Multiviewer
The Vindral Multiviewer is a tool for viewing multiple Vindral channels simultaneously. Not meant for end users, its primary use is to give channel managers an easy and accessible overview of multiple channels.
Use the Multiviewer to display all channels in a channel group or a custom set of Channel IDs.
There are two available layouts in Multiviewer: Grid and Highlight.
Grid layout
The grid layout will display all channels in the same size, adapting the player size based on the number of given channels, presenting up to 5 channels on a single row.
Highlight layout
The highlight layout allows for two channels to be presented in a larger player. The user can freely choose which channel should be highlighted by clicking any of the star buttons on the smaller players.
Settings
Additionally, there is a setting for only showing the channel thumbnail rather than the actual player.
All of this is configured in the settings menu. Settings are also persisted in the query parameters, so saving the URL after configuring your preferred settings can save you the job of performing the configuration again.
Channels identifier
Use the input field Channels to select which channels will be presented by the Multiviewer. You can either enter a Channel Group ID or use a comma-separated list of Channel IDs.
Autoplay
If the feature Autoplay is not selected, all players will start in a paused state. This will show only a thumbnail for each channel that is periodically updated.
This feature helps decrease the load on the device displaying the Grid View and reduces activity on the screen.
Hide offline channels
When the Hide offline channels setting is enabled, any channels that are currently offline will not be displayed in the Multiviewer.

The Multiviewer is also available for self-hosted solutions. Contact us for more information.
