The option to "Play live games from the start" will have the media player launch an in-progress game at the top of the first inning, to prevent you from seeing the game in progress when it opens. To enable this feature, NexDef is required. The media player's settings also allow you to configure "Highlights and Player Tracker Alerts".
The MLB.TV Media Player has multiple viewing options to watch up to four games at once.
You can view multiple games at once in the media player by selecting one of the view options on the top left corner of the media player. The first option is the default Single Game view, the second is for Picture in Picture, the third is a two game Split View, and the fourth is Mosaic Mode, which lets you view up to four games at once.
Once you select a different viewing option, the Today's Games list will open up on the right side of the player. You will also see an orange square around one of the game windows. Click on one of the new, blank windows, the orange square will appear around that window. From either the Today's Games or Archive tab, click on another game that you would like to watch. You can also drag that games listing from the tab, into the window. The game will begin playing in that window.
When viewing multiple games at once, whichever game you click on and see the orange box around, will be the game whose audio you hear. In Picture in Picture mode, if you put your mouse over the top of the smaller window, a bar will appear along the top of that window with two options: Swap and Close. You can drag the smaller window to any area within the player by clicking on the bar, holding down the click, and dragging the window to a different section of the player. Let go of the click when you have the window in the spot that you would like to leave it. Clicking on "Swap" in that will switch which game is in the larger window, and which is in the smaller one. "Close" will close the smaller window and play only the game in the larger window.
While watching multiple games, you can switch between viewing options, such as from Picture in Picture to Split View by clicking on the corresponding view icon on the top left of the media player.
Clicking on Mosaic Mode will bring up four equally sized windows. Select a game for each of these windows, the same way as previously explained. You can still access the controls for each window by putting the mouse in the lower part of the window.
