A device-wide reset is a broad, disruptive action and is not a focused first response when other sources already work.

Why this happens
If the device opens the player and plays other channels, it already demonstrates that several parts of the setup work. One failing source can involve its media address, current feed, format or account entitlement rather than every saved setting on the box. A factory reset removes much more than that one entry and can leave you needing to reinstall apps and restore private account information. It also erases the useful working baseline you had for comparison.
Compare the failed source with another version or a normal channel first, keeping the same application and connection. Preserve any exact error message and the time of the attempt. Android’s documentation distinguishes clearing application data from less destructive storage actions, illustrating why reset-style operations should be understood before use. Follow the device manufacturer’s recovery process only when the evidence and a recovery plan support it. Keep account details and supported backups safe, and do not confuse restarting an app or device with erasing its saved configuration.
A useful way to work through it
Preserve one working source as a baseline before changing settings.
Compare the isolated failure and record its error/time.
Use manufacturer-supported recovery only with the account details and backup needed to restore the setup.
