## Integrating TVHeadend without a plugin
It's possible to use TVHeadend with Jellyfin through as an M3U/XMLTV integrations.
This integration requires more CPU processing, and the plugin is therefore recommended.
This approach can be used as a backup when the plugin does not work.
1. Go to LiveTV, Tuner devices, and add a new M3U Tuner
2. Set the URL to point to `http://your.tvheadend.server:port/playlist/channels.m3u`
3. Press save
4. Go to LiveTV, TV Guide Data Providers, and add a new XMLTV source
5. Set the URL to point to `http://your.tvheadend.server:port/xmltv/channels`
6. Press save
Wait for the Guide data to refresh.
