Re: blocked content when paused

You need to state what channel you're watching. Different channels/apps have different functionality. In some cases the info display you're referring to can be removed with the Back button, but on others that will simply exit the playback. Some support pressing the down button. But without knowing what app/channel you're using we can only make guesses.

Re: blocked content when paused

If you want to reduce the info ribbon during a pause or make it disappear faster, you can try these general tips:

  1. Quickly Resume Play: Press play as soon as possible after pausing to minimize the time the info is displayed.

  2. Adjust Settings: If the platform allows, go to settings and look for options like "On-Screen Display" or "Notifications" to reduce or disable what appears during pauses.

  3. Toggle Minimal View: On some media players, using a minimal or full-screen mode can reduce or eliminate the info ribbon.

    I hope this will help 🙂
