Local Media¶

Local Media Sources allow scheduling media from your filesystem without requiring a media server like Plex or Jellyfin.

Tunarr traverses folders to discover metadata and media files which can then be scheduled to channels.

Movies

Add movie files with NFO metadata support.
Shows

Add TV series with episode organization and NFO metadata.
Other Videos

Add unstructured video files without specific metadata requirements.
Music

Music Videos

Add music video files with artist, album, and genre metadata via NFO files.

Generating Metadata¶

There are many ways to generate NFO files for consumption by Tunarr if your media does not already have them. Popular *arr stack programs, Jellyfin, and Emby all support writing out NFO files for media.

Folder Structure¶

For best results, organize your media following standard conventions:

Movies:

/movies/
  Movie Name (2024)/
    Movie Name (2024).mkv
    Movie Name (2024).nfo

TV Shows:

/shows/
  Show Name/
