• Tuners

nixflix.jellyfin.liveTv¶

The jellyfin-livetv service reconciles Jellyfin's Live TV settings at boot and whenever the declaration changes:

• A declared tuner is matched by its url, and a guide by its path. Each is created if missing and updated in place if it differs. Nothing is written when Jellyfin already matches, and the guide is refreshed only after a change.
• Changing a tuner's url replaces the tuner, and its channels get new ids.
• A tuner or guide that you stop declaring is removed. Tuners and guides added by hand in the dashboard are never touched.
• Fields not set in settings keep whatever value Jellyfin holds.

A complete free example can be found in Jellyfin Live TV Example.
