    General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score

    From the README

    Create and configure live TV channels using media on your Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby servers.

    Access your channels by adding the spoofed Tunarr HDHomerun tuner to Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby. Or utilize the m3u URL with any IPTV player app (we love UHF and Tivimate).

    Tunarr is a rewrite + rebrand of dizqueTV (which in itself was a fork of other projects!). This project was born out of both a love for TV and an appreciation for the work put into dizqueTV and its predecessors.
