WalisTV Player Settings: Aspect Ratio, Speed, Audio and Subtitles
The WalisTV player settings are one button away. The player looks simple, but it has useful options. This guide explains each one: how to fill your screen without black bars, watch faster or slower, change the audio language, turn on subtitles, resume a movie where you stopped, and keep your favorite channels close.
How to open Player Settings
- With a TV remote: press the Menu button (three lines or dots) while a video is playing. You can also press OK or Up to show the controls and select the Settings (gear) button.
- On Windows: move the mouse over the video and click the gear button.
The Player Settings panel opens on the side. Press Back (or Esc on a keyboard) to close it.
Aspect Ratio: Fit, Fill or Stretch
Videos do not always have the same shape (aspect ratio) as your screen. Choose how the picture uses the screen:
| Option | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Fit | Shows the whole picture. You may see black bars. | Movies, and when nothing must be cut off |
| Fill | Fills the whole screen and cuts a little at the edges. | Removing black bars on live channels |
| Stretch | Fills the screen by stretching the picture. Shapes can look wider or taller. | Old 4:3 content you prefer full screen |
Volume
In the player settings, use + and − to change the WalisTV volume in steps of 10%. This is separate from your TV volume, so it is useful when one channel is much louder or quieter than the others.
Playback Speed
For movies and series you can choose 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x. Slower speeds help with fast dialogue or learning content. Faster speeds are great for courses and long recordings. The current speed appears in the controls with a Reset 1x button.
Audio Track
Some movies and channels include several audio languages (for example Arabic, French and English) or an audio description track. Choose the one you want in Audio Track. If you see No additional audio tracks available, the stream has only one audio track.
Subtitles
When a video includes subtitles, select the language in Subtitles, or turn them off. Subtitles and audio tracks appear only when the stream provides them: they come from the source, not from WalisTV.
Start from the beginning
WalisTV remembers where you stopped in movies and series and continues from there next time. If you want to watch from the start instead, open Player Settings and select Start this title from the beginning.
Continue Watching
The home screen shows a Continue Watching row with what you watched recently: live channels, movies and series. Select an item to go straight back to it. The big card at the top has a Resume button for the last title.
Favorites
While watching, select the star (Favorite) button in the controls to add the channel or title to your favorites. Favorites appear in their own row on the home screen. Select the star again to remove it.
Open the last channel at startup
Want WalisTV to work like a classic TV? In Settings, turn on Open last channel at startup. Next time you open the app, it starts directly on the channel or title you watched last.
Remote control shortcuts while watching
- Live channels: Left/Right or Channel Up/Down change the channel, Down opens the channel list, OK shows the controls.
- Movies and series: Left/Right go back or forward 10 seconds, Rewind/Fast Forward move 30 seconds, OK plays or pauses.
- Back: hides the controls, then leaves fullscreen.
The complete list is in the remote control guide.
