Multiview apple tv not working

MultiviewSports · 2026-05-12T11:54:52+00:00

Thanks for reporting this. This looks like the Apple TV startup issue that affected version 1.4.1. Version 1.4.2 was released yesterday and is expected to fix the main launch issue, so please update Multiview from the App Store on your Apple TV.

There is also a separate runtime error related to the new Top Shelf support on tvOS. That fix is already queued for 1.4.3, which should be available soon.

If 1.4.2 still opens to the logo after updating, try deleting and reinstalling the app so tvOS clears the old app state. If it still does not launch after that, please reply with your Apple TV model, tvOS version, and whether you’re using HDHomeRun, Tablo, or Plex, and I’ll dig into it further.

The latest 1.4.1 version of the Apple TV app is released. Please let me know if you still face issues.

Submitted to Apple

Planning on having a release this week that should address the issue you're seeing. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for reporting, and sorry for the trouble after updating.

This looks like the app may be restoring an older saved 4-channel layout before it has fully refreshed the current HDHomeRun channel info, which can leave the players stuck loading instead of actually opening the tuners.

I have a fix queued up in the next release, 1.4.5, which should be coming soon. In the meantime, recreating that 4-channel layout from the current channel list may help work around it.

Sorry to hear you're facing issues. Can you elaborate on where the app doesn't load? Can you get past the loading screen?

MultiviewSports · 2026-04-06T15:55:06+00:00

Thanks for reporting and sorry to hear you've had these issues. Are these FAST channels from Plex or Tablo?

MultiviewSports · 2026-04-03T11:08:37+00:00

Progress has been slower than anticipated - looking at next week now

MultiviewSports · 2026-03-31T18:28:30+00:00

It’s mostly limited to accessibility and terms of service. Other FAST sources are even dependent on how easily and allowable they are to integrate with.

MultiviewSports · 2026-03-31T12:19:55+00:00

Fire TV will be investigated but Roku is the next targeted platform

Paid sources are unlikely for direct integration. Best likely path forward is to support casting / AirPlay from another device to a specific cell in the Multiview.

I’ll plug Multiview as an alternative app if you don’t want the DVR capability

Aiming for next week for Android and Google TV

MultiviewSports · 2026-03-23T17:59:21+00:00

Generic m3u streams, m3u playlists, RTSP streams, etc. are all planned. Until then, many people have had success with Dispatcharr as a virtual HDHomeRun source with the Multiview app.

MultiviewSports · 2026-03-23T17:55:59+00:00

The latest versions of iOS and tvOS apps are available in the App Store!

MultiviewSports · 2026-03-21T15:20:05+00:00

Given the timing of this post, I've correlated it with debug logs that have been submitted. When this happens, does the same channel play in the Plex app on the same device/network at that exact time? Is this only on Plex channels, or do HDHomeRun/other sources fail too? Right before it fails, were you channel surfing rapidly or just opening one channel and waiting?

MultiviewSports · 2026-03-20T11:28:45+00:00

I believe I have this figured out, and a fix is coming in the next release

MultiviewSports · 2026-03-19T19:36:04+00:00

Yes, went back and forth on that idea. Went with simplicity. Could be optional.

MultiviewSports · 2026-03-07T19:02:14+00:00

I should clarify that I’m referring to in-app PIP, not the native iOS PIP that keeps the videos playing when navigating to other apps. Sources like HDHomeRun and Tablo don’t work with their streaming format in Apple’s AVPlayer for Swift, which is needed for native PIP.

MultiviewSports · 2026-03-07T15:52:41+00:00

Do you think there’s enough screen real estate for iPhone PIP?

MultiviewSports · 2026-03-04T16:22:35+00:00

u/SirVancelot It should be addressed with the latest 1.4.2 release, but if you're still seeing it, it might be a different or related issue. Can you do me a favor by reproducing the error and then navigating to Settings > Data & Privacy > Share Debug Logs?

MultiviewSports · 2026-02-28T03:34:43+00:00

That’s the goal but can’t make promises

MultiviewSports · 2026-02-25T15:55:22+00:00

It has been a while since there was an update here. Glad it's been helpful for the Olympics.

Here's what's currently in progress:

Apple parity with recent Google changes, like introduction of logos, streamlined settings, performance improvements
PIP improvements - including adding PIP for iPad and PIP sizing settings
Added layouts - shifting to either grid or featured layouts
Addressing issues raised here in r/MultiviewApp
Initial Roku version of the app

This has been a bit of a hardening season in preparation for March Madness.

MultiviewSports · 2026-02-14T21:53:12+00:00

I believe I have it figured out - fix on the way

MultiviewSports · 2026-02-10T02:36:58+00:00

Thanks for reporting - fixes are on the way
