About HearthWire TV: PC Movies
HearthWire TV shows what is already on the computers in your home. No uploading, no
cloud, no subscription, no accounts. Press play, and the film streams straight from
your computer to your television.
REQUIRES A COMPUTER
This app is the television half of HearthWire. You need a Windows or Mac computer on
the same Wi-Fi running the HearthWire app, with a folder shared. Get it at
hearth-software.com.
WHAT IT DOES
. Browse the shared folders on every computer in the house
. Films and series with their own artwork, sorted, searchable
. Series understood properly: seasons, episodes, and the next one starts by itself
. Subtitles found beside the film, including Hebrew, in the right encoding
. Photos on the big screen
. Messages from the computers appear on the television, even during a film
. Opens instantly the second time: a library you visited is remembered
HOW IT PLAYS
HearthWire TV is not a player. It hands the film to a real video player on your
television, VLC or Kodi, both free, which is why nearly every format simply works.
The app helps you install one and knows which one your television gets along with.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything stays inside your home. Traffic between your computers and the television
is encrypted, a television only joins after someone approves it on the computer, and
we collect nothing at all. No adverts, no tracking, no telemetry.
ONE PURCHASE
Buy it once. No subscription.
What’s new
Version 1.0.6 · Updated August 6, 2026
Watching a Mac now runs at full speed. On some televisions it was showing every second frame, which looked like a stutter that was not really there. The picture no longer stops for good. If it ever does stop, the television now says so, and says whether the computer went quiet or the trouble is on this end. Big frames, the kind a full screen of text produces, are handled properly instead of being dropped.
