About TimeslotTV
TimeslotTV is personal media software that organizes your video, audio, and image files into a simulated television experience — complete with numbered channels, a live-style program guide, and authentic TV controls.
Note: TimeslotTV does not include, stream, broadcast, provide, host, share, or distribute content. All playback comes from local files on your own computer.
Content plays continuously and in sync, like a real broadcast: when you change channels you join the stream mid-program rather than starting from the beginning. Each channel keeps its own running timeline, so your station keeps up the simulated broadcast whether you're watching or not. Don't worry, you can still skip forward and back if needed.
Turn your media library into a TV station
Point the Channel Scanner at your media folders and it builds out channels based on your existing folder structure. You can then view and fine-tune your lineup using the live Program Guide. See something you like in the guide but that isn't currently playing? No problem — drag the timeline or skip directly to any media block.
Controller Options
Navigate the media player with keyboard & mouse, gamepad, touch, or IR remote control, depending on your setup.
Effects Mode
Add screen curvature, scanlines, black & white, and other live filters.
PIN Lock
Lock the app on startup or lock individual channels behind a 6-digit PIN, with an optional "scrambled signal" effect.
Mini-Games
Adjust rabbit ears and VHS tracking settings using your gamepad.
Audio Player
Turn music folders into their own stations, with track info and an optional spectrum visualizer.
Photo Slideshow
Turn images into slideshow channels, with configurable duration, order, and transition effects.
