WalisTV Remote Control Guide

Last updated: · By the WalisTV Support Team

WalisTV is designed for the TV remote control, so you never need a mouse or a keyboard on your TV. Every screen can be used with the arrows, OK and Back. This guide explains what each button does in lists, during live channels and during movies and series. Button names can differ a little between TV brands.

WalisTV remote control navigation on the home screen

Remote control basics

  • Arrows (Up, Down, Left, Right): move the highlight. The selected item always has a clear frame.
  • OK / Select: open or play the highlighted item.
  • Back: go back one step. On the home screen, Back closes the app.

In category and channel lists

  • Up and Down: move through the list.
  • Hold Up or Down: scroll quickly through long lists.
  • Left: go to the categories.
  • Right: go to the channel list or the movie and series grid.
  • OK: play the item. Press OK again on the channel that is playing to open it in fullscreen.

While watching live channels

  • Left and Right: previous or next channel.
  • Channel Up and Channel Down: change channel, if your remote control has these buttons.
  • Down: open the channel list without stopping the video.
  • OK: show or hide the controls.

While watching movies and series

  • Left and Right: go back or forward 10 seconds.
  • Rewind and Fast Forward: move 30 seconds, if your remote control has these buttons.
  • OK or Play/Pause: play or pause.
  • Up: show the on-screen controls (rewind, forward, speed, settings).

Other remote control buttons

  • Menu (three lines or dots): open Player Settings while watching: aspect ratio, audio, subtitles and speed.
  • Play/Pause: play or pause at any time.
  • Back: hide the controls, then leave fullscreen.

Search with the remote control

Move to the search box and press OK. The TV keyboard opens: type a few letters, then press Back or Down to return to the results. Search works for categories and channels.

Using a phone as a remote control

If your TV remote is lost or broken, the free Google TV app on your phone can work as a virtual remote for Android TV and Google TV. See Google TV Help for setup.

On Windows

On a PC, the keyboard works like a remote control: arrows to move, Enter for OK and Esc for Back. You can also click with the mouse. See WalisTV on Windows.

Tips for using the remote control every day

  • Add channels to your Favorites with the star button in the controls: they appear on the home screen.
  • Turn on Open last channel at startup in Settings to start like a classic TV.
  • Lost the remote control? Most TVs also work with a phone app from the TV brand.
  • Fire TV remote? It works the same way: see WalisTV on Fire TV.

Remote control troubleshooting

The remote does not respond

Change the batteries first. Bluetooth remotes sometimes lose their pairing: on Android TV open Settings > Remotes & Accessories and pair it again.

My remote has no Channel or Menu button

That is normal on small remotes. Use Left and Right to change channel, and Up then the gear button to open Player Settings.

A button opens another app

Some TV brands assign shortcut buttons (for example a streaming service). Those buttons are controlled by the TV, not by WalisTV.

Navigation feels slow

Restart the TV to free memory, and keep some storage free. Long lists scroll faster when you hold Up or Down.

Important: WalisTV is a media player only. It does not provide channels, playlists, subscriptions, movies, series, or streaming content. Use only playlists from sources you are legally authorized to use.
