This is a major limitation to most sites viewed on the web, which are usually fixed in size and is built to go page to page. On a 30 inch monitor you will be able to view 144 shows at a glance.The top left side of the player navigation has three buttons "Shows, Muisc, Film", clicking on them will show you 500+ TV shows and a library of over 10,000 music videos. The left side navigation allows you filter by categories such as Comedy, Drama etc.Joost Media Player - Picture in PictureA major limitation of all video websites is the inherent nature of the web which is to force the user to go page to page. Thus a video stops playing when a user wants to search for content or navigate the site.

Clicking on this icon will launch the player into a TV mode style interface.Users do not have the ability to use a mouse once you click on this icon. The purpose of this is act as a true 10 foot UI and navigate by either remote control or arrow keys on the keyboard.A recently added feature because of the Joost API is to control the player while in TV mode. If a user selects CSI and it has 25 episodes the user can forward or back thru the episodes without the need to go back to the episode listing.Joost Media Player TV mode TV lineupClicking on the tv icon will launch you to the fullscreen mode.
