Hi @dos-ise, sorry for the late reply, and thanks for submitting this PR for the in-stream dialog — it’s a useful feature, and I can see the potential here! I haven’t had time to test it yet, but here’s some initial feedback:
Once these adjustments are made, I’ll be happy to test and consider merging. I can also help with improvements if needed, but I’m currently busy working on the navigation part of the app to ensure compatibility across all Tizen OS versions and fixing some existing bugs. |

Thanks for the feedback! Just to clarify the intention behind the menu: the goal is to offer a more intuitive, console‑like experience similar to Xbox Cloud Gaming or Luna on Samsung TV. Using the BACK button is essential for that — it’s the only button that’s always visible, easy to reach, and universally understood by users. On newer Samsung remotes, the color buttons are hidden and hard to access, and users have no idea what each color is mapped to. If we move the menu to a color key, we lose the whole point of making the UI more intuitive. About ESC vs BACK: If that’s possible, we can keep the UX consistent without breaking keyboard behavior. Gamepad support would definitely be great — the more consistent the experience across input devices, the better. The only question is whether we actually have any usable key combinations left. Most common buttons are already mapped for gameplay, so unless there’s a spare combo we can safely use without interfering with games, adding gamepad access might be tricky. You are correct “Disconnect” button is redundant at the moment should separated to close the current app. |

Thanks for the clarification, I understand the UX goal, and I agree that using BACK feels natural and console-like. The concern is mainly technical. On the Tizen platform, ESC (keyboard) and RETURN/BACK (remote) are likely mapped at the system level, so there’s a high chance they behave identically inside the app. If that’s the case, distinguishing them reliably may not be possible. That said, we should at least test whether they can be separated via At the moment, I can’t properly check this since I’m focused on navigation improvements and cross-version compatibility, but I’ll revisit and test it when I have time. |
feat: add in‑stream back menu for Tizen
Adds a simple back‑menu overlay when pressing Back during a stream on Tizen.
The menu helps avoid accidental disconnections and provides quick access to key events (ESC, F11, etc.) that Tizen remotes cannot send directly. Useful for navigating game menus or exiting fullscreen modes.
