Player controls
While a video plays, one bar holds everything you need: where you are, what’s next, and the audio, subtitles and chapters of what you’re watching.
Show and hide the controls
Section titled “Show and hide the controls”- Press Up, Down or OK to show the controls. The video keeps playing.
- Press Back to hide them. They also hide by themselves when you stop pressing buttons, unless the video is paused.
- Press Play at any time to pause or resume, with or without the controls on screen.
What the controls show
Section titled “What the controls show”- The title of what’s playing, with its logo when your server has one.
- How far in you are, how much is left and when it Ends at. Hide Clock hides the end time.
The buttons
Section titled “The buttons”Move along the row with Left and Right, and press OK to select. A button shows only when it applies to what’s playing:
- Previous and next: go to the previous or next item in your queue. They’re grayed out when there is none.
- Play and pause.
- Version: switch between the versions of a video that has more than one.
- Audio: switch to another audio track.
- Subtitles: turn subtitles on or off, or pick another track.
- Chapters: open the video’s chapter list.
- LIVE: on a live channel, go back to the live broadcast. See Live TV and recordings.
When the row doesn’t fit on screen, the last buttons move into a More menu.
Two more buttons sit at the right of the bar. The gear lowers the quality for this video, and the info button opens Playback Info. See Watch in original quality.
With the controls hidden, press Left, Right, Fast Forward or Rewind to seek. When your server has the images, you see preview pictures as you go.
