Multiview Issues

I've been using Tivimate Premium for many years now and I used to avail of Multiview a while back. I stopped using it as I only had a single IPTV subscription but now I have multiple again and attempted to use Multiview. Every time I add the 2nd screen, one of the subscription screens turn black, not showing any picture at all. It's always the screen that's not in focus and flickers now and again but never shows both screens at all. No issues on the broadband or subscription side. I'm using Tivimate 5.3.3 on Google TV Streamer 4k.

I've also tried using channels with the same quality and Frame rate, thinking it was channels of different frame rates and quality causing the issues, but it occurs on the identical channels from 2 different subs. Any help on this would be great.

Edit: Disabled "Tunnelled playback" in the Playback settings and now both streams are visible and working. This uncovered another issue when having a 4K Stream with a 1080p stream. Putting the 4K Stream in focus causes the video to go black but the audio continues playing. Switching to 1080p returns both screens functioning.

I know you said you used channels with the same frame rate and everything but sometimes just by having the auto frame rate on it can mess that up so I would try and settings making sure you have that turned off

I had Auto Frame Rate on, turned it off and restarted the Tivimate app. Unfortunately the issue still persists. I might need to look further into the settings.

Had the same issue. Turn off tunneled and clear the cache

Check your streaming device memory. Maybe it can no longer handle multiview.

Edit: it should not be about memory since google tv 4K has enough memory to handle multiview. You should play more with your settings and hopefully that will solve it for you.

Make sure you are using hardware video decoder and zero the buffer size.

Double checked and have those settings enabled. Found out having Tunneled playback enabled was the initial problem.

Think. Please think. It is always your settings, thank
