Tap ♡ on a channel, movie or series (long-press OK on a TV) to save it. The app keeps My List with your account; a browser keeps it locally.

To save a channel, a movie or a series in AromaOtt Player, tap the ♡ next to it, or long-press OK on a TV. It goes to My List, and saved channels also appear under Favourites in Live TV. In the Android app, My List is saved with your account and is the same on all your app devices; in the web player, it stays in that browser.

What can I save?

  • Channels from Live TV.
  • Movies.
  • Series (the whole series, not single episodes; the series remembers which episodes you watched anyway).

There is no need to save something to resume it: movies and episodes you started are in Continue watching on their own.

How do I add or remove an item?

On a phone, tablet or computer:

  1. Find the channel, movie or series.
  2. Tap the ♡, or Add to My List in the title's details. It changes to In My List.
  3. Tap again (Remove from My List) to take it out.

On a TV with a remote:

  1. Move to the channel, movie or series.
  2. Long-press OK.
  3. Long-press OK again to remove it.

Where do I find what I saved?

  • My List gathers everything you saved. When it is empty, it explains how to add something.
  • In Live TV, saved channels have their own Favourites row at the top, so your usual channels are one step away.
  • In the web player's channel filters you can choose Only My List to see only saved channels.

What if a saved item disappears?

My List remembers items of your playlists; it does not keep a copy of them. If a channel or title is no longer in the active playlist, because the provider removed it or because you switched to another playlist, it cannot be played from My List. Switch back to the playlist it came from, or remove the item and save the new one.

Why is My List different on my phone and in my browser?

Because they keep it in different places:

Where My List is kept Shared with
Android app (phone, tablet, TV) With your account All your app devices
Web player In that browser's storage on your device Nobody: only that browser

So My List in the app follows you from your phone to your TV, while the list in a browser stays in that browser and is not sent to us. If you clear the browser's data, its list is cleared too.

What happens to My List when I sign out?

In the app, My List stays with your account: sign in again on any app device and it is there. The app's local copy on the device is deleted when you sign out and fetched again at the next sign-in.

In a browser, My List stays in that browser's storage until you clear it.

How do I keep My List useful?

A short list is faster than a long one, especially with a remote:

  1. Save the channels you open every day, not every channel you might watch one day.
  2. Remove series you have finished; the series still remembers what you watched if you come back to it.
  3. For anything else, use the searches in Live TV, Movies and Series, which are often quicker than scrolling.

Can someone else see my list?

Other members never see it. The privacy page explains what is kept with your account and for how long.

Does My List work for every playlist?

Yes, for the provider playlist and for your own M3U or Xtream playlists. AromaOtt Player contains no channels or titles of its own; My List only remembers items of the playlists you use.
