Rebel IPTV speaks standard M3U + XMLTV and answers as an HDHomeRun tuner, so it drops into players and media servers without lock-in.
Media servers
Jellyfin
Both built in. The M3U Tuner needs just one URL — it reads your guide address out of the playlist. Via the tuner, add the guide too.
Plex
Both work; the tuner is smoother, as Plex's playlist path needs a Plex Pass. Either way, give it your guide URL as an XMLTV source.
Emby
Both built in. Add the tuner or an M3U tuner, then point its guide at your EPG URL.
Channels DVR
Add it as a tuner, or bring the playlist in as custom channels. Add your EPG URL as the guide source.
Players & apps
TiviMate
Premium Android TV experience — paste the playlist + EPG URL.
IPTV Smarters
Popular cross-platform player; M3U or Xtream-style URL.
VLC
Open the M3U directly on any desktop or mobile platform.
Kodi
Use the PVR IPTV Simple Client with the M3U + XMLTV URLs.
OTT Navigator
Rich guide-first Android player; supports M3U + EPG.
Proxies & tuners
Threadfin / xTeVe
No longer needed for Plex, Emby or Channels DVR — the agent answers as an HDHomeRun tuner itself.
Any M3U / XMLTV app
Standards-based output works with essentially any IPTV client.
Two ways in
A playlist, or a tuner — your choice
Most players want the same two things: your M3U playlist URL and your XMLTV guide URL. Some need a plugin to read them at all — Kodi's PVR IPTV Simple Client is the usual example.
Media servers get a second option: your server can answer as an HDHomeRun tuner, which buys you a proper channel grid, DVR and pause/rewind. Jellyfin, Plex, Emby and Channels DVR all accept either route. Which is easier varies — Jellyfin and Emby have an M3U tuner built in, while Plex's playlist path needs a Plex Pass, so the tuner is the smoother one there.
The tuner never carries the guide. It hands over your channels — their numbers and names — and nothing about what's on them, so on that route you always add your EPG URL separately as an XMLTV guide source. The playlist is different: it carries the guide's address inside it, so a player that looks there needs only the one URL. And because your server never announces itself on the network, you always type its address in yourself.
