About Tunarr
Tunarr recreates the feel of classic television using your own media. It pulls content from Plex, Jellyfin, Emby or NFO-described folders and serves it as IPTV channels with a schedule, which you can then watch in an IPTV-capable player or feed back into your media server.
It runs as a server with a web interface and can be deployed with Docker. The project is actively developed on GitHub.
