Your phone becomes the remote
After pairing (or from Settings, or the phone app’s “Télécommande” pilot), the page turns into a full remote: arrows, OK, back, a keyboard and voice search. A Nipo Premium and Nipo Family feature, already in the app.
Nipo Player does not provide, sell or host any content. Use it with playlists you are legally allowed to access.
A real remote
Arrows, OK, Back, Home: the phone sends the same commands as a physical remote, encrypted the same way as pairing.
“Télécommande” in the phone app
On phone, a “Télécommande” pilot opens the remote directly: scan the QR code shown on the TV, or type its code.
Remembered TVs
Once connected, your phone remembers the TV: one tap reconnects afterwards, as long as Nipo Player stays open on it.
Your phone’s keyboard
When a text field is selected on the TV, type straight from the phone’s keyboard instead of the arrows.
Voice search
Say what you’re looking for into the phone’s microphone; the recognised text is sent to the TV’s search.
Still encrypted
The phone and TV use the same secure connection as QR pairing: nothing readable passes through the relay.
On which devices?
The phone drives Nipo’s menus everywhere. Inside the native Android TV and Fire TV player, it doesn’t drive playback itself.

FAQ
Does it work in the player on Fire TV?
Not in the native Android and Fire TV player: the phone remote drives the menus, not the video playing. On Samsung, LG and computer, yes, including during playback.
Do I need to be on the same Wi-Fi as the TV?
No, it isn’t required: the connection uses the same secure relay as QR pairing. It’s simply faster on your home Wi-Fi.
Is this already in the app?
Yes, as a Nipo Premium and Nipo Family feature. Open it after a QR pairing, from Settings on the TV, or with the phone app’s “Télécommande” pilot.
Does voice search work on every phone?
It depends on the phone’s browser. If the microphone isn’t allowed, a message says so and the rest of the remote keeps working.
How many TVs does my phone remember?
Several: every remembered TV shows up in Settings → Remembered phones, with a “Forget” to remove it.
Never lose the remote again
End-to-end encrypted, already in the app.
