On the TV
TiviBro works with the standard LG remote and the Magic Remote. With the Magic Remote you can also point, click and scroll on every screen. A legend at the bottom of each screen always tells you what the buttons do right there.
| Button | In the guide | Watching fullscreen |
|---|---|---|
| OK | First OK previews in the window, second goes fullscreen | (fixed: watch) |
| Hold OK | Programme and channel options | Options menu |
| Red | Programme and channel options | Options menu |
| Info | Programme and channel options | Options menu |
| Hold Info | Buffer info: how many seconds are banked and, when the player reports it, the stream's speed. No Info button (most Magic Remotes): OK, then Stream info | |
| ▲ ▼ | Move between channels | (fixed) |
| ◀ ▶ | Move through time (◀ on "now" opens the groups) | ◀ rewind or last channel, ▶ info |
| CH + / CH − | Page up and down | (fixed) |
| ⏪ ⏩ | Jump through time, into the past on catch-up channels | Skip in catch-up and movies |
| ▶ Play / ❙❙ Pause | Watch the previewed channel fullscreen | Play only plays and Pause only pauses; a single Play/Pause button switches between them. Live TV can be paused too. |
| Green | Channel list | Channels screen |
| Yellow | Groups | Groups |
| Blue | Settings | Settings |
| Back | Back to now, then the groups | (fixed) |
| 0 to 9 | Jump to a channel number (at once when no longer number starts with what you typed, otherwise after a short pause) | Jump to a channel number, the same way |
A few things work the way you would guess from other TV apps:
- Channel lists wrap around: ▲ on the first channel goes to the last. Holding an arrow stops at the end instead of flying past it. Group lists don't wrap.
- ▲ at the top of a list never opens the menu by surprise. ◀ or Back does.
- Leaving TiviBro: press Back until the groups show on the home screen; it says Press Back again to exit, and one more Back closes the app. The first screen works the same way.
- In a confirmation ("Delete this playlist?"), Cancel is selected first, so a stray OK never deletes anything.
- With the Magic Remote, clicking outside a pop-up closes it, clicking the progress bar in a movie or catch-up jumps there, and on Settings rows you can click the ‹ › arrows to change a value.
Buttons can be remapped under Settings > Remote control, including keys TiviBro does not know yet (Learn a button). Button tester shows what the TV sends for each key. Every button, its default and the actions you can give it are listed in Settings: Remote control.
