+ErsatzTV needs to know about your media items in order to create channels.
+Two library kinds are currently supported: [Local](#local-libraries) and [Plex](#plex-libraries).
+
+## Local Libraries
+
+ErsatzTV provides three local libraries, one for each supported media kind: `Movies`, `Shows` and `Music Videos`.
+
+### Metadata
+
+With local libraries, ErsatzTV will read metadata from [NFO files](https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files), falling back to a *minimal* amount of metadata if NFO files are not found.
+
+### Add Media Items
+
+To add media items to a local library under `Media` > `Libraries`, click the edit button for the library:
+
+
+
+Then click the `Add Library Path` button and enter the path where your media files of the appropriate kind are stored:
+
+
+
+Finally, click `Add Local Library Path` and ErsatzTV will scan and import your media items.
+
+## Plex Libraries
+
+Plex libraries provide a way to synchronize your media (metadata) from Plex to ErsatzTV.
+This synchronization process is one-way: changes made within Plex are synchronized to ErsatzTV.
+ErsatzTV will never make any modifications to your Plex configuration or media.
+
+### Metadata
+
+With Plex libraries, Plex provides all metadata.
+
+### Add Media Items
+
+#### Sign In
+
+The add media items from Plex under `Media Sources` > `Plex`, click the `Sign in to Plex` button and sign in with your Plex account.
+
+#### Synchronize Libraries
+
+After signing in, select which libraries you would like to synchronize from Plex to ErsatzTV by clicking the `Edit Libraries` button for the desired Plex server.
+
+
+
+In the libraries listing, click the `Synchronize` switch for all libraries you would like to synchronize from Plex to ErsatzTV, and click the `Save Changes` button to start the synchronization process.
+
+
+
+### Path Replacements
+
+Media items are not streamed from Plex media sources. Instead, ErsatzTV will attempt to play media items from disk using the same path that Plex uses to play the media item.
+There are two ways to make this work:
+
+1. Ensure ErsatzTV has access to exactly the same shares and mounts as Plex
+2. Configure path replacements to tell ErsatzTV where it should look on its file system for a given Plex folder
+
+Option 1 is recommended as it will "just work" without any further configuration.
+
+To configure path replacements for a Plex media source, click the `Edit Path Replacements` button in the
+
+
+
+Click `Add Path Replacement` to add a new path replacement, and enter the `Plex Path` along with the equivalent `Local Path` for ErsatzTV.
+Click `Save Changes` after you have created all needed path replacements.
+
+
+
+## Collections
+
+ErsatzTV does not schedule individual media items; only collections of items can be scheduled.
+To create a collection, find the media items you would like to include and select them by clicking the selection button in the top left of the poster:
+
+
+
+Then, add to a collection by clicking the `Add To Collection` button at the top of the page.
+
+
+
+In the `Add To Collection` dialog, either select an existing collection for the items, or enter a new collection name to create a collection and add all of the selected items in a single step.

+A [Plex Pass](https://www.plex.tv/plex-pass/) is required for ErsatzTV to work with Plex.
+
+### Add DVR
+
+From Plex Settings, click `Live TV & DVR` and `Set Up Plex DVR` to add a new DVR.
+If ErsatzTV is not automatically detected
+
+ * Click to `enter its network address manually`
+ * Enter ErsatzTV's IP address and port, like `192.168.1.100:8409` (use your server IP, not necessarily 192.168.1.100)
+ * Click `Connect`
+
+
+
+### Add XMLTV
+
+Click `Continue` on the channel listing, then

