locast2tuner

DEPRECATION WARNING! Unfortunately locast.org is no longer. This means that this project has been deprecated..

This application provides an interface between locast.org and Media Servers like Plex Media Server (PMS) and Emby by acting like an HDHomerun or an m3u tuner and an XMLTV provider.

locast2tuner can imitate one or more digital tuners and provides geo cloaking across regions.

❗ Since locast.org uses Amazon Cloudfront to stream, region restrictions imposed by Cloudfront can not be circumvented. This means that locast2tuner might not work outside of the United States.

Features

• Override your location using zip codes or cities
• Multiple digital tuners in a single server, either as separate servers or as one (multiplexing)
• Acts like either an HDHomerun or an m3u tuner
• Provides locast.org EPG information as an XMLTV guide
• And many more
