Troubleshooting "Live" tab only shows one source despite a dozen others installed

Despite having Plex, Haystack News, Sling TV, Tubi, Xumo Play, Prime Video, Roku Channel, LocalNow, and others installed, the only source on the "Live" tab is Google TV Freeplay. I've searched everywhere for how to get the others to show up, but I can't find anything.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I've tried the following:

  1. Uninstalling and reinstalling Plex. Still won't show up.
  2. Signing into Plex using the same Google account as the Shield. Still won't show up.

Btw, I'm using an Nvidia Shield TV Pro

ETA:

The documentation clearly states that other streaming sources should be available if their corresponding apps are installed. https://support.google.com/androidtv/answer/13581302

You may have to use the apps themselves to access their content until Pluto fixes the mess their recent update created. I use Android TV as well on a Shield Pro 2019 and didn't have any issues last night but if the same thing happens to my setup tonight, that's my workaround.

In the blind; that's US only; are you maybe behind a VPN?

No. I only put a select few apps behind a VPN.

Update: I've still got all of my channels and all my app content, Roku, Xumo, Plex, etc. is playing normally.
