Watch your Magpie channels in Plex, Jellyfin, Emby or Channels DVR.

Add Magpie as a tuner (the easy path)

In the player
Look for the setup option that adds a DVR or a tuner (menu names vary by player and change over time). Point it at your network and it should list Magpie as an HDHomeRun device — pick it.
If it doesn't find Magpie
If it is not found, add the tuner by the address of the computer running Magpie.
The guide address
If the player asks for a guide (XMLTV) address on its own, use http://<your-server>:24622/iptv/xmltv.xml — replace <your-server> with the address of the computer running Magpie.

The manual path

For players that take a raw playlist
VLC, other IPTV apps, and anything else that wants a channel list rather than a tuner search can use the channel list (M3U) address directly: http://<your-server>:24622/iptv/channels.m3u
Guide
Pair it with the same guide address for program details: http://<your-server>:24622/iptv/xmltv.xml

Same channels either way

No second lineup
Disabled and Watch Together channels are left out.

Where this works

At home
These addresses are open to anything on your home network, the same as the channels themselves — no sign-in needed.
Away from home
If you turn on remote access so Magpie reaches you outside your home network, these addresses need the same sign-in as everything else does once that's on.
