Yes, i'm local. TVHeadend server on Synology NAS with IPTV. AppleTV with local ethernet.
Ah, i though de-interlacing was done on the client because i was using pass :-)
I also have an account remotely which also shows sometimes the same behaviour. I know transcoding. Had the same issue with Plex. Transcoding on Synology is a no-go.
Just asking, why does the Apple TV app requires the in-app purchase and the iOS app doesn't?
What's the reasoning behind the choice, if you don't mind?
If you notice closely, tvhclient for iOS started 6 years ago - there was no TvOS at all. Tvhclient was just a client to manage recordings - you couldn't actually watch streams because the phones at the time were not good enough (battery would die quickly). Also VLC was having issues in the App Store and was being pulled out of it
For 2 years, tvheadend project donated money to pay for the Apple developer account - because the project was open source and it was my contributions to the community. This is why iOS version is and will remain free
(Eventually I've added VLC into it once it became available)
TvOS popped up meanwhile but I didn't want to do it because it was too much work. But everyone pushed me to do it and I've spent 7 months polishing the thing on my spare time. After much consideration my plan was to have the tvOS version paid so I could pay the apple license for years to come to have the iOS version free - and also to pay for dev hardware if there was enough left
I should decrease the price though.. but I never did because it feels unfair for the rest of the people that already paid :/
Anyway, I'm not making any money out of the app, it covers for the App Store license and sometimes some hardware (I got an Apple TV 4K with it lol)
And btw, donations to PayPal were very far and spread - but they didn't even reach 40£ per year, which is half of the Apple developer license. However Apple TV versions picked up the slack very quickly. I've never asked for tvheadend to help with this
And I know that getting apps to the store is not cheap. Also, the tvheadend loan was the missing piece in my "knowledge". Thank you for spending time and developing this app, and sorry if I have been unkind to you.
Another way to help is beta testing. Beta testers have the full app because it's all unlocked for testing...
However I haven't done any new developments lately and I really need to... my dev environment does not help :(
1) is it normal that when i click channels on the top shelf the stream doesn't always open?
2) how much would a Swift HTSP implementation be useful?
2) how much would a Swift HTSP implementation be useful?
1) it should work, if it doesn't then I would need to debug it. Because you say it sometimes does not work, it really means we need to check it further - debug it the problem is on VLC or tvheadend
1) So I should open an issue, right? I'll test the app some more...
2) yes
I do have one question... epg over the air does not work well at all - is that a thing with satip?
Hi Luis!
first of all, thank you for your work, it's great!
I just have a problem with playing HD streams on my Apple TV 4th gen. They're all choppy. If i run same channel on iPad, it's fluent, without any problems. Actually same results is with VLC app (stream works on iPad, but ATV can't handle it for some reasons).
Do you have an idea, why this happen?

try removing the deinterlace, normally that takes huge amounts of cpu power depending on the filter used
I just bought TVHClient for Apple TV and i would like to ask a few questions about it
you there?
i'm using tvheadend to parse my Enigma2 list as IPTV and access from Apple TV.
i want to ask you 2 things:
1 - Do you know how to show picons in TVHClient?
2 - How to load EPG from IPTV list to Apple TV?
