Remedia
Browsing
Home
Home is built on one idea: fewer choices on screen, but better ones. What you were watching is always within reach.
The sidebar
The sidebar is how you move between places. Move left past the edge of a page, or press Back, to open it. It lists:
- Your name, then Search, Home and Discover.
- Each of your movie and TV libraries.
- Playlists, when your server has video playlists.
- Live TV, when you have it.
- Settings.
To hide a row or change the order, open Settings, Appearance, Sidebar. A Favorites row can be switched on there. A library hidden from the sidebar also loses its rows on Home.
Music and photo libraries are not listed. Remedia is a video app.
The picture at the top
Home opens on a large picture that moves through a handful of titles, each with its own buttons. Moving right past the last button, or left past the first, turns to the next or the previous title.
What it shows is yours to choose in Settings, Appearance, under Home, Hero. Automatic, the default, takes titles from Home's rows. You can pick Continue Watching, Recently Added, your favourites or a playlist instead, mix several, or switch them all off to hide it.
Continue Watching
- The row lists the ten titles you watched last.
- A series appears once, as the episode you watched most recently or the one that comes next.
- Selecting a card resumes it at once.
If you would rather be asked whether to resume or start again, switch on Resume or Restart Prompt in Settings, Playback. To open a title's preview from this row, switch Instant Resume off there.
The other rows
- Networks, under Continue Watching. See Networks.
- Recently Added for each library.
- Rows for your favourite movies, favourite shows and any playlist, if you switch them on.
Choose the rows and their order in Settings, Appearance, Rows. Select a row to show or hide it, and hold Select to move it.
Opening a title
Selecting a movie or show opens a preview of it. From there you can move left and right through the other titles in the row, or move down to its full page: episodes, cast and related titles.
To go straight to the full page, switch on Skip Preview in Settings, Appearance.
The long-press menu
Hold Select on any poster or card for a menu of what you can do with it:
| On | The menu offers |
|---|---|
| A movie | Watch from Beginning, Play Version (when it has several), More Info, Add to Playlist, Mark as Watched or Unwatched, Add to or Remove from Favorites |
| A show | Watch from Beginning, Shuffle, More Info, Add to Playlist, Mark as Watched or Unwatched, Add to or Remove from Favorites |
| An episode | Watch from Beginning, Play Version, More Info, Go to Show, Add to Playlist, Mark as Watched or Unwatched |
A movie in Continue Watching also offers Remove from Continue Watching.
The menu has nothing that deletes a file, and nothing for looking after the server. Those belong in Jellyfin's own dashboard.
