The **suchen.tv** widget highlights German public media libraries first, then paid flatrate, rent or buy. Ideal if your site cares about **kostenlos streamen** and legal free options – not only subscription logos. #### Why blogs install it * **Mediathek-first:** Free offers are surfaced before subscriptions * Live DE availability – no stale “where to stream” paragraphs * Block editor + shortcodes – insert under a review in seconds * After activation a published page **Kostenlose Mediathek** is created (search, categories, top films, leaving soon) * Optional **Redaktionstipps:** your curated lists, live offers from suchen.tv * Light theme by default, Schema.org Offers, lazy iframe – blog-friendly & DSGVO- aware #### Redaktionstipps – your lists, live free + paid offers Build curated movie lists under **suchen.tv Listen**. Embed them as Redaktionstipps; readers still see Mediathek-first availability where it exists. * Max. 10 lists × 20 titles each * Search & add titles in the admin UI * Block **suchen.tv Redaktionstipps** or `[suchentv_picks list="meine-horror"]` * Only titles with posters; offers update automatically #### Features * Blocks: Streaming Widget, Listen-Widget, **Startseite**, **Redaktionstipps** * Shortcodes: `[suchentv]`, `[suchentv_hub]`, `[suchentv_list]`, `[suchentv_picks]` * Layouts: compact / standard / detail / card * Themes: light (default) / dark * Schema.org JSON-LD (Movie/TVSeries + Offers) * Lazy-Load iframe, auto height, oEmbed, block patterns * Partner ID, optional consent notice, Site Health check * Optional: hide suchen.tv branding (readers stay on the blog) * Admin guide: **suchen.tv Anleitung** * Updates: new ZIP from suchen.tv/embed, or wordpress.org once listed (no self- update ping) #### External service * HTTPS iframes from suchen.tv (`/widget/stream-box`, `/widget/list-box`, `/widget/ picks`, `/widget/hub`) * Editor search via WP REST proxy * Optional Schema fetch to suchen.tv API (cached 12h) * Privacy: https://suchen.tv/datenschutz · https://suchen.tv/impressum · https:// suchen.tv/embed #### Trademarks This plugin is **not affiliated** with Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Joyn, ARD, ZDF, Arte or other providers.

Install & activate. A published page **Kostenlose Mediathek** is created. The WordPress homepage and menus are not changed. Optionally tick “use as homepage” under suchen. tv Settings. 2. Open **suchen.tv Anleitung** for the click-by-click guide (H1, category blurbs, editorial lists). 3. Optional: add the page to a menu, or embed extra widgets with `/suchen` / `[suchentv id="550"]`. 4. Optional: **suchen.tv Listen** – default list “Redaktionstipps” is created automatically; tick “show on homepage”. ## FAQ ### Does the plugin create a page? Yes. On activation it publishes **Kostenlose Mediathek** (search + live rails, Mediathek first). Homepage and menus stay yours. Optionally tick “Als WordPress-Homepage verwenden”. Draft the page under suchen.tv Settings. ### Where do I edit the homepage headline? **suchen.tv Einstellungen** (H1, intro, description per category). Some block themes hide page content on the front page – that is expected. ### Does it show free Mediathek offers? Yes. Free / Mediathek offers are prioritized in the widget when available for the title in Germany. Paid flatrate, rent and buy follow. ### Can I show my own film recommendations? Yes. A default list **Redaktionstipps** is created on first visit. Add more lists under suchen.tv Listen, tick “Auf Startseite zeigen”, or embed with the Redaktionstipps block / `[suchentv_picks]` on a **normal** page (not the hub homepage). ### Does the plugin work offline without suchen.tv? No. Widget content is provided by suchen.tv as a documented third-party service. ### How do plugin updates work? Download a new ZIP from https://suchen.tv/embed or, once listed, update via wordpress. org. The plugin does not ping suchen.tv for updates (required for Plugin Check / directory review). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “suchen.tv Streaming Widget” is open source software.
