Locast is a "free" app that lets you stream your local channels and with a small donation you are able to add it to your Plex just like an antenna.
Below are the directions for how to set this App up in TrueNAS Scale as of 21.02
Download the config_example.ini file from https://github.com/tgorgdotcom/locast2plex
Edit it so your username, password are correct
set the plex_accessible_ip = to the HostIP
change #plex_accessible_port = 6077 to plex_accessible_port = 6077
leave the rest of it as is.
save as config.ini
In one of your shares place the config.ini file but take note of where it is located in TrueNAS.
Example mine is in the "Apps share" in a folder called locast2plex
but in truenas it looks like [ /mnt/Oden/Apps/locast2plex/config.ini ]
