Troubleshooting & Optimization Tips
Experiencing Buffering or Freezing?
1. Restart your Wi-Fi router and streaming device.
2. Connect via 5GHz Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable rather than 2.4GHz.
3. In app Settings > Player, toggle between Hardware Decoder and Software Decoder.
Audio is Out of Sync or Black Screen?
Change the stream format from HLS to MPEG-TS (or vice versa) in your player settings, or clear the app cache in device application settings.
ISP Throttling / Blocked Streams?
Some internet providers throttle streaming during live sports. Using a secure VPN (like ExpressVPN, Surfshark, or NordVPN) completely bypasses ISP throttling and ensures uninterrupted playback.
