I love having an entire live TV channel dedicated to re-runs of old Star Trek episodes

Ok so, I have a little Kodi setup which includes a live tv system hooked up to Pluto so I can grab a bunch of channels for free. Turns out, this includes not one, but two whole channels of just Star Trek!

The first one is mostly TNG and the original series, and the other one ("creatively" called More Star Trek) has mainly Voyager and Deep Space Nine. I like these because I don't even have to think about what episode to watch, and can just enjoy some Star Trek!

The only downside to this is well, ads lol

I used to have channel that would only run Sci-fi shows on repeat without any breaks or ads.

Few of the shows that ran on it: ST:TNG, ST:DS9, ST:ENT, ST:VOY, ST:DIS, Stargate: SG1, Stargate:Atlantis, Stargate: Universe, Dark Matter, Expanse,

And they would go in cricles, like one episode of each show. Sometimes they would do a marathon and just play the entire show in few days. NON-STOP, NO-ADS Sci fi goodness. Best TV channel i ever had.

I use DisqueTV on my Plex Server to do this.

I have an offline raspberry pi hooked up to my tv that just plays Futurama. There is no controller, no ability to switch episodes, it just continues playing randomly. If you turn on the TV it will just be in the middle of a random futurama episode.

I've finally ripped all my original Trek DVD/Blu-Rays and am going to make a second one for Trek.

The only choice I'll have to make then is input 1 for Futurama or input 2 for Trek!

Cool! Can you share how you set this up? I would love to make something like this.

I used to run a plugin on my Kodi that would make TV-style channels based on the original airing channel, complete with EPG and everything.

However, it wouldn't let you add lists of shows and create channels that way. I never got around to making my version, but perhaps someone else has done the work since then.
