Headent Client 1.0.4 released

Headent Client 1.0.4 is out — the release that adds recording. Until now the app could only play back recordings that already existed on your Tvheadend server, and that was the biggest gap left. You can now schedule and cancel a recording f...

About

Headent Client is a free, open-source (MIT) native client for Tvheadend — the open-source TV streaming server for Linux. Written in Kotlin Multiplatform with Jetpack Compose and using libVLC for playback, it runs on Android phones, tablets and on Android TV / set-top boxes with a remote. 

Features

 
  • Live TV with EPG (TV guide)
  • Recordings (DVR) and catch-up
  • Radio, picons and Picture-in-Picture
  • Quick channel zapping and a parental lock
  • A UI built for both touch and D-pad remotes

What it stands for

 
  • Open and independent — full source on GitHub under the MIT license. Not affiliated with the Tvheadend project.
  • Privacy first — no ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics. The app talks only to your own Tvheadend server; credentials stay on your device.
  • No media content — it plays only what you already have access to on your own server.

Support

 
Donations are voluntary and help cover ongoing development and running costs. The app stays free, with no paid features and no rewards in return — funds are used only for project-related activities.
