Settings opens on one dashboard with all topics available together. Select a card such as TV sources, Video & audio or Appearance & theme to open its settings directly. Each card explains what it contains. Wide screens fit more cards across; smaller screens stack them into fewer columns.
Search all settings looks across every topic. Type a setting name or a problem such as “no sound”, or use the microphone. Search opens the matching setting and expands its Advanced section when needed. Use Back or Back to settings to return to the dashboard or search results; your search text and return position are kept while you visit a page. Clear search shows all topics again.
Left also goes back a level. Inside a settings page, pressing left when there is nothing further left to move to returns you to where you came from, so you never have to scroll back to the top to find Back to settings. Controls that use left themselves — sliders, text boxes and rows of choices — keep it, so the page only steps back once the highlight has nowhere else to go.
Each setting has its own background and a gap before the next one. On wider screens the name sits on the left and the current choice on the right; smaller screens put the choice directly below its name in the same row. On/Off settings use a switch. Press OK to change a switch or open a list with the current choice selected.
Pages start with optional explanations hidden. Select Show help at the top to reveal them inside the setting they describe; Hide help returns to the shorter view. Status messages, requirements and warnings stay visible. Back to settings and the help control remain visible while you scroll. Open Advanced when you need the extra options.
Management dialogs use the same item borders and rounded backgrounds as Settings, with consistent spacing. Look for Show help beside optional instructions in source setup, Stremio addons, movie and show filters, app shortcuts and recording times. The help control uses the same labels and selected appearance as Settings. Hide help collapses the instructions again; errors, requirements and consent remain visible.
Manual recording timers separate the date, repeat days, start time and end time. Schedule, Cancel and any validation error stay below the scrolling form. Diagnostics and the player's Remote controls guide have Page up and Page down buttons for reading with a remote.
| Topic | What lives there |
|---|---|
| TV sources | A dashboard showing which TV source is active and reachable; switch, update, edit or remove one from its Manage sheet; add another source, update all, set the automatic update timer, sync across TVs, and manage Stremio addons and debrid. |
| Account & Premium | A plan dashboard with the next useful action, change email and refresh; device slots; profiles; and a separate Account safety section for sign-out. |
| Sync & backup | Cloud sync, Cloud Backup, playlist sync, and the portable backup file — every “where is my stuff kept” answer in one place. |
| Parental & Kids | Enable parental controls or open Kids Mode first; PIN rules and protected areas appear only after controls and a PIN are ready. |
| Channels & groups | Manage the visible groups and channels first; restoring, bulk renaming and duplicate cleanup live under List cleanup & refresh. |
| TV guide | TV guide sources, a guide-only Update TV guide, matching and troubleshooting; retention and clearing downloaded guide data are under Advanced. |
| Movies & shows | Category management, filters and the two refresh actions; restore and bulk category-name cleanup are folded under Category cleanup. |
| Recordings | Turn recording on first; storage, retention, Series Links and scheduling options appear only when recording is enabled. |
| Video & audio | Picture quality, aspect ratio, Use less data, sound and language — with decoders, Dolby Vision and passthrough under Advanced. See chapter 16. |
| Subtitles & captions | How subtitles look, and where they come from when a stream carries none — including online search and live transcription. |
| Streaming & reliability | Buffer size, auto reconnect, resume and autoplay — with zapping delay, timeshift and the external player under Advanced. |
| Appearance & theme | Colour theme, interface density, movie/show poster size, horizontal-or-sidebar library navigation, channel logos, clock format and global favourites; logo priority and overscan under Advanced. |
| Menu & sections | Reorder the menu, choose the default screen for Live TV, Movies and Shows, use one of your custom Live TV folders or one of your TV service’s own groups as the cold-start screen, then switch sections on or off from a two-column dashboard; options that depend on Sports or Reminders appear only when those sections are on. |
| Remote & buttons | Button behaviour, shortcut keys, the Back button, seeking keys and sounds; the sleep timer is one Stop playback after choice rather than a row of separate buttons. |
| This device | Setup checklist, start-up behaviour, privacy and crash reporting, and updates; user agent and HTTP proxy under Advanced. |
| Help & diagnostics | Two clear starting points — self diagnostics and recent activity — plus one quick health check and the Discord support hub; logs and export are under Technical details. |
| Storage & reset | Free space, safe cache cleanup, data health and installed-app review; watch history and resetting preferences are together under Start again. |
| About | Version and build number, Check for updates, release channel, device, licences and the Discord community. The update action is the first focusable row in About. |
Moved in this release. A few things now live somewhere more obvious. Turning Recording on is on the Recordings card next to where recordings are saved. Kids Mode & screen time is on Parental & Kids beside the PIN that unlocks it. The switches that decide which sections appear in the menu are all on Menu & sections, next to the control that reorders them. Cloud Backup and the backup file are together on Sync & backup. If you can’t find something, type it into the search box — that always knows where it went.
Announcements show a short preview of longer messages; choose Read full message for the rest. An update announcement with Open update settings takes you straight to the update controls. Other links open directly on a touch device or show a QR code on TV.
