What does Context menu mean?

A context menu presents actions related to a selected item, often opened by a long press or a dedicated remote button. In a player it may offer favourites, hiding, sorting or removal actions rather than simply starting playback.

Use a supported backup before bulk organisation. If a channel seems to vanish after a long press, report the menu action selected rather than saying only that a button was pressed.
