TV & Mobile (Android, Fire TV, Apple TV, iOS) - Kernel Media Server

This native app covers Android TV, Fire TV, Apple TV (tvOS), iOS, and Android phones/tablets. The core experience is the same across platforms; the main difference is how you select things (D-pad on TV, touch on mobile).

Last-channel recall, channel up/down, and number-key channel entry are not available on this app today (they exist on Roku; see Roku).

Live TV

Action	How
Favorite a channel	Long-press a channel (Guide or Channels screen) to open an action sheet with Favorite/Unfavorite, Record, and Cancel.
Record a program	Long-press a program in the Guide (not available from the Channels screen). Only shown for programs that haven’t started yet.
Favorites category	Appears first in the Guide and Channels category tabs once you have any favorites.
Picture-in-picture (PiP) audio	While watching a PiP channel with multiple audio sources, an audio-track button lets you pick which source plays.
Catch up to live	A GO LIVE button appears in the player overlay whenever you’ve rewound behind the live edge.

On-demand (movies & TV)

Action	How
Resume / Start Over	Movie and series detail screens show Resume when you have progress, plus Start Over; otherwise just Play. For a series, Resume picks up the most recently in-progress episode.
Player overlay	Tap/select anywhere on the video to bring it up: Back, skip back 10s, Play/Pause, skip forward 10s, and an Options button. It auto-hides after ~8s (6s on mobile).
Seek	Focus the scrub bar and press Left/Right to jump 10 seconds per press, or drag it on a touchscreen.
Subtitles, audio, playback speed	The Options button opens a menu with three tabs: Subtitles (including Off), Audio, and Speed (0.5x to 2x). Your choice is remembered per video.

Recordings

Long-press a recording: Play/Delete if it’s finished, or Cancel Recording if it’s still scheduled.

Exiting the player

Android’s Back button and the Apple TV Siri Remote’s Menu button both close the Options menu first if it’s open, then exit the player on a second press.
