TvhClient is a full client for your TVHeadend server: watch live TV, rewind it, browse the guide, and manage your recordings from your iPhone or iPad.
WATCH
• Live TV with a built-in player: pause and rewind live TV with timeshift, see the programme under the playhead, and switch channels without leaving the player
• Choose your playback engine, VLCKit 4 or mpv, separately for live TV and recordings. Both deinterlace.
• Picture in Picture, background audio, a draggable mini player, and a statistics overlay
• Pick audio and subtitle tracks. TvhClient remembers them per channel, and remembers where you stopped in a recording.
• Transcoding profiles, and an audio-only mode that picks a suitable profile for you
• Connects over HTSP (timeshift, instant updates) or the HTTP API. TvhClient works out which one your network supports.
BROWSE
• Channel groups, channels with now/next and progress, and each channel's programmes by day
• "Now" shows what is on across all channels, with search and filters by group and channel
• EPG now standard in iPhone, and you can rotate to landscape
RECORD
• Record with one tap, or create and edit recordings and AutoRec rules in editors built from your server's own settings
• Upcoming, Completed, Failed, Removed and AutoRec lists, with folders
• Play recordings with seeking, straight from the list
ADMINISTER
• Status: subscriptions, tuner inputs, networks, muxes and services
• The live server log, and the app's own diagnostics
EVERYWHERE
• Siri and Shortcuts: "Play BBC One in TvhClient", "What's on now?", "Record this"
• Spotlight search for channels, recordings and programmes
• Widgets and a Live Activity for recordings
• CarPlay audio, for listening to your channels in the car
• Optional iCloud storage for your servers, and sync of track choices and resume positions with the Apple TV app
• Several servers, with Bonjour discovery. A server can name a public address to fall back on when you're away from home.
• A redesigned interface for iOS 26, with a Help section in Settings. It also runs on Apple Silicon Macs as an iPad app.
Works with tvheadend 3.2 and up. Transcoding needs tvheadend 4.x profiles. HTSP timeshift needs timeshift enabled on the server.
Also available for Apple TV. Your audio and subtitle choices and recording resume positions sync between them.

This app has always been very reliable. Fast to load streams, customizable as far as stream settings go for those of us who like to tinker, but still easy enough to use as to not require it. I just wish they would chose a color to use on the top bar instead of having everything just white, it would make the app look a little more interesting.
Totally different apps on AppleTV vs iPhone

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.
Thank you for this awesome app.
