Hi all đź‘‹
I kept fighting to get an IPTV playlist working nicely as Live TV — fiddly guide mapping, streams that buffer or drop, "all tuners busy" gremlins. So I built Tunaar to make it boring and reliable.
What it is: a single Docker container that emulates a Silicondust HDHomeRun network tuner and serves a unified XMLTV guide. Point Jellyfin or Emby at it and your M3U shows up as a normal Live TV tuner — add it as an M3U/HDHomeRun tuner atÂ
…/lineup.json
 and the guide atÂ
…/epg.xml
. It remuxes streams with ffmpeg for steadier playback. Works with Jellyfin, Emby and Plex; amd64 + arm64, so it's happy on a NAS.
Important: Tunaar ships with no channels and no content — it's just the bridge. You provide your own lawful M3U/EPG sources; you're responsible for their legality (there's an Acceptable Use Policy baked in).
Full disclosure: it's a small commercial product I maintain —
Docs + install:Â

Would genuinely love feedback from this crowd — especially on the Jellyfin setup flow. Happy to answer anything.
