Switch between playlists without typing your logins again

Several playlists on one device, one tap to move between them, and what carries across when you do.

1 min readUpdated 20 Sep 2026

Most people end up with more than one line: a main service, a backup, a list for sports. mtivi keeps them all set up and lets you move between them.

Switch

  1. Settings, then Playlists

    Every playlist on this device is listed, with the active one marked.

  2. Select the one you want

    Choose Connect. The channel list, guide and catalog switch to that playlist.

What carries across, and what does not

Stays with the playlist Stays with the device
Channels, movies, series and the guide Playback settings, buffer size and decoder mode
Favorites, pins, locks and hidden items App language and subtitle appearance
Your own collections and category order Profiles, PIN and the navigation bar

That split is deliberate. Favorites belong to the list they came from, because channel identities differ between services. Your picture and sound choices belong to the TV.

Want one list instead of several? Combining playlists merges them into a single Live TV list and guide, rather than switching between them. See Combine several playlists into one.

How many you can keep

Two on Free, five on Pro, unlimited on Lifetime and Max. Reaching the limit does not remove anything you already added.
