System Info Overlay — Guide¶

Activating the overlay with a button remap¶

The system info overlay does not activate on its own, the user must assign a remote control button to it. This is done from the Mappings section.

Step 1 — Open Mappings and add a button¶

Go to Mappings in the main menu and tap Add Button at the bottom of the screen.

The Mappings screen lists all configured buttons. Tap "Add Button" to start a new remap.

Step 2 — Press the button you want to remap¶

The app will prompt you to press the physical button on your remote that you want to assign. Press it now.

Some buttons cannot be remapped (e.g. Home or Volume). If the button you press is not recognized, try a different one.

Step 3 — Configure the button action¶

Once the button is detected, you will see its configuration screen. Under Button action type, there are two possibilities: Usual action (for direct execution) and Panel (to open a menu).

For this example, we will select Usual action to enable a direct command. Then, tap Single press (or Double press / Long press, depending on your preference)

Step 4 — Choose the overlay action¶

In the action picker, go to the Feature tab and select Toggle system info overlay.

"Toggle system info overlay" shows and hides the overlay each time the button is pressed.

Step 5 — Test the overlay¶

After assigning the action, you will return to the configuration screen where Toggle system info overlay is now listed.

To finish, press the physical button on your remote. The overlay will immediately appear at the top of the screen, confirming that the remap was successful. From now on, use this same button to show or hide the statistics at any time.

This guide explains the System Info Overlay feature of TV Quick Actions. The overlay is a persistent heads-up display that floats above all other apps and shows live system statistics directly on screen.

Accessing the Settings¶

To open the overlay settings, go to Settings → System info overlay.

Layout Mode¶

The first option in the overlay settings is Layout mode. It determines the visual style in which stats are rendered on screen.

There are three layout modes:

Vertical (mode 0) — Classic two-column text layout. Stats are shown as label-value pairs stacked vertically. This is the most information-dense mode and supports section titles and separator lines.

Pills (mode 1) — Each stat is displayed as an individual floating pill with an icon and value, arranged in a horizontal flow. Supports icon color and icon size settings.

Bar (mode 2) — Similar to Pills but all pills share a single full-width background bar. Gives a clean, HUD-style appearance. Horizontal offset and corner radius settings are hidden in this mode.

The layout mode affects which style settings are visible. For example, outer padding only appears in Pills and Bar modes; corner radius is hidden in Bar mode.

Position¶

The overlay position controls where on screen the overlay appears.

Nine positions are available in a 3×3 grid: Top Left, Top Center, Top Right, Center Left, Center, Center Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Center, and Bottom Right.

When the overlay is at the left or right edges, Horizontal offset controls the distance from that edge. When at the top or bottom, Vertical offset controls the distance. Center positions ignore the respective offset.

Displayed Stats¶

The Displayed Stats option lets you choose which statistics appear in the overlay and in what order.

Each item has a checkbox to show or hide it, and a drag handle to reorder it. The "Show descriptive icons" checkbox at the top controls icons globally.

In Vertical mode, additional items appear: section titles (Video, CPU, Other) and separator lines. These are hidden in Pills and Bar modes.

Tapping Save applies your changes. Tapping Reset restores the default stat order and visibility.
