MediathekView 14.4.0 released — new features and improved macOS support

MediathekView, the open‑source downloader for German public broadcaster media libraries, has reached version 14.4.0. The update includes a set of technical improvements and several new functions — many of which were implemented with current macOS users in mind.

Mac users will still find two distinct application variants available: one optimized for Intel‑based Macs and another compiled for Apple Silicon (M‑series) processors. These separate builds aim to improve compatibility and performance depending on your Mac’s hardware.

Highlights

• Version bump to 14.4.0 with under‑the‑hood technical updates.
• New macOS‑focused functions and refinements to better support recent system versions.
• Two native builds for Intel and Apple Silicon to optimize performance on both architectures.

As with any open‑source project, the changelog and download links are the best place to confirm exact fixes and feature details. If you rely on MediathekView for scheduled downloads or library access, check the release notes before upgrading to ensure compatibility with your workflows.

To get the update or learn more, visit the MediathekView project page (opens in a new tab): mediathekview.de or consult the project’s repository for installers and source code.

Discussion: Do you use MediathekView on macOS — and will you switch to the Apple Silicon build if you have an M‑series Mac? What improvements would you like to see in future releases?
