• Live TV channel browsing, tuning, and favorites

Downloads & Offline

• Download movies, shows, and music for offline playback[^dl]
• Background queue with pause / resume

• Offline browsing with watch state sync-back on reconnect

Watch Together

• Synchronized playback with friends
• Real-time play / pause / seek sync
• Host handoff when the relay and every connected peer support safe transfers
• Automatic reconnect authenticates retained room membership; it never silently joins a reused room code.

Self-hosted relays must support authenticatedResume for recovery. Deploy the updated relay before updating clients. Older relays still accept explicit create/join, but failed recovery requires joining or creating a room again.
