MediathekView
MediathekView is a desktop app for searching public broadcaster media libraries and playing or downloading available TV and video programs.
What is MediathekView?
MediathekView is a media library search and download app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It helps users find programs from public broadcaster online media libraries in one place instead of browsing each broadcaster site separately. On Mac, users commonly use it to search broadcasts, filter results, stream videos in an external player such as VLC, or download available episodes for offline viewing. The app also supports subscriptions for series and recurring programs, which is useful for people who regularly follow news, documentaries, or other broadcaster content. MediathekView is published by Christian Franzke and is primarily aimed at users who want a focused desktop tool for managing broadcaster video listings and downloads.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
MediathekView is legitimate desktop software for searching and downloading broadcaster video listings. Network access is expected because the app retrieves program lists and opens or downloads streaming media. It may interact with an external media player for playback, which is normal for this type of tool. Keep downloads to trusted locations and review storage use if you save many videos.
Recommendation: Keep MediathekView if you use it to browse, stream, or download programs from supported broadcaster media libraries. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app and optionally clean up its support files to recover space without affecting macOS itself.
