Pick your server from the ones found on your network, sign in or approve a Quick Connect code, and Home picks up right where you left off. WATCH • Your files play as they are: MKV, DTS, TrueHD, Dolby Digital and PGS subtitles, with no conversion on the server. • Auto quality plays your downloaded copy first, then the original file, and steps down only when a connection struggles. Pick a quality in the player to keep it. • Watch upright or sideways, with audio, subtitles, quality and Up Next one tap away. • On iPhone Duo, fold the phone halfway and the film plays on the top half with the controls, Up Next and the TV guide below. • Skip intro and credits, an Up Next card with autoplay, and a sleep timer. • Audio and subtitle choices remembered for each series, and a forced-only subtitle setting. • Picture in Picture, AirPlay, lock screen controls, SharePlay, and Handoff to your iPad or Mac. LISTEN • Music and Audiobooks tabs appear whenever your server has those libraries. • Stations built from what you play, with a mix you tune yourself: twenty points to spend on familiar, favourites, discovery and more. • Surprise Me, a shuffle that learns from what you finish and what you skip. • Top songs, new music, and lyrics that follow along. • Song Info on any song: its tags, your plays and the file's format. • Playlists you can create, reorder and edit, plus smart playlists built from rules. • Audiobooks with chapters, playback speed, 15- and 30-second skips, and your place saved to the server. • Gapless playback and a mini player on every screen.
