Bowerbird 1.8 Frontend for iOS and tvOS is out

Anu P

Hi all i have just released Bowerbird 1.8 for iOS and tvOS. I am more actively updating this client again. I expect frequent releases. If you use it please let me know how it works for you. This is a completely free client intended to be used by non technical users. If you like it please rate it on apple's store.

Additions in the latest release:
- Added recording management from guide
- Added viewing and editing auto recordings, scheduled recordings and failed recordings
- You can view channels from the guide even when there is no guide data
- Improved performance and fixed some crashes

Sorry a bit late, but just bought an apple TV device and trying to use my tvheadend server from BowerBird.

Looking a ngrep logs it seems Bowerbird always requests matroska, any why to get it to use webtv-h264-aac-matroska instead? Or

is it something sent from tvheadend that makes BowerBird request matroska?

Thanks

I just hardcoded it but can add a setting screen to allow selection in the version I am preparing for release

Thank you, that would be great!

Hi, thank you for the app. I have two comments:
1. looking at the logs I see is requesting profile=pass --> allowing to change that will help (in my case) significantly.
2. the column, on the left, that is showing the channel name, in my case is not useful because many channels are starting with the same 5 characters. If you could reduce the font and allow two or three rows (separated per row by SPACE from the channel name) would make the channel name more readable for me.
Thank you.
