MediathekView is a Java desktop application that searches the online media libraries of German-language public broadcasters (ARD, ZDF, Arte, ORF, SRF, and others), lists found programs, and lets users play or download them. It supports filtering, subscriptions (Abos) for automatic downloads, and playback via VLC or a user-chosen player.

Use cases

  • download shows from German public broadcaster mediatheks
  • watch ARD and ZDF programs offline
  • automatically download new episodes of a series
  • search German TV archives for a topic
  • record streams from 3Sat or Arte
  • play public TV videos in VLC

When to choose

  • you want a GUI to browse and download content from German-language public TV mediatheks
  • you want automatic subscription-based downloads of series
  • you need cross-platform installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux

When to avoid

  • you need content from commercial or non-German-language streaming services
  • you want a lightweight command-line downloader only
  • you need Netflix-style on-demand streaming rather than mediathek archives
