TVH Client
TVH Client is a native Sailfish OS client app for TVHeadend server. This app uses the RESTful API of TVHeadend.
Current state of development
The development is in alpha state at the moment. Not everythings works perfectly and needs testing. At the moment there is no possibility to access the TVHeadend server when authentication is active!
First start can take a while and the app can become unresponsive for a moment because of active caching.
Sailfish OS
This application is tested with Sailfish OS Versions:
- 3.4.0.24 (Pallas Yllästunturi)
- 4.0.1.45 (Koli)

Features:
- Setup wizard for first start

- Video Stream Player for channels and recordings (depends on the installed codecs of gstreamer)
- Manage recordings (schedule / stop / cancel / delete)

Hi black sheep!
What codecs are needed for streaming?

This depends. What you need e.g. for SD channels is MPEG-TS.

Very nice! Setting up an unauthenticated user on the server turned out to be quite easy: create user * with password * and limit access to the local network (in my case 192.168.0.0/24).
However, authentication could work in the server string (Kodi and VLC can access the tuners this way) if the syntax check was disabled:
http://user:pass@server
or
http://user:pass@server:port
