The library home

What it is for

The home screen lays your titles out in rows so you find something to watch without hunting for a file name, with a band at the top featuring a few of them.

How to use it

Open something

1. Rest the pointer on a card for a quick preview.
2. Click the card to open the title.
3. Copy a video into a library folder — it appears on its own, about ten seconds later.

Choose the featured band

1. Open Settings › Interface (Interface), under Featured background.
2. Pick a design: Title artwork, Feathered artwork or Carousel use each title’s wide image; Gradient, Feathered poster or Poster in a glow use its poster.
3. Click Save.

Good to know

• Recently played shows one card per title — a series stays on the episode you’re partway through, then moves to the next one.
• Albums have their own row, New music, with square covers; Recently added holds films and series.
• A design with wide images shows only once every title in the band has one; until then the band uses its poster version.
• The featured band is on the home screen only — a category or source page starts with its rows.
• After a moment the band plays a clip — TRAILER or PREVIEW says which. Its × stops it, and no clip plays there again until Kaveo restarts.
