Media Servers

Connect media servers so their live TV guides refresh automatically after each EPG generation. Configure under Settings → Media Servers.

All three integrations support any number of servers, and every configured server across all three refreshes in parallel after generation — one slow or offline server never delays the others.

Each server entry takes a URL and either an API key (recommended — generate in the server dashboard) or username/password. Click Add Server for additional servers; an optional name keeps logs readable. After each generation Teamarr triggers a guide refresh on every entry so new programmes appear without waiting for the server’s own scheduled refresh.

Saved secrets display as ******** — leave them as-is to keep the stored value, or type over them to replace.

Channels DVR

Channels DVR splits channel-list and guide data into two providers, so Teamarr refreshes both:

M3U Source — the custom channels source that pulls from Dispatcharr (POST /providers/m3u/sources/<name>/refresh)
XMLTV Lineup — the guide data source for those channels (PUT /dvr/lineups/<id>). Without this the channels update but the guide stays stale. If you don’t pick a lineup, Teamarr derives XMLTV-<source name> automatically.

Both dropdowns are discovered live from the server once a URL is set. The local Channels DVR API is unauthenticated by design — no credentials needed.

Multiple servers

Useful when several households or locations share one Dispatcharr: click Add Server and give each entry its URL, M3U source, and lineup. Every listed server receives the same channel set and EPG. The east/west or per-household split (which channels each DVR actually shows) lives in Dispatcharr profiles, not in Teamarr.

Times shown inside programme titles/descriptions come from your templates and render in Teamarr’s EPG timezone. Guide grid times always render in each client’s local timezone automatically — XMLTV timestamps carry offsets. If your servers span timezones, avoid time-of-day template variables rather than looking for per-server EPGs.
