Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes

  • GPU passthrough For Nvidia GPUs: install the Nvidia drivers (e.g. via the Unraid Nvidia plugin) and add --runtime=nvidia to the container's extra parameters, then set NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES to your GPU's UUID. For Intel GPUs: add 'modprobe i915' to the go file, save and reboot, then add --device=/dev/dri to the extra parameters. source

Common questions

How can I watch the channels I create in Tunarr?

Add the spoofed Tunarr HDHomeRun tuner to Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby. You can also use the generated M3U files with a third-party IPTV player app.

Can I run Tunarr without Docker?

Tunarr can be started with Docker or with standalone binaries.

Why do Plex native apps fail to load Tunarr thumbnails or icons?

This usually happens when Tunarr is not served over https while Plex uses secure server connections. The secure Plex client blocks requests for thumbnails or icons from an http Tunarr host.

Is remote access affected in the standalone Windows build?

A reported issue shows it can be reachable only at localhost, even with the Windows firewall configured or disabled.
