Player
Phlix's player covers everything that happens while an item is playing: adaptive and pinned quality selection, audio- and subtitle-track switching, chapter markers, and Picture-in-Picture. The feature detail lives on two pages; this page orients you first.

Where the player runs
The web portal (/app) ships the player described above. Each client — Roku, Tizen, Windows, mobile, and the console — embeds or re-implements parts of this surface; see Clients Overview for what each one supports. Quality rungs themselves are produced by the server: how it encodes them is covered in Hardware Transcoding.
