nixflix.jellyfin.liveTv.tuners.<name>.url

The M3U playlist: a local file path or an http(s) URL. This is how Jellyfin identifies the tuner, so changing it replaces the tuner (its channels get new ids). Use { _secret = path; } for a provider URL that carries credentials.

Warning

Can be a plain string (visible in Nix store) or { _secret = /path/to/file; } for file-based secrets.

Plain-text secrets will be visible in the Nix store. Use { _secret = path; } for sensitive data.

Typenon-empty string or (submodule)
