## FAQ

### How can I use a different video player / use a player with custom options?

Televido supports any video player that is [DBus activatable](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s08.html) and supports opening https:// URIs via the `org.freedesktop.Application.Open` DBus method.

To use a custom player, create a flatpak permission override to allow it to access the player. E.g.

```
flatpak override --user de.k_bo.Televido --talk-name=org.example.VideoPlayer
```

and set the video player in the preferences.

If you want to use program that doesn't support DBus activation, you can create a wrapper script. See [d-k-bo/dbus-activatable-wrapper](https://github.com/d-k-bo/dbus-activatable-wrapper).

### Could you add support for TV channels from other countries?

Since this project is basically a client for [MediathekView](https://mediathekviewweb.de/), it's limited to the channels supported by them. The upstream project is focused on German content and is developed in German, so I doubt that there are any plans for non-German content.
ORF (Austrian TV) & SRF (Swiss TV) are supported though.
