A quick tour of the Home screen, search, and playback — everything you need to actually watch something.
01
The Home Screen
Everything lives in the sidebar on the left. Scroll up or down on it to move between sections; the row of posters on the right updates to match whatever's highlighted.
The Home screen — sidebar on the left, trending & new titles on the right
Search
Type to find anything — movies, shows, or actors. See below.
Movies
Trending and newly-added movies, browsable by row.
Genres
Movies sorted into Action, Comedy, Horror, and the rest.
In Theatres
What's currently playing in theatres, if you like to stay current.
Trakt
Your personal lists and watch history, pulled from your Trakt account.
TV Shows / TV Genres
Same idea as Movies and Genres, for series.
Networks
Browse shows by the network or streaming service that made them.
Sports Replay
Jumps straight into full-game replays. See "More" below.
Add-ons
Direct access to Red Light and everything else installed.
02
Searching
Open Search from the sidebar and start typing on the on-screen keyboard. Results update live as you type — no need to press Enter.
Typing "SPIDER" — suggestions above the keyboard, matching titles on the right
1
Type a few letters using the on-screen keyboard.
Use the remote's D-pad to move between keys, and the center/OK button to press one.
2
A row of suggested titles appears above the keyboard as you type.
Navigate up into that row and pick one to auto-complete the search instantly, instead of typing the whole thing out.
3
Results — movies, shows, and even actors — show up on the right as posters.
Search for an actor's name (e.g. "Jason Statham") and you'll get their photo as a result — select it to browse everything they've been in.
4
Navigate right into the results grid, highlight a title, and press OK to select it.
03
Playing Something
Select any movie poster — from Home, a genre list, or search results — and you'll get a simple choice.
Every movie gives you this choice first
Play Movie — starts the search for a streaming source right away. This is what you want almost every time.
Play Trailer — plays the official trailer instead, if you just want a preview.
TV shows work a little differently — selecting one takes you straight into its list of seasons and episodes, no extra choice screen. Pick an episode the same way.
04
Picking a Source
After choosing "Play Movie," Quantum Films searches for available streams and shows you a list. Each one is a different copy of the same movie, and they're not all equal.
A typical source list — quality label, file size, and details for each
Best practice — stick to 5GB or under. Most home internet connections stream a file that size smoothly without buffering. Bigger files (10GB+, usually labeled 4K or REMUX) look sharper on paper, but need a much faster connection to keep up — if something keeps stopping to buffer, that's almost always why. When in doubt, pick the source closest to 5GB rather than the biggest one on the list.
A few more things worth knowing about the list:
SD / 1080P / 4K at the left of each row is the resolution — 1080P is a solid, reliable default.
Sources near the top are generally the best matches — the list is already sorted by quality.
If a source doesn't work or gets stuck loading, press Back and just try the next one down the list.
05
Playback Controls
Once something's playing, your remote controls it directly — no need to navigate a menu first.
Button
What it does
OK / ▶❚❚
Play / Pause. Tap once to pause, tap again to resume.
◀ / ▶ (hold)
Rewind / fast-forward while playing.
Back
Stops the movie and returns you to where you were. This is the main way to stop watching something.
Select / OK (while paused)
Brings up the on-screen scrub bar — press left/right to jump to a specific point, then OK to resume there.
Menu
Opens playback settings — subtitles, audio track, and video info, if your remote has this button.
To fully stop and back out — press Back once to stop playback, then keep pressing it to return to the Home screen. There's no separate "stop" button; Back does it.
06
Trakt, Sports Replay & More
Trakt
Shows your real watch history and personal lists — Recently Watched, In-Progress Episodes, and any custom lists you've made. This is the best place to pick up where you left off.
Sports Replay
A dedicated shortcut that jumps straight into full-game replays — no need to dig through a separate sports app menu.
Everything else — Genres, Networks, TV Shows — works exactly like Movies: browse the row, select a poster, choose what you want, done.
