Link a TV with a code

Typing passwords with a remote is painful, so TVs sign in with a short code that you approve from your phone.
Sign in and link a TV — Create the admin account, sign in on a phone or computer, and sign a TV in with a code approved from the phone.

On the TV

  1. 1Open Silux Media and choose Sign in with Silux Media.
  2. 2The TV shows an 8-character code such as ABCD-EFGH and waits.

On your phone

  1. 1Open the Silux Media app (signed in to your account).
  2. 2Tap the Account menu (person icon) → Link a TV.
  3. 3Type the code shown on the TV and tap Approve.
  4. 4The TV signs in by itself within a few seconds and opens your server.

Using the remote

  • Arrows move between tiles and buttons; OK selects
  • Back closes the player or goes back a screen
  • Play/Pause and the media keys control playback
  • Long-press OK (or the Menu key) on a title for its menu

Samsung and LG TVs

The Samsung and LG apps sign in the same way, then open your server's TV mode. You can also enter a server's address on the TV (Enter a server address) or set a different account server under Settings.
