Combined Mode — one lineup from all your playlists

Duplicate channels fold into a single row, and Rivue plays the best copy.

If you keep more than one playlist, the same station often appears many times — an HD and an SD variant here, another copy there. Combined Mode folds those duplicates into one row and makes all your playlists behave as a single channel lineup.

  1. Open SettingsLive TV & GuideCombined Mode.
  2. Turn on Combine playlists into one lineup. (It is off until you turn it on.)

How folding works

Rivue matches channels by name, ignoring decorations — country prefixes, and tags like HD, SD, FHD or 4K. Matching channels across all playlists become one row, marked with a small layered badge and a count. Categories with the same name also fold into one list.

Which copy plays

Rivue plays the copy that actually delivered the best picture — it remembers the resolution and frame rate each stream really produced, and ranks by that, never by what the name claims. Sources that recently failed sink to the back. If the playing copy dies, the next one takes over automatically.

Tip — Long-press (or right-click) a folded row and open Sources to see every copy — each line shows its playlist and measured quality, with a checkmark on the one playing. Pick a different one any time.
