If you're searching for an "Emby Xtream plugin" or "Xtream tuner for Emby," the real goal is getting your Xtream Codes provider into Emby's live TV. Emby's native M3U tuner already does that — you just need the right playlist.
Your provider gives you a portal URL, username, and password, but Emby's tuner wants an M3U playlist. StreamSweeper converts one into the other automatically.
Skip unmaintained Xtream add-ons that break on Emby updates. The built-in M3U tuner is stable and supported, so your setup keeps working release after release.
Loading 10,000+ channels makes Emby's live TV sluggish. StreamSweeper filters down to the 50–200 channels you actually watch before Emby ever loads them.
StreamSweeper generates an XMLTV guide alongside your M3U, so Emby shows now/next, full program info, and smooth channel surfing.
Add your Xtream Codes credentials (portal URL, username, password) to StreamSweeper. It securely loads your full channel list via the Xtream Codes API. Already have an M3U URL? Use that instead.
Select only the channels you want and trim duplicate variants. Filter by group, channel name, or regex pattern, and organize everything into tidy categories that display cleanly in Emby.
StreamSweeper produces a curated M3U playlist URL and an XMLTV guide URL. Both refresh automatically as your provider adds or removes channels.
In Emby, go to Settings → Live TV → Tuner Devices → Add, choose M3U Tuner, and paste your StreamSweeper M3U URL. Emby now treats StreamSweeper as a TV tuner.
Go to Settings → Live TV → TV Guide Data Providers, add XMLTV, and paste your StreamSweeper XMLTV URL. Refresh the guide for a full EPG, channel surfing, and only the channels you care about.
You don't need one. Emby has a built-in M3U tuner, so instead of relying on an Xtream plugin, StreamSweeper converts your Xtream Codes login into an M3U playlist and XMLTV guide Emby accepts natively.
Generate a filtered M3U and XMLTV in StreamSweeper, then in Emby go to Settings → Live TV → Tuner Devices → Add → M3U Tuner and paste the M3U URL. Add the XMLTV URL under TV Guide Data Providers for a full EPG.
