The Tunarr Library is a central place to manage reusable collections of content that can be shared across multiple channels. Rather than re-adding the same videos to every channel individually, you define your collections once in the Library and then reference them wherever needed. The Library has three distinct collection types, each designed for a different scheduling purpose: Filler fills gaps in your schedule with short clips or commercials, Custom Shows lets you group arbitrary videos into a virtual TV series that scheduling tools treat like a real show, and Smart Collections are dynamic saved searches that automatically update as your media library changes.Documentation Index

Filler
Collections of videos — commercials, bumpers, station IDs — that play during Flex time segments to pad your schedule.
Custom Shows
Group any videos into virtual TV episodes. Scheduling tools treat the custom show as a single series with proper episode ordering and progression.
Smart Collections
Saved searches that are populated dynamically. Content matching your filter criteria is automatically included every time the collection is queried.
