Multi-user?

That will work if the clients have tuner sharing enabled.
Channels DVR will source the stream once and feed it to the clients.
That setting applies to HDHR tuner sources.
TVE streams are always shared no matter the client setting.

Not sure about the tuner sharing. The remote user has FireTV and the local client uses Nvidia Shield. Reason I ask is the remote user keeps getting knocked off a stream and back to the guide every 10 to 20 minutes

check the log

That's a Fire TV bug probably. Have them update to the latest version for their Fire TV.

FireTV 4K is up to date. I checked the logs and saw errors like this

and a lot more errors like this

They need to be on v4.1.3

Im seeing a different version for Firestick 4K as the latest. From Amazons website:

I will check the version tonight. I am going to setup a fire cube (2nd gen) with channels and see how that goes remotely.

Looked at the client connection for the Fire TV and it shows FireTV 7.1.2 API/25 and Channels v4.1.0

I ran a remote FireTV cube for 3 hours without an issue, but these errors still occur. Is this ok?

There were only a couple of these with the Fire Cube, but the FireTV 4K had hundreds of them. I will be updating it later today.
