Core Features

Input side

Tuliprox can ingest:

• M3U / M3U8 playlists
• Xtream inputs
• local library content

Output side

Tuliprox can publish:

• M3U
• Xtream-style outputs
• HDHomeRun
• STRM Files

That makes it usable both for IPTV players and for media-server-oriented workflows.

Playlist processing

• filter channels and groups
• rename or normalize entries
• apply mappings and templates
• sort and regroup outputs
• merge multiple inputs into a curated target

Runtime streaming

• reverse-proxy streams instead of redirecting them
• keep provider account affinity where clients need it
• share live streams across users
• enforce user connection limits
• prioritize higher-value sessions over lower-priority traffic
• serve custom fallback videos for failure cases
• persist optional stream history for per-variant connect/disconnect, startup-failure, and reconnect telemetry
• aggregate optional QoS snapshots from stream history to rank equivalent channel variants by reliability

Metadata and library

• resolve VOD and series metadata
• probe stream capabilities
• scan local media
• combine local library content with IPTV-oriented outputs
