Threadfin is an M3U proxy server for Plex DVR and Emby/Jellyfin Live TV, forked from xTeVe. It merges and filters external M3U playlists and XMLTV EPG files, manages channel mapping, and re-streams channels with an adjustable number of tuners.

Use cases

  • proxy m3u playlists into plex dvr
  • use iptv m3u streams with jellyfin live tv
  • merge multiple m3u and xmltv files into one playlist
  • filter and map iptv channels for emby live tv
  • self-host an xteve replacement with docker
  • renumber and reorder iptv channels with logos and categories

When to choose

  • you use Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin and want to consume IPTV M3U streams as live TV
  • you need to merge, filter, or renumber multiple M3U/XMLTV sources
  • you want a maintained fork of xTeVe with a modern UI and RAM-based buffering

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose video streaming or transcoding server rather than an M3U proxy
  • you want a turnkey IPTV player rather than middleware between playlists and a DVR/media server
  • you require guaranteed production stability from the beta branch features
