[REQ] Would PIP be possible? (Multi Feed)

[schumi2004]

As described in title.
Would it be possible to implement PIP (top right) for live streams, data, drivers etc...

[leonardoxh]

Personally I have no idea if that is possible on Android TV, do you know an app that has it as an example?

[leonardoxh]

Or maybe you're referring to have 2 transmissions at same time, like the main transmission and Data for example ?

[schumi2004]

Yes, 2 streams at the same time.
I was thinking about a small window in top right corner with for example data stream or individual driver cam. But don't know how to accomplish this in a user friendly way.
Maybe a selection screen were you define what streams you would like to use for it and then play it. No idea if that's even possible.

[leonardoxh]

It should be possible, but I believe there is some restrictions on the stream api and you can't freely combine all the streams you want, I believe you can only watch the data cam with the main stream for example

There is an IPTV app (TiviMate IPTV Player) for Android TV that has the option to put 3 (LIVE TV) streams on one screen and has also the option to show PIP. So it seems to be possible.

[leonardoxh]

Yeah it is more if the f1 tv API supports that or not

https://github.com/robvdpol/RaceControl seems to have no problem just launching multiple streams (even a rudementary sync a crross them), its windows / c# but maybe you could team up, or at least loan idea's :)

[schumi2004]

Using a browser I can also stream multiple streams so it should be doable imo.

Please have a look at the apple tv app. They add the multi view option.

Thanks for the feedback guys. This is definitely something I am going to do, I just can't provide a ETA or so. But it will be implemented.

SoundTV (a third party Twitch stream viewer) has multiview implemented on AndroidTV.
Here is the link to their changelog which also mentions a discord channel. https://s0und.github.io/S0undTV-Changelog/

Tried a couple of solutions for it, I was able to multi feed it but the controls get super messed up.

In short there is no easy way to implement this, in order to implement it we need to throw away the whole built in control glue and build a custom one so we can change the controls with the native PlayerView and PlayerControlView

Are there any news for multifeed?
