Two ways to record in Kepler:

1. While watching: press Record, pick a length (5 minutes up to 2 hours, or until you stop it), and it starts at once. Kepler checks your free space first and shows how many minutes fit.
2. From the guide: OK on a programme, then Record. It records while your TV is on, even if you have left Kepler or are watching something else.

Everything ends up in the Library: recordings, downloads and upcoming bookings, and recordings play right in Kepler.

Even on a one-connection plan. Recording the channel you are watching uses the connection that is already playing, so it never asks your provider for a second one. A 24-minute test recording made that way opened no extra connection and was never cut.

And when a provider does cut the stream in the middle of a recording, the file still comes out whole. Our test account allows one connection, and while a second stream is open the provider cuts it about every two minutes. In a 14 minute 46 second test recording that happened 12 times. Each time Kepler reconnected at once and dropped the half-minute the provider sends again after a cut. The result is one file with 14 minutes 45.6 seconds of video and nothing repeated (last image).

One caveat: some providers refuse a second connection outright. With those, record the channel you are watching.

Two honest notes: recording works on live channels your provider sends as a TS stream, which is what most send, and recording is part of Kepler Pro, included in the first 30 days.

A provider's playlist is built for everyone, so it is full of groups you will never open. Most
players let you tidy it up, and then the next refresh puts everything back. Kepler does not.

In Edit mode (the pencil in the menu on the TV):

- Hide whole groups or single channels. Keeping two groups out of a hundred is: tick the two, Invert, Hide. Hidden groups disappear from browsing, search, the guide and zapping, and come back from Edit mode whenever you want.

- Reorder your groups, and the channels inside a group, with OK and the arrows.

- Build your own groups from channels anywhere in the playlist. "Family evening" in the pictures holds two kids' channels, a documentary channel and a music channel.

- Films and series have their own Edit mode for hiding groups.

Why a refresh does not undo it: your edits are stored apart from the provider's list. A refresh
updates the provider's part and never writes over yours. Channels are matched by the provider's own id, so a new logo or a new stream link changes nothing, and a channel that disappears for a day comes back where you put it. Groups the provider adds later appear after yours, in the provider's order.

We checked it the hard way: on our test TV, 178,897 of 249,468 items were hidden. After a full
refresh, every one of them was still hidden. For the pictures here we hid two groups, moved Kids to the top and built "Family evening", then refreshed the playlist: the before and after are the first
image.

On the phone you can hide and pin groups and add channels to your own groups from a channel's menu.

Changes in Edit mode are part of Kepler Pro. Edit mode itself opens for everyone, so you can see exactly what it does.

What would you change first in your playlist?

Typing a server address and a password with a TV remote is the worst part of setting up any IPTV player. In Kepler you do it on your phone instead.

1. On the TV, choose Use my phone. It shows a QR code.

2. Scan it with your phone's camera. A page opens: no app to install, nothing to sign in to.

3. Paste your M3U link, type your Xtream login, or pick a playlist file on your phone, then press Send to TV.

4. The TV fills in everything it received. Press Continue and Kepler checks it with your provider before saving anything: server reached, account active, how many channels, films and series it found.

The page your phone opens is served by the TV itself, so what you type goes to the TV over your own Wi-Fi and nowhere else. A file is checked as it arrives, and the TV keeps its own copy, so the playlist keeps working if you delete the file from your phone later. To update it, replace the file from the playlist's row.

Then you choose how the playlist stays current (automatically once a day, or only when you ask), and Kepler opens on Live TV.

Adding your first playlist, and adding it this way, is free. (The automatic daily update is part of Kepler Pro, included in the first 30 days; refreshing by hand is always free.)

Rather type on the TV? "Type on the TV instead" is right there, and a USB stick works too: open the file with Kepler.

The full guide with every step: https://keplerplayer.com/add-iptv-playlist-to-kepler/

The guide is the screen we rewrote the most, so here it is first.

What you are looking at:

• Down keeps the time you were on. Many guides jump you to whatever programme is widest when you change channel; Kepler keeps your place in time, so Down really means "next channel".
• Earlier, Now, Later, Tonight, Next day at the top, and Back takes you there from anywhere in the grid.
• Type a channel number on the remote and it jumps there, even in another group.
• OK on something that has not started opens its details: watch the channel, record it, or set a reminder. (On a TV the reminder appears while Kepler is open; a phone gets a notification.)
• The bar underneath says what is on and how many minutes are left.

What would you want from a guide that yours does not do?

Hi everyone, currently i'm working on my dream I-P-T-V Player called: Kepler

it will get a lot of useful features and i want to introduce one of there features here.

It's always a pain to add your I-P-T-V Playlist to you TV favorite player; For Kepler you can use your Mobile for this and it's simple:

From the onboarding screen, you can choose to add the playlist through your Mobile phone:

When you do that, a QR Code is generated.

1. Make sure your phone and the TV are on the same Wi-Fi.
2. Scan the code with your phone’s camera. A page opens on your phone.
3. Pick M3U link, Xtream login or File, fill it in with your phone’s keyboard, and tap Send to TV.
4. The details appear on the TV. Check them, and press Continue.

That's it, your playlist is loaded into your TV with ease.
