Tano is an open-source cross-platform IP TV player. It features full IP TV playback with EPG and recorder. Project started because of a need of a simple IP TV player on Linux providing EPG. Now after more than one year of development, Tano is getting more and more stable and feature complete.

Tano is free (libre) software. This means that the application source code is available to public, anyone is welcome to research how the application works, participate in its development, freely distribute the application and spread the word!

Tano runs on Linux and Windows, other operating systems are currently not supported.

Advanced Info and Controls panel

Info panel provides playlist with category filters and search. On the other tab there is EPG information for four days in advance.

Controls panel provides main controls for playback, volume management and seek ability for non-live media. Main feature is Info bar with current and next show info. Clicking on the link opens a dialog with more information about current show. Controls panel also functions as OSD in fullscreen.

Recorder with timers support

If you don't have time to watch certain show or there are two shows at the same time, you can record with Tano. An integrated recorder with timers can help you with that. Recorder also supports plugins, so you can write your own plugin to use with your favorite recorder application.

Playlists and EPG

Tano uses modified m3u format to make available additional media information. Using integrated playlist editor you can freely edit and customise playlists. Since latest version it is now available to scan for channels and Tano automatically adds new channels.

EPG is one of the main functions of Tano. Downloading from internet, it provides informations about current shows and also schedules for four days in advance. Plugin support enables you to write your own plugin for your provider or country.

You can also use schedule independent from playback.
