Windows Release Candidate

Take control of your Jellyfin Live TV workflow.

Citadel Guide is a local Windows application for organizing M3U channels, managing XMLTV/EPG data, reviewing guide matches, automating refreshes, creating backups, and checking Jellyfin Live TV health from one interface.

Built for the annoying parts of Live TV setup.

Citadel Guide gives you one place to maintain the pieces that usually live across playlists, XML files, scripts, logs, and Jellyfin settings.

Channels

Import and manage M3U channel lineups, edit metadata, groups, and logos.

EPG & XMLTV

Review matched, suggested, manual, and unmatched guide relationships.

Automation

Schedule guide refresh workflows and review job history and logs.

Backups

Jellyfin

Feedback & Bugs
