Implementation Notes
2026-03-22: IPTV Infrastructure Deployed
- Threadfin container running on Netcup (
/opt/media-server/) - Admin UI at
threadfin.jeffemmett.comvia Traefik tv.jefflix.lolredirect → Jellyfin Live TV section configured- "Watch Live TV" + "Listen to Music" buttons added to jefflix.lol website
- Using iptv-org/iptv (90k+ stars) for community-curated free channel lists
Still TODO:
- Configure Threadfin with M3U playlists (English, sports, news channels)
- Add XMLTV EPG source for program guide
- Configure Jellyfin Live TV tuner (M3U →
http://threadfin:34400/auto/v1/m3u) - Add Cloudflare DNS CNAME for
tv.jefflix.lol - Enable Threadfin web auth
- Test playback end-to-end
2026-03-22: IPTV Fully Deployed
All infrastructure live:
- Threadfin running at
threadfin.jeffemmett.com(3,468 streams from iptv-org) tv.jefflix.lolredirects to Jellyfin Live TV section- Jellyfin has 3 M3U tuners: English (2,269ch), News, Sports
- 3,468 total Live TV channels available in Jellyfin
- "Watch Live TV" + "Listen to Music" buttons on jefflix.lol website
- Cloudflare DNS + tunnel configured for both subdomains
Remaining manual tasks:
- Set up Threadfin web auth (visit threadfin.jeffemmett.com → Settings)
- Map XEPG channels in Threadfin for curated filtered playlist
- EPG guide requires self-hosted iptv-org/epg generator (no pre-built guides available)
- Eleza TV subscription still optional for premium sports content
2026-04-06: EPG Guide Fixed - Full 24h Coverage
Problems identified and fixed:
- Mismatched FAST streams: 11 channels had FAST/Pluto TV streams but EPG was for real cable channels. Replaced with real tvpass.org HLS feeds.
- EPG source overnight gap: tvpassport.com only covered 10:00+ UTC. Switched 31 channels to tvguide.com/tvtv.us for full 24h coverage.
- Stale Jellyfin listing provider: Old XMLTV provider had cached state causing 6h time shifts. Fixed by deleting and re-creating the provider.
Changes on Netcup (media-server stack):
- channels.m3u: Replaced 11 stream URLs with tvpass.org feeds, fixed display names
- channels.xml: Switched 14 US channels to tvguide.com, 17 to tvtv.us, kept tvpassport.com for intl news
- Jellyfin: Deleted old XMLTV listing provider, re-created fresh
Result: 40+ channels with correct EPG at any hour, up from 5-6. Fixed remaining 5 broken channels (A&E, E!, FX, Disney Channel, CBS News) by switching from stale tvguide.com site IDs to tvtv.us. All 56 EPG-configured channels now have full 24h guide data.
