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 from the Snap Store (beta): sudo snap install bgpvr-player --beta.

Or by hand:

  • .deb: Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and newer and the systems built on them. sudo apt install ./bgpvr-player-linux-1.9.6.4-10-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 1.9.6.4-10 (the Android app's 1.9.6.4):

  • Subtitles in films, series, recordings and catch-up show once, and Off means off.
  • Back (Esc) from full-screen Live TV returns to where you opened it: Home or the channel list.
  • With the keyboard, the playing channel is selected when you come back to the channel list.
  • The sign-in screen names your TV provider.

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.

Български: BGPVR Player за Linux 1.9.6.4-10: субтитрите се показват веднъж, а „Изкл.“ ги изключва; „Назад“ (Esc) от ТВ на живо на цял екран връща там, откъдето сте го отворили; с клавиатурата при връщане в списъка е избран каналът, който гледате. 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. Изходният код на LGPL библиотеките е в bgpvr-player-linux-1.9.6.4-10-lgpl-sources.tar.
