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

Or by hand:

  • .deb: Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and newer and the systems built on them. sudo apt install ./bgpvr-player-linux-1.9.6.3-9-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 1.9.6.3-9 (the Android app's 1.9.6.3):

  • The quick menu, the new Live controls with skip, and ★ Favourite, as on Android.
  • Full keyboard use in the normal layout (Tab, arrows, Enter, Esc).
  • One .deb for Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and newer: it brings its own libmpv and FFmpeg (LGPL builds) in /opt/bgpvr-player.
  • The source of those libraries is published next to every release.

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; --tv starts the TV layout. Not in the Linux app: casting, recording to the device, picture-in-picture, push messages.
