Widgets

Widgets put extra information and quick navigation right on your screen — either as overlays on the playback view or as boxes on the home screen. Widgets are fully customizable: scale, background opacity, and which ones appear are all under your control.

Adding Widgets

• On the playback screen — right-click the background or stream → Add Widget, then pick from the available widget types.
• On the home screen — use the Widgets menu (it auto-hides when a stream is playing; right-click the home screen to reopen it during Live TV playback).
• The Active Widgets panel shows what’s currently enabled, with one-click removal, and an Add Widget section for adding more.

Widget Types

Live Sports Scores

Displays live scores for ongoing matches along the top of the overlay. Click a score to view detailed match information, or right-click to hide specific matches. Available in two modes:

• Persistent — remains visible when the UI overlay auto-hides.
• Autohide — hides alongside the UI overlay.

The Sports widget must be enabled (via the right-click context menu) before its overlay settings apply.

Live Games Sidebar

The sports Live Games Sidebar — a tab on the right edge of the main screen listing every live game with a count, scores, and one-tap access to streams. Can be removed from the Active Widgets panel. See the Sports guide for details.

Recent Channels

Shows recently watched channels along with their currently airing programme. Click any entry to switch to that channel. The number of entries is configurable (e.g. Recent 5 or 10).

Favorites

Displays your favorite channels with their current programmes for one-click switching — a favorites rail right on the overlay.

Custom Group Widget

Displays channels and their currently airing programmes from a selected custom group, enabling quick channel switching directly from the overlay.

What’s Next Widget

Shows the next scheduled programme on the current channel — handy for deciding whether to stay tuned or switch.

Widget Overlay Visibility

Toggle whether the LiveTV Guide widget and the Player Media Bar widget appear on their respective views.

Customizing Widgets

Under Settings → Live TV → Widgets & Scales:

• Widget Scale — scales the entire widget box and text (default 100%), with quick presets.
• Background Opacity — how transparent the widget box background is; lower values are more see-through.
• Live preview — see the current scale and opacity applied to a sample widget as you adjust.
• Sports Scores Overlay — separate controls for the scores bar: Overlay Scale (height of the bar) and its gradient background opacity.

Tip

Widgets scale with your UI — if you change the application UI scale, widget sizing follows along, so a scale preset of 100% is the right baseline for most setups.
