Common problems
Troubleshooting
Work through the relevant checks in order. If the problem continues, share the device model, player name, and exact on-screen message with Support without exposing account details.
The account details are not accepted
Confirm the setup method matches the supplied fields, paste each value again without spaces, and keep the credentials out of screenshots or public messages.
Categories remain in a loading state
Keep the app open on Wi-Fi, restart it once, and refresh the saved profile. Check available storage if the app closes during loading.
Playback pauses or mobile data use is high
Use a stable Wi-Fi connection for longer viewing, pause large downloads, and review the player’s own stream-quality control where available.
AirPlay or Cast cannot find the screen
Confirm both devices use the same network and that the receiving screen supports the matching feature. Not every player, phone, or TV combination supports casting.
The app closes or freezes
Update the app from the official store, restart the device, and check free storage. Reinstall only if the supplied account details are still available.
Audio continues after leaving the app
Return to the player, stop playback, and then close the app through the normal app switcher.
Device questions
Frequently asked questions
Should I test on the phone before casting?
Yes. First confirm that the account loads and playback works directly on the phone or tablet. Then test AirPlay or Cast only if both devices support it.
Can the same instructions be used on iPhone and Android?
The account information is used in a similar way, but the app stores, player listings, permissions, and casting controls differ. Follow the matching platform section.
