The symptom and its scope

Record the old and new app versions, the first observed failure and which categories still work. An update can change decoder defaults or profile handling without changing the subscription.

Repeat a known reference source, review the changed settings and contact support before installing an unverified older APK.

Separate a source issue from a setup issue

If one source fails while another plays, record the exact affected channel or title and its selected quality. If every source fails, confirm the profile, account expiry and active-connection allowance through support. If one device differs from another, capture the player build and device model before changing the account.

A wired comparison changes the network path while a decoder comparison changes local playback. Keep those tests separate. Use the linked diagnostic articles to choose one controlled comparison instead of applying several resets at once.

Before a destructive reset

Keep a working profile and record the app version. Clearing app data can remove playlists, favourites and guide preferences. A factory reset removes more than the symptom you are testing and is not an appropriate first response to a single-source failure.

The support report

State “playback changed after an update”, the device model, app version, network type, account method, source, time and timezone. Include what still works and what changed during the test. Redact passwords, private playlist URLs, service codes, device keys and customer information.
