Controls & Navigation
How the remote maps to actions across the home screen, library grids, detail screens, setup screens and the player.

These mappings apply across the home screen, library grids and setup/connection screens.

| OK | Select the highlighted item / confirm. |
| Exit / Back | Close the current screen and go back one level. |
| Red | Cancel / close without saving (setup and dialog screens). |

Item detail screens
Movie, series, season and episode detail screens show a row of contextual action buttons — the exact set depends on the item type and its state:
Play
Shown when the item has no playback progress yet.
Resume / Play from start
Shown together once playback progress exists, with the remaining time displayed on the Resume button.
Versions
Shown when an item has more than one media source, letting you pick which version to play.
Play trailer
Shown when the item has a linked remote trailer.
Watched
Toggles the played/unplayed state on the server.
Favorite
Toggles the favorite state on the server.
Go to series
Shown on episodes — jumps to the parent series' detail screen.
Move between buttons with left/right on the directional pad and press OK to activate the highlighted one.
Playback controls
The player is built on Enigma2's standard movie-player infobar, so the usual playback keys (play/pause, stop, fast-forward, rewind) work as on any other video. On top of that, E2EmbyClient adds:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Play / Pause | Toggle playback. |
| 1 3 4 6 7 9 | Numeric quick-seek, same convention as the standard Enigma2 movie player. |
| Up | Show the chapter/segment list. |
| Down | Show the next-up playlist. |
| Info / EPG | Show the info panel (title, plot, progress) over the video. |
| Audio | Open audio track selection — also lists available subtitle tracks, including embedded and external ones. |
| OK | Select the highlighted chapter or playlist entry. |
Skip Intro
When an item has an intro marker and Show Skip Intro button is enabled (see Configuration), a Skip Intro button appears during the marked segment. Press OK while it's shown to jump past the intro.
Up Next
Near the end of an episode, if Show Up Next screen is enabled, an overlay appears showing the next episode with an autoplay countdown. Use left/right to move between its buttons (e.g. play now / cancel) and OK to confirm, or let the countdown finish to autoplay.
Subtitles & audio tracks
Open the audio selection dialog during playback to switch audio or subtitle tracks. Subtitle files using legacy, non-UTF-8 encodings (Cyrillic, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, etc.) are decoded using the fallback encoding configured under Player Settings.
