Personal TV channel scheduler for selecting, scheduling, and casting YouTube and personal videos to a smart TV.

Here's a step-by-step guide for using the Personal TV Channel Scheduler template:

Introduction

The Personal TV Channel Scheduler template allows you to create a personalized TV channel by selecting, scheduling, and casting YouTube videos to a smart TV. This template provides a web interface for managing your video schedule and watching your curated content.

Getting Started

  1. Click "Start with this Template" to begin using the Personal TV Channel Scheduler template in Lazy.

  2. Press the "Test" button to deploy the application and launch the Lazy CLI.

Using the App

Once the app is deployed, you'll be provided with a server link to access the web interface. The interface consists of three main pages:

  1. Home Page: Add and manage videos
  2. Schedule Page: View and edit your video schedule
  3. Watch Page: Stream your scheduled content

Home Page

On the home page, you can:

  • Add YouTube videos by pasting their URLs
  • Create daily playlist schedules
  • View and manage your video library

To add a video:

  1. Paste a YouTube URL into the "Paste YouTube URL here" field
  2. Enter a title for the video (optional)
  3. Click "Add Video"

To add a daily playlist:

  1. Paste a YouTube Playlist URL into the "Paste YouTube Playlist URL here" field
  2. Set the daily time for the playlist to start
  3. Click "Add Playlist"

Schedule Page

The Schedule page allows you to:

  • View your daily and weekly video schedules
  • Drag and drop videos to rearrange the schedule
  • Filter content by type (videos or playlists)
  • Search for specific titles

To rearrange videos:

  1. Click and hold on a video in the schedule
  2. Drag it to the desired time slot
  3. Release to drop the video in its new position

Watch Page

The Watch page is where you can stream your scheduled content. It features:

  • A main video player for the current video
  • An "Up Next" panel showing upcoming videos
  • Options to skip to the next video or jump to a specific upcoming video

To watch your channel:

  1. Navigate to the Watch page
  2. The current scheduled video will start playing automatically
  3. Use the "Up Next" panel to see what's coming up or skip to a different video

Integrating with a Smart TV

To cast your personal TV channel to a smart TV, you'll need to use a casting device or software that supports web page casting. Some options include:

  • Chromecast: Use the Google Chrome browser's built-in casting feature
  • Apple TV: Use AirPlay from an iOS device or Mac
  • Roku: Use the screen mirroring feature from a compatible device

Steps for Chromecast:

  1. Ensure your Chromecast and computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
  2. Open Google Chrome and navigate to your Personal TV Channel Scheduler's Watch page
  3. Click the three-dot menu in Chrome, then select "Cast..."
  4. Choose your Chromecast device from the list
  5. Select the tab with your Watch page to cast it to your TV

The exact steps may vary depending on your casting method and device. Consult your smart TV or casting device's documentation for specific instructions on web page casting.

By following these steps, you'll be able to create, manage, and watch your personalized TV channel using the Personal TV Channel Scheduler template.
