This application provides an interface between locast.org and Media Servers like [Plex Media Server (PMS)](https://plex.tv) and [Emby](https://emby.media) by acting like an [HDHomerun](https://www.silicondust.com/) 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.
