@everyone
TiviGlass Fusion is coming to Beta!
Most of you run more than one service. Fusion is what finally makes the second one worth having.
When a channel dies, TiviGlass can play that same channel from another playlist you already own. The picture switches source and that’s it. The channel, the guide, your favourites and the playlist you were browsing all stay exactly where they were.
What you’ll see:
• Switch source now covers all your playlists. Press Menu, choose Switch source, and the list includes matching feeds from your other services, not just the copies on the one you’re browsing.
• It tells you what you actually have. “3 sources” means three copies. “Protected by 1 independent backup” means one of those comes from a genuinely different provider account. Two playlists that turn out to be the same subscription on two addresses count as one. It won’t tell you you’re covered when you’re not.
• Ask before switching is the default. A channel stops, you get one prompt naming the feed it would move to, and nothing happens until you choose. Automatic skips the prompt and is part of Advanced playback. The picker, the protection count and the corrections are free for everyone.
• It won’t guess on things it shouldn’t. PPV, one-off events and 24/7 loop channels are never switched automatically, however many copies you own. Two feeds called “PPV 1” are usually two different events. They still appear in the list so you can pick for yourself. A +1 feed is never treated as the same channel as the live one.
• You can correct it. Wrong channel in the list, choose Keep separate. Missed one, it shows under Possible matches, confirm it. The decision sticks on that TV, for that profile.
Nothing is uploaded and nothing is shared. Fusion only ever plays sources you added, using your own logins, and it works with no connection to us at all.
One thing to expect: matches take a little while to appear after you add a playlist. TiviGlass builds the list in the background when the box isn’t busy, and the Switch source screen says so while it’s working.
It’s in staging now and heading to Beta very soon. If you want it early, hit Toggle Beta access in <#1512567999905796279> and you’ll get the ping when the build lands.
