Tunarr is a self-hosted media server that enables users to create custom live TV channels from existing media libraries such as Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, or local files. It allows users to organize content into scheduled or randomized channels that simulate traditional broadcast television experiences. The platform includes tools for building channel lineups, inserting filler content like commercials or music videos, and managing playback preferences. It provides integration with IPTV systems through M3U playlists and can emulate HDHomeRun tuners for compatibility with media platforms. tunarr also supports hardware-accelerated transcoding to optimize streaming performance across devices. Its web-based interface includes a TV guide view, making it easy to navigate and manage channels. Designed for flexibility, it transforms static media libraries into dynamic streaming experiences.
