IPTuner is designed around a television remote first: the D-pad and a small set of consistent press/hold actions work across the app.
| Control | Typical IPTuner action |
|---|---|
| MENU | Main Navigation. While the app keyboard is open, MENU toggles uppercase/lowercase instead. |
| Hold MENU | Context Actions. |
| OK | Open/select; Playback Controls in full-screen playback. |
| Hold OK | Secondary action such as Favorite/Watchlist where available. |
| BACK | Close the current overlay/screen using the navigation stack. |
| Hold BACK | Clean app exit. |
| Dedicated media/Guide/Search/Settings keys | Used when the device reports those keys. |
On-screen keyboard
Settings > General > On-screen keyboard chooses between IPTuner’s TV-focused App Keyboard and the Fire OS/system keyboard. With App Keyboard, navigate with the D-pad and OK; MENU changes case while the keyboard is open.
How do I open Main Navigation?
Press MENU. Main Navigation contains Live TV, Guide, Recordings, Shows, Movies, Search, Settings, and Exit.
How do I open Context Actions?
Hold MENU on the current screen or focused item.
How do I exit IPTuner cleanly?
Hold BACK or choose Exit from Main Navigation. Both use the same clean app-exit teardown.
How do I add a Live TV channel to Favorites?
In full-screen Live TV, Hold OK toggles Favorite for the current channel. In the Guide, Hold OK toggles Favorite for the focused channel.
Where is my recent channel History?
From full-screen Live TV, use the logical START/LEFT action to open the Live TV quick menu. Its modes include History and Favorites.
Can I jump the Guide timeline by a day?
When the remote exposes FF/REW media buttons, IPTuner can use them to jump the Guide timeline by a day.
How do I add a Movie or Show to Watchlist?
Hold OK on a supported focused Movie or Show to add or remove it from Watchlist.
Can I use the Fire OS/system keyboard instead of IPTuner’s keyboard?
Yes. Settings > General > On-screen keyboard lets you choose between the TV-focused App Keyboard and the Fire OS/system keyboard.
Why does a dedicated remote button behave differently on another device?
Dedicated Play/Pause, REW, FF, Channel Up/Down, Guide, Search, and Settings actions are used when the remote and Android device report those keys. Hardware key availability varies.
