Elegir el flujo vivo
Live TV sharing uses a connected Home DVR service to share a supported live channel. Its entry points use the SharePlay label. This is different from a title-based Watch Party, where each participant resolves a movie or episode from their own permitted source.
A working live share needs more than a visible SharePlay button: the Home DVR service must be reachable, the active profile must be eligible and the source must permit sharing. Odyssey supplies no channels or media rights.
Antes de comenzar
Completo Home DVR setup first. Check the current source and sharing permission. A source can permit playback without permitting recording or sharing; those are separate capabilities.
For a programme-specific action, sharing is available while that programme is on air. A future programme can be scheduled for recording where allowed, but that does not make it a currently live share.
Use an HTTPS server address your devices can reach and trust. Remote guests must also be able to reach the intended server. A local-only address is not automatically reachable outside your network.
Comenzar con un canal en vivo
- Abrir En directo Elegir el canal que se pretende.
- Abre el menú de acción o contexto del canal y seleccione SharePlay via Home DVRdonde está disponible.
- Review the Home DVR action screen and any source or permission message. The programme’s Recuerdo y compartir También puede abrir las acciones de grabación/compartitura.
- Use the sharing action offered for that current source. If the link-creation screen appears, review expira después y elegir Crear un enlace.
- Espera la invitación actual o código QR antes de compartirla con el espectador pretendido.
On Apple TV, use the remote to open the focused channel’s context menu. On touch devices, use the channel’s context action. On Mac (Catalyst), use the channel’s secondary-click context menu. These instructions cover the Mac Catalyst player. The Mac Home DVR companion is the separate recording-service application.
Mostrar la invitación de nuevo
Abrir Settings → SharePlay & Watch Party. Under TV en vivo SharePlayUna acción activa muestra Exhibición de QR & Link. This lets you retrieve the current invitation without starting a title Watch Party.
El invitado puede abrir la invitación o elegir Invitado abierto o enlace compartido in the same settings category. The shared-link view presents the HTTPS server for review and, for a recognised live share, a Reproducir de acción.
The share screen warns that anyone with the link can watch until it expires or is revoked. Share it only with intended viewers and in accordance with source permissions. The invitation is a scoped service-access mechanism; it is not a grant of provider subscription rights or legal permission to redistribute content.
El ejemplo trabajado
An adult account holder has permission to share a live community event through a configured source. They open the channel, choose SharePlay via Home DVR and verify that sharing is available. Once the invitation appears, they send it to the intended viewer.
Later they need to display the QR code again. They use Show QR & Link under Live TV SharePlay. At the end of the event they choose Stop Live Sharing rather than just closing the QR screen.
Problemas y preguntas comunes
No SharePlay action: verify the profile, Home DVR availability and source access. The action is conditional.
“La distribución no está disponible para esta fuente”: review the configured permission. A playback-capable source is not necessarily shareable.
El cliente no puede acceder al servidor: check the HTTPS address, certificate and network route from the guest’s location. Do not disable certificate checks to force a connection.
El flujo terminó: Verificar si su enlace expiró, se revocó o su servicio/source se ha vuelto inaccesible.
Can I use Start Watch Party instead? Use that for a movie or episode. The live-channel route and its Home DVR requirements are distinct.
