@bgpvr bgpvr released this 10 Nov 10:55

BGPVR Player for Linux (x86_64). Software only: it shows your own TV provider's service.

Install with apt (recommended, updates come with your system updates): Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and newer, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Zorin OS, elementary OS.

curl -fsSL https://apt.bgpvr.com/bgpvr.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/bgpvr.gpg >/dev/null
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/bgpvr.gpg] https://apt.bgpvr.com stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bgpvr.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install bgpvr-player

Already installed with apt? sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade brings 1.9.9-24.

Or from the Snap Store: sudo snap install bgpvr-player.

Or by hand:

  • .deb: Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and newer and the systems built on them. sudo apt install ./bgpvr-player-linux-1.9.9-24-x86_64.deb.
  • AppImage: other 64-bit Linux with glibc 2.35 or newer. chmod +x it and open it.
  • lgpl-sources.tar: the complete source of the LGPL libraries in this release (FFmpeg 8.1.3, mpv 0.41.0, libplacebo, libdisplay-info, the Ubuntu packages bundled) with the steps to rebuild them and put your own build into the app.
  • Check: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing.

New in 1.9.9-24 (the Android app's 1.9.9; the Linux release before this one was 1.9.6.5-11):

  • Films and series: Skip intro, Skip credits and Next episode.
  • Choose the picture quality, SD, HD or 4K, where your provider offers more than one.
  • Name days, holidays and greetings on Home.
  • Sign in with Google, Apple or an e-mail link, where your provider has them on (the browser opens for the sign-in).
  • Playback fixes and other improvements.

Hardware video decoding uses VA-API; on Intel graphics install intel-media-va-driver. Without it the app decodes on the CPU.
Keys: Esc = Back, F11 = full screen, A / S = audio / subtitles; --tv starts the TV layout. Not in the Linux app: the phone remote, Play on TV and Move to another TV (phones cannot find a Linux computer yet), casting, recording to the device, picture-in-picture, push messages.

Български: BGPVR Player за Linux 1.9.9-24 (версия 1.9.9 на приложението за Android; предишната версия за Linux беше 1.9.6.5-11). Филми и сериали: „Пропусни интрото“, „Пропусни надписите“ и „Следващ епизод“. Избор на качество на картината, SD, HD или 4K, когато доставчикът ви предлага повече от едно. Имени дни, празници и поздрави на началния екран. Вход с Google, Apple или линк по имейл, когато доставчикът ви ги е включил (входът се отваря в браузъра). Поправки във възпроизвеждането и други подобрения. Инсталирайте с apt (командите по-горе) и обновленията идват със системните обновления, или от Snap Store: sudo snap install bgpvr-player; .deb за Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 и по-нови, AppImage за други 64-битови Linux. Няма ги в приложението за Linux: дистанционното от телефона, „Пусни на телевизора“ и „Премести на друг телевизор“ (телефоните още не намират Linux компютър), предаване към Chromecast, запис на устройството, картина в картината, известия. Изходният код на LGPL библиотеките е в bgpvr-player-linux-1.9.9-24-lgpl-sources.tar.

Or by hand:

  • .deb: Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and newer and the systems built on them. sudo apt install ./bgpvr-player-linux-1.9.6.5-11-x86_64.deb.

New in 1.9.6.5-11 (the Android app's 1.9.6.5): simpler players.

  • One Subtitles & audio menu with four boxes: subtitles (including Download subtitles…), how subtitles look (size, style, timing), audio track, and video quality.
  • Subtitles move up while the controls are on screen, so the bar never covers them.

Субтитрите се вдигат над лентата, докато тя се вижда. ТВ на живо: един ред бутони („Субтитри и звук“, „Запис“, „Още“) и „Към живо“, когато сте назад. Инсталирайте с apt (командите по-горе) и обновленията идват със системните обновления; .deb за Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 и по-нови, AppImage за други 64-битови Linux.

@bgpvr bgpvr released this 04 Nov 06:42

Beta of BGPVR Player for Linux (x86_64). Software only: it shows your own TV provider's service.

  • .deb: Ubuntu 22.04, Linux Mint 21, Pop!_OS 22.04. Install with sudo apt install ./bgpvr-player-linux-1.9.5.2-5-x86_64.deb.

picture-in-picture, push messages and the TV's own frame-rate switching. On the .deb's libmpv 0.34 the Round font and the
