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-1.9.5.1-4-x86_64.deb.
  • AppImage: other 64-bit Linux with glibc 2.35 or newer, Ubuntu 24.04 and later too. chmod +x it and open it.
  • Check: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing.

New in 1.9.5.1-4 (the Android app's 1.9.5.1):

  • The player menu: Quick, Audio, Subtitles and Video tabs.
  • Subtitles: size (up to Extra large), colour, background, edge, bold and font (Sans, Big, Serif, Mono, Round,
    Narrow); Find subtitles and the subtitle delay for films.
  • Back works in steps: the first Esc closes what is open, the next one leaves the player.
  • Films and series: start in Original, HLS or Light 720p; shared watch state, next episode and Continue watching
    episodes.
  • Family member and Kids-locked devices.

Video on the graphics card with the CPU as the automatic fallback, as in 1.9.4-3 (BGPVR_SW_VIDEO=1 forces the
CPU). Keys: Esc = Back, F11 = full screen; --tv starts the TV layout. Not in the Linux app: casting, recording to
the device, picture-in-picture, push messages and the TV's own frame-rate switching.
