Welcome to the RetroIPTVGuide wiki. This is the central reference for installing, configuring, and using RetroIPTVGuide.


What Is RetroIPTVGuide?

RetroIPTVGuide is a self-hosted IPTV guide interface inspired by classic cable television listings from the 1990s and early 2000s. It aggregates IPTV playlists and XMLTV program data and presents them through a retro-style channel guide optimised for home labs, smart TV browsers, and Raspberry Pi kiosks.

RetroIPTVGuide is an interface only. It does not host, transcode, or distribute any media content.
