Tunarr is a self-hosted application that creates custom live TV channels from media on Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, or local files, streaming them as IPTV with a spoofed HDHomeRun tuner and M3U output. It provides a web UI for channel lineups, scheduling, filler content, and FFmpeg-based transcoding with hardware acceleration.

Use cases

• create live tv channels from my plex library
• turn my media collection into iptv streams
• simulate cable tv with my own movies and shows
• add custom channels to tivimate or another iptv player
• schedule tv programming with time slots and commercials
• watch my jellyfin media as a continuous broadcast channel
• add a virtual hdhomerun tuner to plex

When to choose

• you want a modern, actively maintained dizqueTV successor
• you need HDHomeRun spoofing plus M3U/IPTV output from one tool
• you want hardware-accelerated transcoding across Nvidia, Intel, and macOS
• you use Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, or local files as media sources

When to avoid

• you need direct-play without transcoding - Tunarr always re-encodes via FFmpeg
• you want a fully stable release - the project is still pre-release with breaking changes between versions
• you need a lightweight tool without FFmpeg or Docker
