Features & Capabilities

TvhClient will enable your iPhone or iPad to easily perform your TVHeadend common daily tasks and allow you to watch your channels on your device.

TvhClient allows you to remotely control the TVHeadend server - a DVB receiver, DVR and streaming server.

The app relies on real-time data it retrieves from the TVHeadend server allowing you to accomplish several tasks, including:

view the channel's streaming video in-app or launch a third party video application,
list channels,
view channel's EPGs,
search by program title,
start, schedule and playback recordings (DVR),
check alternative times for any show scheduled,
view the log / status of the server
browse your muxes and playback any of them without a channel

Supported Tvheadend versions: 3.2 and up. Transcoding is supported in TVHeadend 4.x versions using TVHeadend's profiles.

** For support (or crashes!) contact me at tvhclient@gmail.com or join http://chat.tvhclient.com.

The app supports sending video stream url directly to: VLC, Oplayer, Buzz Player, GoodPlayer, Ace Player, nPlayer and remotely to Kodi (TvhClient does not support passwords in webinterface!). If you know other apps that work well with TVHeadend and want them added, contact me via e-mail.

User Reviews

Overall sentiment is positive. Users praise TVhClient for reliable access to TVHeadend on iPhone, fast streaming, and core features like channel playback and EPG, plus mobile monitoring of TVHeadend. VLC integration and transcoding options are notable strengths. Common improvement requests include parity with the AppleTV version (grid guide, channel logos and dark-mode readability), UI tweaks (EPG UI, top-bar color), and additional casting support (Chromecast) or AirPlay AV sync fixes. Some mention localization and update cadence. Overall, the app delivers solid functionality with room for feature parity and UI refinements.

I’ve paid for the app, but the iPhone version lacks a ton of features available in the AppleTV version. I just want a grid guide and to be able to see channel logos like a normal person… Transparent logos are produced by TVH, so in dark mode I cannot see half the logos (black text on a black background can’t be read). Please give me the option to change the icon backgrounds on all formats of the app so I don’t have to futz with custom icons because of this half baked app in iOS.
