Getting around

The remote

Key	What it does
Arrows	Move.
OK	Select.
▶ Play	A movie, episode (card, row or sources) or channel: plays the top source at once.
Hold OK	An item's own menu, where it has one: Hold OK for more shows in the bottom-right corner then.
BACK	Back. On a main page (Home's tabs, Discover, Search, Settings) it goes to the top menu first (DOWN comes back to where you were); from the menu, to the page before, or Exit StremioK? on Home (OK exits, BACK stays).
0–9	The top menu's items (see below); in the player, the subtitles' timing, position and size; on a live channel, a channel number.
UP / DOWN in the player	The quick bar / the menu (While it plays).
Red / Green / Yellow / Blue in the player	Audio tracks / subtitles / sources / stream info.
CH+ / CH−	The next / previous channel while one plays.
Guide	The Guide tab (instead of the TV's own guide).

Number keys outside the player (not while typing) pick the top menu's items, left to right: 1 Watching, then the rest in the menu's order (Settings › Home › Menu); 0 Settings. With Watching, Movies, Series and IPTV showing, 5 is Discover and 6 Search.

The top menu

The tabs, Discover, Search and Settings ⚙, then the StremioK name. UP from a page reaches it. When they don't all fit, the menu scrolls sideways as you move along it (or pick an item by number); the StremioK name stays put.

Lists you put in order

In Settings, a list you order (addons, playlists, YouTube catalogs, Home feeds, Search results, source ranking) has ▲ / ▼ to move an item one place and ⇈ / ⇊ to move it to the top or the bottom.

Hold OK on a poster

On a movie or series poster anywhere (Home, Discover, Search, More like this, a person's titles…): Details, Add to / Remove from Continue Watching, Mark watched / unwatched (a whole series at once) and, with Trakt connected, Rate on Trakt (1 to 10, as Trakt words them, Weak Sauce to Totally Ninja!; Your rating: 8 · change once rated, and Remove rating).

A watched mark (from here, a title page or the player) ticks every card of that title on screen (✓). A series is ticked once every episode out so far is watched, marked whole or episode by episode; a new episode coming out takes the tick away. Settings › Appearance › Watched titles dims them, or hides them from rows.

Typing, or sending from your phone

Text fields use the TV's on-screen keyboard. Where StremioK asks for a link or search words, ▣ From your phone shows a QR code instead: scan it with a phone on the same Wi-Fi as the TV and type or paste into the page it opens. Search words are searched as soon as they arrive; a link fills the field, for you to check and Confirm. It's offered in Search (▣ From phone), ▶ Play a link, Add addon, Add playlist, a playlist's Edit link, Import configuration file, a YouTube catalog's source and AIOManager's address and key.

The page travels unencrypted (plain HTTP) over your home network, so use it only on a network you trust: addon and playlist links often carry your tokens or passwords (the page and the TV both say so). It exists only while the QR code is on screen, behind a one-time code, and takes one entry (see Privacy and data).
