Use Portico on a television

Install the Portico app for the television or streaming device, sign in, and choose an authorized server.

TV apps use the same account and server permissions as the web and mobile apps, but their navigation is designed for a remote. Keep focus on a visible control and use the Back button to close menus or return to the prior level.

Television hardware varies widely in codec, subtitle, audio, HDR, and network support. Portico requests direct play when the device can handle the source and a compatible stream when it cannot.

For repeated playback problems on one television, compare the same item on another client and review the active playback decision on the server.
