MultiView
Watch two to five screens at once, with provider streams and personal media side by side.
Objective
Set up a MultiView layout and understand connection limits and audio.
Before you start
- An Xtream source that reports at least 2 simultaneous connections, or a scanned My Media folder. M3U playlists do not report a connection limit, so provider streams stay at one there. Provider screens count against your provider's simultaneous-connection limit; My Media screens do not.
Steps
-
Pick a layout
MultiView offers 2 screens on the free plan and up to 5 with SlothMate Plus. Provider streams never exceed the connection limit your provider reports; adding personal media tiles unlocks the larger layouts even on a one-connection account, because local files use no provider connection.
-
Add content to a screen
Click Add content on an empty screen. The picker offers Favorites, Channels, Movies, Series (drill into an episode), and My Media. Content locked by Family Guard is listed with one red lock while masking is off, asks for the parent PIN before it is added, and asks again for the next locked item. It is hidden entirely while masking is on.
-
Control audio
The volume slider is shared by every screen and saved for your profile. Mute is per screen: the first screen you add follows your profile's remembered mute setting, later screens start muted, and Solo hears one screen only. Muting a MultiView screen never changes your profile's normal-playback mute.
-
Focus, fullscreen, and Up Next
Focus a screen for a theater layout, press F for immersive fullscreen, and on a series episode click the Up Next chip to play the next episode inside the same screen. It never autoplays.

Expected result
Several screens play at once within your provider's connection limit, with clear audio control.
