But if you want DVR functionality or remote streaming outside your home, you need Plex Pass.īear in mind that some services, such as YouTube TV, offer local channels without any additional hardware. Plex Pass (Optional): Any Plex user can set up OTA TV on their server.(If you happen to own a digital tuner with an Ethernet port, give it a try, it might work.) That said, Plex offers a full list of compatible tuners on its website. I suggest using the SiliconDust HDHomeRun, as it works with all Plex servers regardless of their operating system or region. Supported Tuner: You need a digital TV tuner to process information from your antenna.If you live in a rural area, try using the latter option to improve signal quality and broaden your selection of channels. Any digital antenna will work, whether it’s indoor or outdoor. Digital Antenna: A TV antenna is required for this project.I am already able to play the IPTV channels that I added to PVR Simple Client on the OSMC media browser. I assume OSMC came up as an option because its media center feature allows it to broadcast media files to any computer connected to the same network. So this all lies around whether it is truly possible to broadcast IPTV channels that are added to KODI’s PVR Simple Client add-on on OSMC, so that it appears like a HDHomeRun tuner to any Plex server. There was no discussion of TVHeadend being necessary in this process. This possibility came up in a Plex thread where it seems a lot of users were using a proxy tuner called “Telly” to emulate a HDHomeRun TV tuner to connect to Plex DVR.Īt any rate, the rabbit hole leads to some Reddit chats that bring up OSMC was being capable of broadcasting tv channels loaded on KODI’s PVR Simple Client directly to Plex DVR via port 3000.
