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 beta state at the moment. Not everythings works perfectly and needs testing.

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)

Implemented Features

Here is a list of all implemented features so far. Not all features listed below are finished or error free and are still in active development.

Features:

  • Setup wizard for first start
  • Channel List
  • EPG (current playing / view per channel)
  • Video Stream Player for channels and recordings (depends on the installed codecs of gstreamer)
  • Manage recordings (schedule / stop / cancel / delete)
  • Data cache for offline mode
  • User authentication (stored with Sailfish Secrets)

Planned Features

  • Schedule recordings in offline mode (transfer when server is available again)
  • Administrative controls
  • all other feature requests

Translations

  • English
  • German

Intention of this project

This app is part of my plan to replace all android apps I use with native ones. If they don't exist, I will try to create one.

The "bug" is only at the loading of the page, when current  position and duration are still have value 0.

Thank you for working EPG software at this stage of app! Are there any "superuser" guides of how-to-build codecs from sources? Git's? I would like this app evolve as my daily Live TV driver.

Thanks for your feedback!

At the moment there is no package for mpeg-ts available as far as i know.
It was on my ToDo list to build that myself, but I never made it.
Maybe in the future, if my daily work leaves me enough time ;-)

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
