h1. Clients
Tvheadend provides a HTTP streaming mechanism that can be used in conjunction with many different media players. However several clients also include support for the [[HTSP]] protocol that Tvheadend uses for both streaming and control, these give a much richer experience.
Below you will find a list of a few that we are aware of, there may be more!
h2. "Movian":https://movian.tv/
Movian (formerly Showtime) was the original Tvheadend client, written by the original Tvheadend author, [[Andreas]]. It is still one of the best clients for interacting with Tvheadend.
h2. "Kodi":http://kodi.tv
With the integration of PVR functionality into Kodi (formerly XBMC), this has now become possibly the most popular Tvheadend client. Indeed much of the recent development of [[HTSP]] has been focused on improving integration with Kodi (XBMC).
h2. "TVHClient":https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tvheadend.tvhclient
An Android app, written by Robert Siebert, that can be used to control Tvheadend.
h2. [[Tvhguide|TVHGuide]]

h2. [[Pidvbip|pidvbip]]
This is a dedicated Tvheadend client, written by [[Dave|Dave Chapman]], specifically for the raspberry pi. It aims to create a very simple, intuitive user interface similar to that you might expect of any off the shelf STB.
h2. [[Vlchtsp|VLC HTSP Plugin]]
This VLC plugin integrates [[HTSP]] support, thus allowing a richer interface within VLC and thus turning it into a stand-alone Tvheadend client.
h2. [[TvhClient|TvhClient]]