+
+
+
+Make any desired changes to the channels, then click `Continue` to complete DVR setup.
+
+## Jellyfin
+
+Jellyfin requires two steps to configure Live TV:
+
+- [Add Tuner Device](#add-tuner-device)
+- [Add TV Guide Data](#add-tv-guide-data)
+
+### Add Tuner Device
+
+From the Admin Dashboard in Jellyfin, click `Live TV` and `+` to add a new tuner device:
+
+
+
+For `Tuner Type` select `HD Homerun`, and for `Tuner IP Address` enter ErsatzTV's IP address and port, like `192.168.1.100:8409` (use your server IP, not necessarily 192.168.1.100).
+
+
+
+### Add TV Guide Data
+
+From the Admin Dashboard in Jellyfin, click `Live TV` and `+` to add a tv guide data provider and select `XMLTV`.
+
+
+
+Enter the `XMLTV` url from ErsatzTV (see [required urls](#required-urls)) and click `Save`.
+
+
+
+## TiviMate
+
+### Add Playlist
+
+Start by adding a playlist under `Settings` > `Playlists` > `Add playlist`.
+The playlist type is `M3U Playlist` and the url is the `M3U` url from ErsatzTV (see [required urls](#required-urls)).
+
+
+
+Change the playlist name if desired, and leave `TV playlist` selected.
+
+### Add EPG
+
+The EPG url should be automatically detected by TiviMate, but can be manually entered as the `XMLTV` url from ErsatzTV (see [required urls](#required-urls)).
+
+
+
+## Channels DVR Server
+
+[Channels Plus](https://getchannels.com/plus/) is required for ErsatzTV to work with Channels (via Channels DVR Server).
+
+### Add Custom Channel Source
+
+In Channels DVR Server Settings, click `Add Source` and select `Custom Channels`.
+
+- Give your custom channel source a name
+- Select `MPEG-TS` as the stream format
+- Enter the `M3U` url from ErsatzTV (see [required urls](#required-urls))
+- Select `Refresh URL daily`
+- Set a stream limit if desired (not required)
+- Click `Save`
+
+
+
+### Add Guide Data Provider
+
+In Channels DVR Settings, click the gear icon next to the ErsatzTV channel source and select `Set Provider`:

+## Create Channel
+
+Create a Channel by navigating to the `Channels` page and clicking `Add Channel`.
+
+### Channel Number
+
+Channel numbers can be whole numbers or can contain one decimal, like `500` or `500.5`.
+
+### Streaming Mode
+
+Two streaming modes are currently supported: `Transport Stream` and `HttpLiveStreaming`.
+`Transport Stream` is considered stable and is recommended for most purposes.
+`HttpLiveStreaming` is unstable and is not recommended for general use.
+
+### FFmpeg Profile
+
+FFmpeg Profiles are collections of transcoding settings that are applied to all content on a channel.
+The default FFmpeg Profile is probably "good enough" for initial testing.
+
+### Logo
+
+Channel logos can be added using the `Upload Logo` button and the logos will display in most client program guides.
+
+## Create Schedule
+
+Schedules are used to control the playback order of media items on a channel.
+Create a Schedule by navigating to the `Schedules` page, clicking `Add Schedule` and giving your schedule a name, a collection playback order, and clicking `Add Schedule` to confirm your selections.
+
+### Collection Playback Order
+
+Select the desired playback order for media items within each collection in the schedule:
+
+- `Chronological`: Items are ordered by release date, then by season and episode number.
+- `Random`: Items are randomly ordered and may contain repeats.
+- `Shuffle`: Items are randomly ordered and no item will be played a second time until every item from the collection has been played once.
+
+### Schedule Items
+
+Schedules contain an ordered list of items (collections), and will play back one or more items from each collection before advancing to the next schedule item.
+
+Edit the new schedule's items by clicking the `Edit Schedule Items` button for the schedule:
+
+
+
+Add a new item to the schedule by clicking `Add Schedule Item` and configure as desired.
+
+#### Start Type
+
+Items with a `Dynamic` start type will start immediately after the preceding schedule item, while a `Fixed` start type requires a start time.
+
+#### Collection Type
+
+Schedule items can contain the following collection types:
+
+- `Collection`: Select a collection that you have created manually.
+- `Television Show`: Select an entire television show.
+- `Television Season`: Select a specific season of a television show.
+
+#### Collection
+
+Based on the selected collection type, select the desired collection.
+
+#### Playout Mode
+
+Select how you want this schedule item to behave every time it is selected for playback.
+
+- `One`: Play one media item from the collection before advancing to the next schedule item.
+- `Multiple`: Play the specified `Multiple Count` of media items from the collection before advancing to the next schedule item.
+- `Duration`: Play the maximum number of complete media items that will fit in the specified `Playout Duration` before either going offline for the remainder of the playout duration (an `Offline Tail`), or immediately advancing to the next schedule item.
+- `Flood`: Play media items from the collection either forever or until the next schedule item's start time, if one exists.
+
+Click `Save Changes` to save all changes made to the schedule's items.
+
+## Create Playout
+
+Playouts assign a schedule to a channel and individually track the ordered playback of collection items.
+If a schedule is used in multiple playouts (channels), the channels may not have the same content playing at the same time.
+
+To create a Playout, navigate to the `Playouts` page and click the `Add Playout` button. Then, select the appropriate channel and schedule, and click `Add Playout` to save.
