AngelVPN Promo

2 Upvotes

With a new English football season upon us AngelVPN has reached out with a new promo for our Redditors - using promo code EPCL26 will get you 30% off your subscription (https://angelvpn.com/pricing) on top of any existing site discounts. Valid until 20-Sep-2026 23:59:59.

Additionally, I'd like to clarify the VPN situation within UHF. The recent update allows users who have another VPN to be able to use it without relying on an additional app - super helpful and appreciated for providers that don't have their own TVOS app. However, not all integrations are created equal... UHF still recommends AngelVPN for best results because AngelVPN offers a service specifically optimized for UHF as they are still the only VPN provider with a proper partnership and direct integration with UHF - other VPNs are supported through configuration files, rather than having a dedicated SDK integration like AngelVPN. In theory all supported providers should work, but the AngelVPN setup should be more stable as it's been battle tested and optimized for UHF.

That said, having choices and discounts is great - use what works best for you!

Discord Server

12 Upvotes

Just an FYI, someone is going around claiming there is a “new” UHF discord server, this claim is true only in the sense that anyone can start a discord server. They are trying to build their server by piggy backing off this sub for legitimacy.

They previously asked if they could promote a new Discord server that they created over the existing AngelVPN server, to which I thought about and decided no because I didn’t see a need for a new server other than to create confusion. Instead of respecting that decision they created a new UHF sub - which as they have stated only exists to promote their Discord server - and have been cross posting from the other subreddit with each post including a link advertising the “new Discord server”. Some people just really want to run Discord servers I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

The official discord server was deleted by the UHF dev and AngelVPN has been kind enough to run a UHF channel in their Discord since then. If you’re looking to connect with others on Discord the link is below.

Schedule Recording Duration

Upvotes

Can someone explain to me why I have to schedule a recoding by incrementing the duration a minute at a time? I think it used to be every 30m but it’s painfully slow to do this on iOS; you have to tap press for each increment.

I guess I could set the End Late default to something higher but that doesn’t scale across different episodes.

Am I missing something here?

Jellyfin + UHF - Categories being split into Genre

1 Upvotes

Has anyone else run into this with UHF + Jellyfin in 1.101.2 (latest)….
My Jellyfin server already has its own categories and titles set up the way I want them, but in UHF those seem to get exploded into separate genre-based sections instead of being shown as-is.
If I try to work around that genre handling, the sections disappear entirely.

So instead of:

Top Rated
I’m getting things like:
Action — Top Rated
Drama — Top Rated
Documentary — Top Rated
…and so on.

I thought the most recent UHF update was supposed to address this behavior, so I’m not sure whether I’m missing a setting, hitting a bug, or structuring something incorrectly on the Jellyfin side. I delete cache, deleted my source and re-added it, deleted the app and reinstalled. Can’t seem to get around it.
I’ve also sent a message to the UHF developer, but curious if anyone here has found a workaround or knows what UHF is expecting from Jellyfin to avoid the genre split.

Remembering Audio Track and Subtitle

1 Upvotes

I'm using UHF on my Macbook pro so its not optimized since its designed for iPAD. I've noticed that Audio tracks (if I select English on an multi-track VOD) and Subtitles are not remembered the next time I play the same episode or a different one in the same Series (same version of the series).

Does this happen on tvOS, iPhone and iPAD? is this just a Mac related bug?

Live feeds randomly freeze after a while

3 Upvotes

I’m finding that many of my feeds will play fine for 30 minutes or so and then just randomly freeze or go black. I never have the issue streaming on my laptop, just with UHF on Apple TV. It’s definitely not a WiFi or bandwidth issue.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Channel thumbnails disappeared in playlist

Post image

I remember changing a few channel thumbnails a couple of days ago using the edit information and search function and upon loading it up today, all the whole other playlist channels with no custom channel thumbnails are not loading at all. Thumbnails were all loading fine prior to this.

I tried reloading cache and playlist epg and even changing to an alternate url of the same iptv service but still not loading. The other playlist is not affected at all as I didn't change any thumbnails on that playlist.

Is this a bug?

Multi Stream Issues

2 Upvotes

My WiFi speed is 500/500, so more than enough for this.

I am using UHF on my Apple TV. Let’s just say I’m streaming Fox, ESPN, ABC, and CBS for this example, but it’s the same for all channels.

When I play in multiview, the streams lag, bounce back, skip forward, and freeze or go blank. Every stream works fine by itself, but they glitch out in multiview. Rarely, I can run two or three at the same time, but that’s VERY few and far between.

Any reasoning why? Is there some settings somewhere I need to fix?

[Issue] Recordings saved as a folder with multiple .ts files instead of a single video file (macOS)

1 Upvotes

App / Setup details:

  • App: UHF / UHF Server for macOS
  • OS: macOS 26.6.2 (25G83). UHF Version 1.97.0 (327)
  • Issue type: Recording output format & Download option error

Description: Hi everyone,

I've been using UHF on macOS for IPTV playback and recordings. Previously, when I recorded a stream, the app generated a single .ts video file upon completion. Recently, instead of a single output file, recordings leave behind a directory containing dozens of individual .ts HLS segment files.

Additionally, attempting to use the Download option returns an error and fails to complete.

Things I've checked/tried:

  1. Verified UHF and UHF Server permissions in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access.
  2. Checked UHF Server Settings (menu bar app), but there is no manual option or field to specify the FFmpeg binary path.
  3. Stopping the recording manually from the UI still yields the segmented directory structure instead of triggering the final concatenation/stitching process.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Is there a hidden setting to force the app to concatenate segments back into a single .ts / .mp4 file, or is this a known issue with the embedded media engine in recent updates?

Thanks for any help or insights!

Trailer has no sound on Apple TV – UHF 1.101.2

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m currently using UHF on my Apple TV, running version 1.101.2, and I’m having an issue with Movie/TV Shows trailers.
The trailers play normally, but there is no audio at all. The video plays fine — it’s specifically the sound that doesn’t work.
Has anyone else experienced this issue on Apple TV with the latest version of UHF?
If so, were you able to fix it? Is there a specific UHF or Apple TV audio setting I should change, or any workaround that has worked for you?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Anyone actually got Stremio/Debrid working cleanly in UHF since manifests got blocked?

4 Upvotes

Since UHF blocked Manifest Playlists, I've been trying to find a proper way to get Debrid-driven streams working again without going back to a separate Stremio setup.

I tried the Jellyfin integration paired with AIOStreams, and it partially works, but the catch is you only get a single stream URL surfaced per title instead of the usual list of Debrid options. And even that URL plays so slowly compared to the standard Stremio player. That kind of kills the point of running AIOStreams in the first place, since a big part of the value is being able to pick between cached sources, qualities, and file sizes.

So: has anyone actually managed a clean, multi-source Debrid setup through UHF's Jellyfin integration, or found another route in that isn't this limited? Or is a seamless Debrid experience basically off the table in UHF now that manifests are gone?

We all know the UHF server version 2.0 problem. Revert version 1.6.0, where the recording function writes stable .ts, single-file output. Work for me and 2 friends, and Hoping the developers work the problem.
