Live TV Builder — Jellyfin Plugin

Auto-configure Jellyfin's native Live TV from a Live TV Builder lineup. Pick your country, postal/ZIP code, provider lineup, and languages on a settings page inside Jellyfin, and the plugin wires up an M3U tuner + an XMLTV guide for you. No more hunting for or copy-pasting URLs that you have to sift through 14,000 channels just to find the channels you want.

How it works

1. The config page calls a small admin-only endpoint in the plugin (/LiveTvBuilder/Providers) which proxies GET /api/providers from Live TV Builder server-side — so the browser never makes a cross-origin request.
2. On save, POST /LiveTvBuilder/Apply stores your inputs and constructs two URLs:
   • …/api/download/m3u?country=…&zip=…&providerId=…&languages=…
   • …/api/download/epg?…same…
3. The plugin writes those into Jellyfin's Live TV config as an m3u TunerHost and an xmltv ListingsProvider (replacing its own previous entries), then Jellyfin keeps them fresh on its normal guide-refresh schedule.

Requirements

• Jellyfin 10.10.x (adjust targetAbi in build.yaml and the package versions in the .csproj for other versions).
• .NET 8 SDK (to build locally).

Build locally

dotnet build Jellyfin.Plugin.LiveTvBuilder/Jellyfin.Plugin.LiveTvBuilder.csproj -c Release

The compiled Jellyfin.Plugin.LiveTvBuilder.dll is the plugin artifact. For manual install, copy it into a Live TV Builder folder under your Jellyfin plugins directory and restart the server.

Install via the plugin repository (recommended)

1. In Jellyfin: Dashboard → Plugins → Repositories → +.
2. Add the repository URL (your hosted manifest.json): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obxidion/Live-TV-Builder-Jellyfin-Plugin/main/manifest.json
3. Catalog → Live TV Builder → Install, then restart Jellyfin.
4. Configure under Dashboard → Plugins → Live TV Builder.
