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 1.9.6.5-11.

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

  • Films, series, recordings and catch-up: a cleaner two-row bar. Top row: From the start and Subtitles & audio. Bottom row: back, play/pause, forward and the time bar.
  • 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.
  • Live TV: one row of buttons (Stop, or back / play-pause / forward on channels you can pause), Subtitles & audio, Record and More. When you have paused or gone back, "2:30 behind · Go live" takes you back to live.
  • The channel list and the guide open from their own keys; favourites are set in the channel list.

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: casting, recording to the device, picture-in-picture, push messages.

Български: BGPVR Player за Linux 1.9.6.5-11: по-простите плейъри. Филми, сериали, записи и наваксване: по-чиста лента на два реда („От началото“, „Субтитри и звук“, назад, пауза, напред) и едно меню „Субтитри и звук“ с четири полета: субтитри (и изтегляне), вид на субтитрите, звук и качество на видеото. 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. Изходният код на LGPL библиотеките е в bgpvr-player-linux-1.9.6.5-11-lgpl-sources.tar.
