When there 2 or more shows on a single channel, add the ability to set the specific chunk size for each show individually. Ex. If Show A and Show B are on the shame channel, the user is able to set it such that Show A will play 60 min of content for every 30 min of content for Show B.

When the application starts, it first scans all of the passed in TV show directories and processes the media files. On a subsequent run, the application will see that it has already processed a TV show directory and would just skip it. Extra checks should be added so if the media files have changed, such as some files being deleted or new ones appearing, the directory is reprocessed and the channels are updated as needed.

Add the ability to create a channel that sources media from multiple series.

Currently, when a channel is created, it is directly linked with a specific series. This should change to allow multiple series being connected to a channel.

As the stream progresses, the start and end time of episodes in the TV guide gradually become out of sync to the video stream. This is due to how FFmpeg is concating the files together. When contacting videos together, the resulting output file has a longer runtime than the runtimes of the source files added together.

Currently channels only run in sequential order. A new option should be added to the configuration file so that instead, the episodes are played in random order.

Along with this new option, a sub-option should be added of chunk size. When playing the episodes for a show in random order, the show will first be split into chunks of the user set size and then play in random order.

The application should be updated to allow having media files of different codecs/types in the same channel.

Currently, a channel can only be made up of source media files that are the same type due to the ffmpeg command being used to start the stream. There are multiple ways this can attempted to be solved. One is the addition of functionality which preprocesses files into a standard media format can be added to allow the acceptance of any media type. Another is by updating the ffmpeg command used so instead of only copying the video and audio streams, it transcodes them. Note that a live transcoding solution would lead to a very large server processing load, especially if many channels would be running at once with transcoding on.

After running the script manually, the console does not update with what is being typed by the user. Commands can still be run and their outputs still work fine, you just don't see what the user is typing.

Add ability to pass in a logo file into the config parameters for a channel. The logo file will need to be linked to into the generated m3u file.

Currently, when a TV show is added to the database, only the show name is passed in along side it. To then add that show to a channel, the specific show needs to be passed to the channel. This means for a channel to have 10 shows, all 10 shows would have to be passed to the channel. Instead of having to pass every single show to be played on a channel manually, a tagging system should be implemented for the scanned content. When a show is then added to be scanned, not only will the name of the show be passed, a list of tags may also be passed. Then on channel creation, a set of tags can be passed in and all shows with those tags would be used to generate the channel.

The scripts should be packaged into a Docker container for easy deployment and usage.

Add the ability to create a channel solely of movies.

Currently, the application only checks if a channel is already running on every run. If between runs, a new show is added to an already running channel, the application will simply see the channel is already running and skip processing of the channel. Additional functionality should be added where the application completes a "deep check" on the running channel, not only checking if it's running but also checking the configuration settings for the channel. If any configuration changes have been made, the channel should be killed, and restarted with the updating settings.

Add TVDB as an informational source
