Why PlayTVH

Built for people who already run TVHeadend

Not another IPTV catalog. A native client for the server you host — with the focus and polish a browser tab never gets.

Your data stays home

Channels, EPG, and streams talk to your TVH box. No PlayTVH cloud account for your viewing life.

One purchase

Pay once at $1.99. No subscription, no feature gates, no ads in the guide.

Every screen

Phone chrome, tablet layout, and TV remote focus — the same servers everywhere you watch.

Features

Live, guide, library — without leaving your LAN

Everything you expect from a TVH client, tuned for daily zapping and weekend catch-up.

Live TV & now/next

Searchable channels, tags, logos, and what’s on — then zap with a player that respects your stream profiles and sleep timer.

  • Favorites and tag filters
  • Wi‑Fi vs cellular profiles
  • Scrambled-channel messaging that makes sense

Guide that schedules

Browse and search the EPG, then book one-shots or series timers without opening the TVH web UI.

  • Day navigation on phone and TV
  • Programme detail with record actions
  • Reminders on handheld devices

Library, offline, cast & wake

Play finished recordings, download for travel, cast to Chromecast, or AirPlay where it fits. Wake-on-LAN when the box is asleep.

  • DVR library: finished, upcoming, failed, series
  • Chromecast + share / QR / open in VLC
  • Multi-server with TLS or classic HTTP TVH

Designed around real TVHeadend installs: digest for the API, Basic for streams, stream profiles for the network you’re on, and honest errors when a channel is scrambled.
