Remedia
Watching
Live TV
If your Jellyfin server has Live TV, it arrives when you sign in. You can also add a source of your own.
Where the channels come from
- Your Jellyfin server's Live TV needs nothing more. A Live TV row appears in the sidebar.
- A source of your own is added in Settings, Live TV, Live TV Sources, Add Live TV Source.
Remedia provides no channels of its own.
Adding a source
| Kind | What it asks for |
|---|---|
| Dispatcharr | Server address. A username and password, and a channel profile, are optional. |
| Tvheadend | Server address. A username and password are optional. |
| Threadfin | Server address. |
| Xtream Codes | The server address, username and password from your provider. |
| Playlist URL | An M3U playlist link, and optionally a guide link. |
Add Source checks the connection first, and tells you why if it does not work. Each source can be refreshed or removed from its own page.
Two ways to look at it
- What's On, the default, is rows of cards: recently watched, your favourites, what is on now, what starts soon, and then by genre.
- Guide lists every channel against the time.
Choose the one Live TV opens on in Settings, Live TV, Default Layout. You can also hold Select on the sidebar's Live TV row and pick one.
Select a channel to watch it full screen.
While watching
| Press | What happens |
|---|---|
| Play/Pause | Pauses live TV. Playing again picks up where you paused, behind live. |
| Left or Right | Skips back, or ahead again, within what has been kept since you tuned in. |
| Select or Up | Shows the controls. |
| Back | Closes one thing at a time, then leaves the channel. |
To change channel, open the Channels pane under the progress bar. A remote with channel buttons steps through channels directly.
The round buttons are Multiview, Record when your source can record, Go to Live when you are behind, Subtitles and Audio.
When you go back from a channel it keeps playing in a corner of the guide. Select it to return to full screen. This is Keep Playing in Guide in Settings, Live TV.
Multiview
Watch up to four channels at once. Start it from the player's Multiview button, or hold Select on a channel and choose Watch in Multiview. The sound follows the channel in focus.
Leaving multiview asks first, so one press cannot end every stream. That is Confirm Exit Multiview in Settings, Live TV.
Favourites
Hold Select on a channel and choose Add to Favorites. Set their order in Settings, Live TV, Favorites.
Recording
With a source that can record, hold Select on a programme that has not ended to Record it. A series also offers Record Series and Record New Episodes. A scheduled recording can be cancelled the same way.
On a Jellyfin server, recording is offered to accounts allowed to manage Live TV.
