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. + ## License Copyright (C) 2023 David Cabot
