Share Live TV through Home DVR

選擇現場流

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.

在你開始之前

完整 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.

從直播頻道開始

1. 打開 直播 選擇所需的頻道。
2. 打開頻道的行動或背景菜單,然後選擇 SharePlay via Home DVR在哪裏可用。
3. Review the Home DVR action screen and any source or permission message. The programme’s 記錄與分享 輸入點也可以打開錄製/共享活動。
4. Use the sharing action offered for that current source. If the link-creation screen appears, review 結束後 選擇 創建鏈接.
5. 等待當前邀請或QR代碼,然後與預定觀衆分享。

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.

再次展示邀請

打開 Settings → SharePlay & Watch Party. Under 電視臺 SharePlay活躍的股票展示 顯示 QR & Link. This lets you retrieve the current invitation without starting a title Watch Party.

客人可以打開邀請或選擇 開放邀請或共享鏈接 in the same settings category. The shared-link view presents the HTTPS server for review and, for a recognised live share, a 播放 行動。

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.

工作例子

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.

停止或更改股票

選擇 停止分享 under Live TV SharePlay. The Home DVR sharing screens also expose 停止分享 for a current link. Stopping and letting a link expire both end that link’s availability, but closing the share sheet is not the same as revoking it.

Check the result before creating a replacement link. If you need a different source or programme, return to the intended channel and let the app recheck its access.

常見問題和問題

No SharePlay action: verify the profile, Home DVR availability and source access. The action is conditional.

“分享不適用於此來源”: review the configured permission. A playback-capable source is not necessarily shareable.

客人無法訪問服務器: check the HTTPS address, certificate and network route from the guest’s location. Do not disable certificate checks to force a connection.

流程結束了: 檢查其鏈接是否已耗盡、已被取消或其服務/來源已無法使用。

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.
