Couchside · TV Remote

Help & contact

The app can't find my player

Make sure your iPhone and the TV or streaming stick are on the same Wi‑Fi network (not a guest network) and that the player is switched on. Check that Couchside may use the local network: iPhone Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network › Couchside. You can also type the player's address: on the TV open Settings › Network › About.

Buttons don't do anything

On the TV open Settings › System › Advanced system settings › Control by mobile apps › Network access and choose Default or Permissive.

Volume keys are missing

They show for Roku TVs. Streaming sticks can only change TV volume through HDMI‑CEC; turn on "Volume keys for streaming sticks" in the Devices tab if your TV supports it.

Voice doesn't hear me

Allow Microphone and Speech Recognition for Couchside in iPhone Settings. Hold the button while you speak, then let go.

Try it without a TV

Devices tab › + › Try the demo player. The demo runs entirely inside the app.
