What's New in TvhClient

5.1.1

October 15, 2026

Fixed pausing live TV flooding the server with requests; resuming now continues where you paused. Fixed the previous channel's picture showing when starting something new with mpv, and no picture after turning audio-only on and off. The guide no longer misses programme data when the channel list is replaced. With an HTSP server, the stream profile you pick is now used, and the HTTP profiles are offered too, marked "(http)". A recording action that fails now shows a message saying what failed and why; removing a recording with no ID no longer crashes. Recordings and Status stay up to date when the server is reconnected. Server auto-discovery, the server list in Settings, the player and the Now tab use less battery and memory. New setting: Logo Contrast Backdrop, to turn off the dark/light background drawn behind some channel logos.

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.
