mac
browser- open multiview.cc in safari or chrome.
- use multiview.cc/tv with a keyboard: arrows move, enter focuses.
- airplay or screen mirror from control center, or use an hdmi cable.
download the zip if you want a local copy that runs offline.
android phones & tablets
browser- open multiview.cc in chrome.
- add to home screen from the menu if you want a full-screen icon.
- cast to a chromecast or google tv with the home app or the browser’s cast button.
google tv · android tv · fire tv
tv mode- open multiview.cc/tv in the tv browser.
- remote arrows move. enter focuses. numbers 1–4 jump.
yswitches tv mode off. - no browser? cast or mirror from an android phone or a laptop.
chrome, puffin and the fire tv browser all work. the tv layout hides the paste bar and hover controls.
apple tv
airplay- open the wall on an iphone, ipad or mac.
- turn on tv mode on that device.
- airplay or screen mirror from control center.
apple tv has no web browser, so there is no native tvos app in this build. airplay is the path.
windows & linux
browser- open multiview.cc in chrome, edge or firefox.
- arrows already move on the wall. tv mode adds the 10-foot layout.
- download the zip for a local copy.
tuners, plex & native apps
the wall can take their streams. it does not replace their apps.
hdhomerun
m3u + xmltv- use Threadfin or xTeVe to expose the tuner as an m3u + xmltv.
- paste that playlist into Sources → iptv.
- local
httptuners work best in the downloaded build on localhost.
an https page cannot load an http tuner stream; the local build can.
plex
via threadfin- put Threadfin or xTeVe in front of Plex, or open app.plex.tv in a window.
- plex does not expose a simple framable playlist by itself.
- a direct HLS URL plays in a tile if your server allows the browser.
the plex app stays separate. the wall links to it; it does not wrap it.
tablo & other tuners
export- export an m3u + xmltv with Threadfin or Plex.
- paste it into Sources → iptv, or choose a playlist file.
- keep the tuner's own app for recordings and its guide.
if a device has no public playlist, the wall cannot see it. a file export usually works.
native apps
separate- the wall is the web app. a tile is a web frame, not a native view.
- native players can run alongside; link to them or open them in a window.
- a real tvos or android tv app is a separate native build.
apple tv uses airplay today. google tv and android tv use the tv browser and /tv.

start here
what is multiview.cc?
a web wall for up to four live streams. paste links, pick a layout, and watch them together. no account, no install.
how do i add a stream?
paste a youtube, twitch, iptv, jellyfin or streaming service link into the bar and press add. it opens in a tile. if the site asks for a login, sign in there with your own account. if a site refuses to be shown in a tile, use open & sign in or the window wall.
what do the layouts mean?
1, 2 or 4 visible screens. hidden tiles stay on the board.
how do i move a tile?
press v or open more → arrange, then drag the grip. drop a tile on another to swap them.
what is tv mode?
arrows, enter and 1–4 work on any wall by default. multiview.cc/tv turns on the 10-foot layout with no browser chrome; y or esc leaves it. it is built for google tv, android tv and fire tv browsers.
can i watch on two monitors?
yes. open the window wall with w, or use two browser windows. each board keeps its own audio focus.
feeds
why is 4-up slower?
four players are four video decoders. 1–2 is the fast path; 4 is the heaviest. it works, give 4 a few seconds.
why is a tile black?
the feed ended, the site blocked the frame, or the player needs a click. reload the tile first. if it still fails, open it in a window.
why did a stream stop?
live feeds rotate. the demo boards swap in a live feed automatically. your own links show a local card so the tile never goes blank.
how do i hear just one game?
one tile is the audio source. press the speaker button on that tile. mute all is m.
captions?
the cc button works on youtube tiles. some sites only show their own captions in a window.
ads and pop-ups?
embeds bring the site’s own ads. we never add pop-ups. sites that refuse frames open in a window instead.
can i add more than 4 tiles?
one board holds four visible tiles. make another board for the rest.
saved & private
where are my boards saved?
in this browser’s local storage. export or import a board from more. clearing site data removes them.
do i need an account?
no. the wall is local-only. if cloud sync is ever switched on, it will be optional.
can i download it?
yes. download for computer, unzip it and run the start script. phones and tvs use the site directly, no download.
is it free?
yes, until beta ends. after beta, pro is $5 one time fee for new accounts. the beta is not a subscription and needs no card.
what does the downloaded app cost?
nothing. it is yours to keep and use. no account, no subscription, no license server, no kill switch.
what does the $5 cover?
pro: accounts, cloud boards, sync and share links. the downloaded app does not need it.
can i keep using my beta copy?
yes. the beta build keeps working exactly as it is. updates are separate releases.
do i own the software?
you own your copy and can keep using it. the code and design are proprietary; see the licence. there is no account check or remote off switch.
where is the source code?
the public repo is github.com/kellarblack/multiview. the downloaded app is the full static build — html, css, js, no server or hidden backend. the licence still applies: the repo is for inspection, not for copying or redistribution.
does this get around a login or paywall?
no. it does not bypass a login or a paywall. if a service needs an account, you sign in inside that tile with your own account, and paid content still needs your subscription. we never ask for, see or store your password. only watch what you have the right to watch.
still stuck?
reload the tile first. then reload the page. then swap the feed. if a site still refuses, it needs its own window.
