Phone, tablet and computer apps: every screen

The apps for phones, tablets and computers share the same screens. Phones show four tabs and More; tablets and computers show everything in a side bar.
The apps on phones, tablets and foldables — Signing in (with a sign-in code when it's on), Home, the details sheet, the account menu, tablets' side menu, and full screen on foldables.

Welcome and sign in

  • Sign in with Silux Media — your account email and password, then a 6-digit sign-in code if your account uses them; the app says whether to check your email, Telegram or authenticator app.
  • Sign in with a code from another device — for a device where typing is awkward.
  • Connect to a server directly — the server's address and a user on that server, no account needed.
  • ⚙ (top right) — Server address, if you were given a different Silux Media address.
  • 🌐 Language — the apps follow your device's language (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch or Portuguese); choose any of them here or in Account → Language, whatever your device is set to.

The tabs

  • Home — Continue watching and Recently added.
  • Films and TV Shows — posters, Play all, Shuffle; seasons and episodes.
  • Music, Photos, Audiobooks and Books.
  • Live TV — channels, guide and recording.
  • Playlists, Folders (browse by folder), My List (favourites) and Downloads.

Details sheet (press and hold, or right-click)

  • Play, Add to playlist, other versions, trailers and extras.
  • Watch together — starts a watch party and gives you a code to share.
  • Add to My List, Download the original, or Download a smaller copy.

The player

  • Tap to show controls; drag the bar to seek. Skip Intro and Skip Credits appear when marked.
  • More (⋯): audio, subtitles, chapters, speed, quality and data saver, sleep timer, versions, watch together.

Account menu (top right)

  • Link a TV — enter the code a TV shows to sign it in.

  • Upload photos & videos — admins upload from the phone to Camera Uploads.

Downloads

Downloaded films, episodes and songs play with no connection. Downloads finish in the background; remove them from the Downloads tab to free space.

Questions

The app shows only four tabs

On phones the rest are under More. Turn the phone sideways or use a tablet to see the side bar.
