Any chance of this being implemented or added as a setting? OLED burn-in is less of an issue than it used to be, but leaving a bright static outline on screen for hours at a time is asking for trouble.

Works good!
If you have PIP open and then try to start the same channel in Multiview the channel closes and opens in Multiview and then freezes. This only seems to happen with TVE sources. I couldn't get this to happen in over the air sources or cameras.
If you pick different TVE channels. The freezing doesn't happen.
Can we get the audio icon indicator top right corner on active channel to always display for Roomy On or Off?
No, the setting for the focus indicator affects both focus indicators. The audio icon is used for Roomy Spacing, and the outline is used for the alternative.

Wasn't sure if this version was supposed to fix the issue or not. But still having same issue of Multiview freezing. Also the sources are Pluto for Channels and Tubi for Channels.

Yes, that was an attempt to resolve it.
For what it's worth, we don't consider those TVE (Pluto for Channels and Tubi for Channels) channels, and you should refer to them as Custom Channels. They are coming from third party sources and not provided by Channels.

Gotcha. I thought that after I sent my original post about TVE. Thanks for clarifying.
The "roomy spacing" feature appears to make the screens smaller.
For what purpose would I want to engage this feature?
Thank you for your time and consideration
It’s just a more tvOS design presentation that fits more in with the platform.
It’s not a big deal.

No way to display CC on active selected screen? Didn’t see anywhere if this is a option.
would be cool to have CC on the NON-active screens, listen to one, and be able to read on the others

Game 1 of the Dodgers in the World Series, and in the meantime, there's a high-speed police chase on the 101 that the other locals are covering. Such an L.A. moment. 
Thanks again, Channels devs for multiview!
Did something change with this recently? It has been awhile since i used it, but it worked fine to watch multiple star trek channels i have from Pluto tv, but now, it only will play one of the channels, the last one i open. If i add any more, it causes the previous channel to freeze.
Also, the white border around the active channel is quite annoying.
EDIT: looks like no matter what channels i add, from multi sources, does this now. So only one channel will play in multi view. The others are frozen. So this feature is essential broken for me.
I did send diags from server and app.

Edit: a reboot of the Apple TV seems to have resolved this
Hmm, not sure why it's not working for you, still testing here and it's working fine.
There's a setting to disable that now: "Persist Focus Indicator." With it off, the white border fades away quickly.

Ah thanks for that reminder of that setting
Rebooted Apple TV and now multi view is working correctly. Weird. It gues it was just a ATV glitch thing.
I'm still seeing the 3 "loading" dots stay on screen most of the time despite smooth playback, should I submit logs for this?
