Tuner Emulation

locast2tuner can act as both a HDHomerun device or as an m3u tuner. Plex mainly supports HDHomerun, while Emby supports both.

In case locast2tuner is used as an HDHomerun device it will copy the mpegts stream from locast.org to the Media server. This means that the video stream itself will be passed through locast2tuner.

When using locast2tuner as an m3u tuner, it will pass on the m3u from locast to the media server without any stream interference. This means that the media server will directly connect to the stream.

  • For use as a HDHomerun tuner, use IP:PORT (defaults to http://127.0.0.1:6077) to connect
  • For use as an m3u tuner, use http://IP:PORT/tuner.m3u (defaults to http://127.0.0.1:6077/tuner.m3u) as the URL to connect.
