Regions
locast2tuner can manipulate regions in various different ways. It can override the location you appear to be coming from and it supports using multiple locations at the same time.
Location overrides
By default locast2tuner uses your IP address to determine your location, but it also allows you to override the locast.org location you're creating a tuner for. This is done by mapping a zip code to geographical coordinates.
Check locast.org for an up-to-date list of available locations.
There are two configuration options available to override the location:
| Option | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
override_zipcodes | Use a comma separated list of zip codes | --override_zipcodes "90210,55111"(cli)$l2t_override_zipcodes="90210,55111" (env vars)override_zipcodes = ["90210", "55111"](config file) |
override_cities | Use a pipe separated list of "City, State" | --override_cities "Los Angeles, CA\|Portland, OR"(cli)$l2t_override_cities="Los Angeles, CA\|Portland, OR" (env vars)override_cities = ["Los Angeles, CA", "Portland, OR"](config file) |
A file with all available locast regions is included in the locast2tuner distribution.
Multiple instances
When using multiple locations, locast2tuner will start multiple instances. Those instances will be available on TCP ports starting at the value that is specified with the port (or the default 6077) argument and incremented by one. It will also generate UUIDs for each tuner.
PMS supports multiple devices, but does not support multiple Electronic Programming Guides (EPGs). Emby supports both. I personally use Emby since it allows for multiple EPGs.
