Overview

TVHplayer is a desktop application designed for use with Tvheadend servers.

It lets you watch and record live TV channels through a Tvheadend setup.

This software works mainly on Linux but is also available for Windows and MacOS, making it a good choice for users who want cross-platform support.

With TVHplayer, you can watch live TV and save shows either on the Tvheadend server or directly on your computer.

It also shows Electronic Program Guide (EPG) data, which helps you see what’s currently playing and what’s coming up next.

The app supports multiple Tvheadend servers, allowing you to switch between different sources if needed.

You can also monitor the status of your Tvheadend server and check the quality of the signal coming from your TV channels.

It is not a standalone TV player, so you’ll need to set up or connect to a server first.
