Live TV

Overview of Setup

Setup of Live TV can be broken down into a few steps:

• Configure your TV Tuner(s) or M3U based IPTV sources
• Add TV Guide Data Source(s)
• Match your Channel Lineup to Guide Data (Channel Mapping)

Configure Your TV Tuner

Out of the box, Emby Server currently supports the following TV Tuners:

• HDHomerun Network Tuner (Models available for both OTA and Cable)
• Hauppauge TV Tuners (on Emby Server for Windows)
• M3U files (or urls). See examples of m3u files at http://xmtvplayer.com/build-m3u-file

Support for additional tuners can be added by installing a Live TV Plugin.

In most cases, Emby Server will automatically discover your HDHomerun on your network with no configuration required. You can manually add a tuner as well. Simply open the server dashboard, navigate to Live TV, then click Add underneath tuner devices.

Add a TV Guide Data Source

Out of the box, Emby Server currently supports the following TV Guide data sources:

• Emby Guide Data (United States, Canada and United Kingdom)
• Schedules Direct
• Xml TV

Support for additional sources can be added by installing a Live TV Plugin.

Match your Channel Lineup to Guide Data

The final step of setting up Live TV is matching the tuner's stations to the Guide Data you have setup. Live TV Channel Mapping
