Edit channels from a phone or PC

#Before opening the editor

Keep the phone/computer and TV on the same trusted home network. Avoid guest Wi-Fi, client isolation or a VPN that blocks LAN access. The feature requires server authorisation and the appropriate app access. Do not open router ports for it.

#Approve and pair

Open Settings → Library & content → Playlist → Manage channels from phone / PC.

1. If one-time owner approval appears, scan that approval QR and sign in with the account already linked to the TV. Compare the displayed security fingerprint before approving.
2. Once the local address and pairing code appear, open that address or scan the local QR on your phone.
3. Enter the pairing code if requested, and approve the browser connection on the TV.
4. Keep the editor dialog open while using the browser. Closing it stops access; sessions have a limited lifetime.

#Groups first, then channels

Choose a playlist/group to narrow the channel list. Search within the available channels, use multi-selection for bulk actions, and create a custom group or add to favourites. Custom groups can mix channels from different playlists. Use channel display-name editing for your own label; it does not rename the channel at your provider.

#Order, save and check

Use drag handles or the editor’s move controls to reorder groups and channels. Apply the offered save/confirm action and check the TV after the change. Do not assume unsaved edits survived closing the session. Provider refreshes are separate from your local presentation choices.

#Address or authorisation problems

A 10.0.2.x address shown in an emulator is often its private virtual network, not an address your phone can reach. BlueStacks testing needs a deliberate host-to-emulator port forward; normal TVs should show a reachable LAN address. Do not publish a temporary emulator address as a universal setup instruction. For authorisation or too-many-attempts errors, stop retrying, check the official app/account and wait for the indicated cooldown. Do not disable server verification as a workaround.
