Anyone with experience creating your own EPG?

I'm looking for a little help.

 

I recently bought an HD Home Run Tuner and have it connected to my Plex server.

 

The issue is that some of the program information Plex provides (via Gracenote, I believe) is incorrect.

 

I've read that it's possible to build your own programming guide using open-source apps and something like Schedules Direct, but I have no ideas beyond the basics.

 

One complicating factor is that I'm using a Mac, and I'd like the solution to stay in this ecosystem.

 

Any ideas? Thanks!

Definitely Channels is your best choice in this situation; it's mainly built for Mac, provides proper TV listings and I've used it for four years and rarely had any headaches running it on my Mac Mini or anything else I want to stream from it as a server through the house and on the road.

 

It is a paid product listings-wise at $9/month but I find it indispensable and you don't have to worry about setups or schedule XML files and configuring things unless you'd like to explore their Docker plug-ins or custom content lists.

Awesome! I'm going to give Channels a shot. Thanks!
