Can I control the AppleTV app with a third-party remote control (Harmony, Samsung, etc.) and if so, how?

Yes, this is possible. Before using your third-party remote control with Teleboy, a short setup is required.

How to set it up

1Open Settings

Go to Remote Control and Devices in the settings and select Learn Remote Control.

2Configure navigation buttons

Follow the learning steps. In the first part, configure the standard buttons for general navigation of the Apple TV interface.

3Configure playback buttons

In the second part, configure the playback buttons (play, pause, skip) required for the Teleboy player.

4Open Teleboy

Exit the settings and open the Teleboy app. Your remote control is now ready to use.

ℹ Control buttons

Play/Pause/Stop pause and resume the video. "Skip" buttons change the channel. Holding the button fast-forwards at a constant speed.

⚠ Note for Harmony users

Do not pre-configure the Logitech Harmony as an Apple TV remote – playback buttons cannot be learned this way. Instead, set it up as a normal TV or Samsung TV remote, then follow the learning instructions.

⚠ Note for Samsung TV remotes

Some Samsung remote models automatically send a signal when the rewind button is pressed, ending the function. If rewinding doesn't work properly after setup, reassign the function to a different button.
