Context

Raised 2026-07-06 after confirming Dispatcharr's container and web UI (port 9191) were healthy, and separately after fixing a Komodo deploy issue for the Dispatcharr LXC (see #36 and #194).

What's unverified

Both Jellyfin (192.168.1.250:8096, v10.11.7) and Dispatcharr (192.168.1.254:9191) respond fine individually, but the actual Live TV integration between them — i.e. whether Jellyfin's Live TV tuner is successfully pulling the channel list and EPG/guide data from Dispatcharr — has never been confirmed via API. Checking this requires Jellyfin's Live TV API (e.g. tuner status, channel/guide endpoints), which needs an authenticated Jellyfin API key. No such key is currently stored/available.

Suggested next step

  1. Generate a Jellyfin API key: Jellyfin admin dashboard -> Dashboard -> API Keys -> create one (read-only if possible).
  2. Use it to query Jellyfin's Live TV endpoints (tuner devices, channels, guide data) and confirm channels/EPG are actually populated and current, not just that the tuner is configured.
  3. Alternatively/faster: just check the Jellyfin UI directly under Dashboard -> Live TV -> Tuner Devices and Guide, to eyeball whether Dispatcharr's channels and EPG are showing up with recent data.

This is a verification task, not a known-broken bug — flagging it because it was explicitly left unconfirmed rather than assumed working.
