Browsing and Downloading Content

Once you have connected to a content provider, you can browse its library, download files, and play them on your TV. The content browser provides a visual grid of folders and files that you navigate with your TV remote.

Before You Begin

The Content Browser​

The content browser displays items in a 3-column grid of cards. Each card shows a thumbnail image and a title. There are two types of items:

  • Folders - Represented by a thumbnail or folder icon. Select a folder to see its contents.
  • Files - Individual media items (videos or images). Video files display a play icon overlay on their thumbnail.

The header at the top of the screen shows the name of the current folder, or the provider name if you are at the root level.

  1. Use the directional pad on your remote to highlight a folder
  2. Press Select to open it
  3. The browser loads the folder's contents, which may be more folders or playable files
  4. Press Back on your remote to go up one level

You can drill as deep as the provider's content structure allows. The browser keeps track of your folder path so you can navigate back through each level.

Browsing Lessons.church​

The Lessons.church library is organized the same way as its website. At the top level you'll see two folders:

  • Lessons - Drill in by program, then study, then lesson. Each lesson then lists its venues, which are versions of the lesson for a particular age group or setting, such as Preschool or Elementary. Select a venue to open the download screen for that version of the lesson
  • Add-Ons - Extra videos and resources, grouped by category

Press Back at any level to go up one step.

Downloading and Playing Content​

When you select a folder that contains playable files (or select an individual file), FreePlay shows the content title with a cover image and two choices:

  • Download - Save every file to the TV first, so playback doesn't depend on Wi-Fi. A progress bar fills as each file is saved. When it's done, the Start button appears with a play icon. Press Select to begin playback
  • Stream - Start playing right away over the internet without saving the files

Download lessons before Sunday morning while your building has a strong internet connection. Once downloaded, the content plays offline, and if you play it again later it loads instantly without downloading again.

Managing Downloads​

Open Settings at the bottom of the sidebar, then select Downloads to see everything saved on this TV:

  • Select a download to play it
  • Highlight a download and select the delete icon in its corner to remove it and free up storage

If the screen says No downloads yet, nothing has been saved to this TV.

Playing Provider Content​

Use these controls during playback:

  • Right arrow - Next item
  • Left arrow - Previous item
  • Select / Play-Pause - Pause or resume video
  • Up arrow - Open the message selector to jump to a specific item
  • Back - Exit to the content browser

When you exit the player, you return to the content browser at the root level of the current provider.

Switching Between Providers​

Connected providers appear as items under the Browse heading in the sidebar on the left. To switch to a different provider:

  1. Press the Left arrow on your remote to expand the sidebar
  2. Select the provider you want to browse
  3. The content browser refreshes with that provider's library

If a folder shows "No content available," the provider does not have any items at that level. Try navigating to a different folder or checking back later.
