UI/UX

• the app icon needs some polish (especially the "screen" part looks very basic)

Live view

• Allow removing and reordering live channels #9 (zapp supports this)

Mediathek view

• Better search filtering #10
  • instead of being a "search in" category, the channel should be an additional filter
  • mediathekviewweb api supports this by combining multiple queries
  • Add an option to access prereleased shows #12
• Support saving searches #13

Project management

• find a good release workflow
  • investigate if flatpak-external-data-checker could help here
• work closer with the MediathekView project
• Apply to join GNOME Circle #5

It would be nice if you could mark an item as a favourite.

I'm certainly most interested in implementing "better channel filtering" for now, since that has the largest impact on usability in my opinion. I don't know when I will do it, since I'm also working on other side projects.

I think it would be very helpful to add some suggestions/recommendations to the FAQ on how to actually use Televido in common use cases. It took me quiet some time to figure out how to use it on Kubuntu. I still don't get why it can't play video itself or at least use the most commonly installed VLC player as I'm missing technical expertise.

My bad. It's already there 🤣

Anyway, now I got it and it wasn't too hard ;)

• Use Flathub
• Install Clapper (some suggestions about compatible or recommended video players would be nice!)
• Install Televido

BTW: For me the most valuable point of Televido over other options I found was the overview of the current live program. I know it from Zapp on Android, but I didn't find any Linux app other than Televido providing that, so maybe it's also worth to point that out in the README for marketing purposes ;) I really enjoy Televido, thank you!

UX suggestion: double click to open a live program would also be nice (the play button is quiet small)

I'll look into it!

I would like it if you could turn off the instant searching. I'd rather type out my whole term and hit enter or click a button rather than having every keystroke search something.
