Portrait mode

If your feed is set to Portrait orientation, the physical remote is held horizontally but the navigation mapping stays the same:
  • Swipe in the direction of the content flow (LightLoop remaps focus navigation to match the rotated layout)

​
Using the Siri Remote for text entry

When entering your server URL or Feed ID on the setup screen, you can:
  • Use the on-screen keyboard with remote swipes
  • Hold the microphone button and dictate (e.g., “h t t p s colon slash slash screens dot myorg dot workers dot dev”)
For the Feed ID, voice dictation works well — just say each character: “alpha bravo one two charlie delta.”
For full control from your iPhone or iPad, use the LightLoop Remote app — a dedicated iOS companion app built for LightLoop. Unlike the Siri Remote, LightLoop Remote gives you:
  • A live playlist browser — browse and trigger any item from any playlist without touching the Apple TV
  • A live 16:9 preview — see exactly what’s on the Apple TV screen on your phone
  • Stage Mode — a large-text confidence display for worship leaders and speakers
  • Multi-device sessions — connect a phone and an iPad simultaneously for combined operator + stage display setups

Third-party remotes

LightLoop works with any remote that can send standard tvOS navigation and playback commands:
  • Apple TV Remote app (on iPhone/iPad) — full support
  • Universal remotes (via HDMI-CEC) — navigation and play/pause work; touchpad swipe for prev/next item may not be available depending on the remote
