dream Player Customer Insights

1. The video isn't much more choppy than on desktop VLC, so any remaining choppiness probably results from weak Raspberry Pi I'm using as server or bad TV signal, and not the app.Been using the free version for awhile now and it's such a great app that I paid for the pro version as it felt right to give the developer some money for their hard workDoesn't work.

2. Paid version so no ads, works as advertised.It works, as opposed to TVHClient, VLC (log in from browser and copy stream link to VLC, that's how I normally use the TVHeadend on Windows and Linux) and a few other apps.

3. App is looking good on both my phone and Fire TV and you almost had me buying the version for FTV but the exceptionally long hitches in the ui, the inability to rewind live TV and the (seemingly) lack of ability to delete recordings means this app isn't yet the replacement for Kodi/tvheadend addon combo yet.

4. So no support for HbbTV / Catch-up services for other regions with similar DVB-T2 broadcast standard.I've had a very good experience using the app.

5. I had assumed that the relevant button would create a program reminder rather than a recording.This works well with Tv headed on network (pi zero2 as server on wifi).

6. Saying that the playback of recordings and live TV works brilliantly and the guide works well... I'll be keeping an eye on thisReally like this app.

7. Offers a support link, but that doesn't work either.works great.

8. I have upgraded to TVHeadend version 4.3 in the hope it will pass-through HbbTV info to this app.

9. Unfortunately HbbTV / Catch-up services is supported only for German broadcasts - according to the developer.

10. This is for both the Android version and the Fire TV version.

11. Edit: as per the developer's comment you can indeed schedule recordings.
