Small window on Android phone

Channels DVR Server Feature Requests
#1

I can do it on the mobile browser, but not the Android app. Is that something that can be added to the app?

#3

For a phone?

The Channels app will respond to the "P" key being pressed, regardless of the platform. If your phone does not have a physical keyboard, you might be able to use something like Button Mapper to send the keycode.

Alternatively, have you looked into how Android handles windowing apps? I know there is also a system setting that needs to be enabled (it might be in the developer menu) to allow windowing.

The point is, Channels supports it natively; it is up to your device to implement PiP and expose that functionality.

You tube, Spectrum, Netflix, Hulu all have that function

#6

Have you enabled PiP support for Channels in the Android system settings?

#7

Yes. I've tried beta alpha and the regular app

#8

In the latest beta, there is now a pip button in the phone/tablet player UI (next to the closed caption button).

#9

I'm on 102.3.140 and I only see a globe next to CC

#10

Try with 102.07.0006

#11

Does it work?

#12

Yes, thanks
