QMediathekView is an alternative Qt-based front-end for the database maintained by the MediathekView project. It has fewer features than the Java-based original, but should also consume less resources.

The application is licensed under the GPL3+ and depends on the Qt, the SQLite, the LZMA and the Zstd libraries. The default program used to play streams is the VLC media player. The parser and database access layer are written in Rust and require at least version 1.39.0.
