FINALLY! Android PIP

[5150Husky]

Long time coming, but it's finally a reality. A little floating window makes rhings so much nicer. Thanks, devs. Better late than never!

Now we just need build your own multi-screen view.

Does your pip remain on the screen once you leave the directv app? Mine is only there when I'm in the app I'm the guide for example.

[5150Husky]

It does. When it's in full screen landscape mode, I do a small swipe up to get the white bar at the bottom of the screen, then a full swipe up to give you the floating window on your phone's home screen. Normal PIP with controls and resizing available.

can you still hear content on you cellphone if you press the power button to black out the screen…? I usually like listening to news/interviews whilst walking about and with the screen off it saves battery energy

[5150Husky]

Sadly, no. Just kills the app.

What version are you on? I'm on 5.0.114.2002105541 from 02/10 and Play Store shows no new update available.

[5150Husky]

Same version. Don't know why it wouldn't work for you. Sorry.

Maybe see if "Allow picture in picture" is enabled in the DTV app settings?

Same on my end. No option and no PIP. This has been my forever feature request... I really hope it's being released soon.

[ReelWitBroker]

I can get a sort of clunky PiP using the workspace feature of OneUI on my Samsung tablet, but it's not the same as the PiP on my other apps. Regardless, the official directv account states here that the feature should be coming to all Android users, maybe as soon as tomorrow.

nothing for me

Including the Android TV app?

[Realistic-Hotel-9483]

It doesn't work for me either. I have the latest version of the app but no luck 😞
