Performed swipes will be recognized along with a haptic feedback. - In the main view the size of the buttons can be adjusted with two-finger-zoom input. - Pressing the button on the bottom right leads to all buttons, which are not available in the main view. - Rearrange functions with Drag&Drop. - Websites can be saved directly in "Weblinks" of Metz Remote with Safari browser sharing option. #EPG - Sync your app with the current available EPG events from TV by clicking on 'sync' button/icon in navigation bar. - In "Settings" you can select a favorite list for your EPG events. - For records outside the TV-network: Register your TV and yourself in advance for Internet-Timer. If you leave the TV-network, clicking on "Record" will lead you automatically to your Internet-Timer account. Your EPG-information is already filled out and you can start the record-planning. - View "Timer overview" shows only timer created with Metz Remote. Overview with created Internet-Timers you can get directly in Internet-Timer web application. #Internet Timer: - Register TV: Home/Menu/Network/Internet services/Internet Timer. - Get Activation code easily: After TV-registration, activation code will be saved automatically during EPG-sync with Metz Remote in your Internet-Timer account. #Station Editor - Synchronizing your modified station table with your TV set overrides its table. It is recommended to create a backup of your station table, using the export functionality of the TV set, to prevent data loss. - Moving stations is triggered by long pressing a station list entry. You can not only move single stations, but multiple selected stations. - Using the additional editing mode (triggered by selecting a station) you can move, remove or rename stations. #Mediaserver To use this feature, activate in your Metz-TV Menu/Network/Local services 'Allow Mediaplayer' and set 'Media Server' to 'Active'. For best possible usage we recommend to update your Metz TV software. *This app uses VLCkit provided by VideoLAN. VLCKit is under the LGPLv2.1 license.
