Please consider adding TV Everywhere support #106

You have put a lot of effort into an excellent software solution that, it seems, could be easily repurposed for other video service providers.

Please consider adding TV Everywhere support. This would, in turn, allow users to have a single whole home DVR solution (e.g. JellyFin, Plex) for all channels/services to which they subscribe.

Note: in addition to cable operator subscriptions, it's possible to subscribe to OTT services like Philo, Hulu or Fubo to have TVE access to particular channels. So this functionality would benefit subscribers to a wide array of different services. For example: Hulu Philo Fubo

Additionally, please see Channels DVR direct support for TVE: https://getchannels.com/tv-everywhere/

+1. Although more costly than the $5 tribute to Locast, TVE with streaming services is less expensive than cable or full-boat services such as YouTubeTV or "DirectStream". The major benefit of the Locast2tuner + jellyfin combo which we have sadly lost, was, jellyfin provided a DVR which allowed time shifting and ad skipping which were not available in Locast (or in Pluto).
