Android device controls and startup
Use the controls supported by your Android host device.
Android controls
- Open Set up screens → All screens and expand Device controls on the device card.
- Supported controls include wake, player brightness, volume, orientation and startup. Greyed-out controls need privileges or device support that are not currently available.
- Play above other apps requires local overlay approval. Dedicated kiosk requires Device Owner provisioning; Device Administrator alone is insufficient.
- Player 0.12.1 adds recovery for managed kiosk playback. Installing an APK cannot grant Device Owner automatically.
- TV panel power and HDMI-CEC depend on both devices and manufacturer APIs. Brightness may affect the player output rather than the TV panel itself.
