About

MediathekView searches the online media libraries of German public broadcasting stations (ARD, ZDF, Arte, 3Sat, SWR, BR, MDR, NDR, WDR, HR, RBB, ORF, SRF) and lists available shows and movies. It supports filtering this list for specific broadcasts, and allows viewing and downloading videos. It also enables subscriptions and automatically downloads new episodes.

Viewing videos requires the "org.videolan.VLC" flatpak.
