Status: not supported, gauging demand
Programmarr currently requires a Plex-backed media source in Tunarr. If your Tunarr
uses Jellyfin or Emby, Programmarr will now tell you so directly rather than failing with
a confusing error — but it won't work.
Why it isn't a small change
Programmarr doesn't just read titles from Tunarr. It builds its channel candidates from
rich Plex metadata — genres, decades, studios, directors, top-billed actors, and Plex's
Country / Mood / Style tags — and it also writes Tunarr's channel list back into Plex's
DVR mapping so the guide works end to end.
Supporting Jellyfin means a second metadata exporter, a second collections path, and a
rethink of the Plex DVR sync. Plex is currently referenced across ~22 files. It's a real
project, not a flag.
👍 this issue if you want it
I'd rather build this because people actually need it than guess. Reactions on this issue
are how I'll judge priority. A comment saying what your setup looks like (Jellyfin or Emby,
roughly how big a library, whether you use Plex at all) is even more useful.
No promises on timing — but if this gets real traction it moves up the list.
