Channels not loading · Android phone

For Android phone, separate an empty channel list from a channel that appears but will not play. The account, catalogue refresh and video stream are different parts of the route.

Channels not loading on Android phone

If the menus and programme names load, the player has reached at least part of the service. That result does not establish that a particular video source is reachable or playable.

A remote-only TV build may not suit touch input. Mobile data use, background restrictions and screen state can affect a phone test.

Check the Android phone setup

Platform to identify: Android and the installed phone player version
Controls used in this guide: The phone’s touch controls
Keep privately: An app-supported export and private service credentials

Use the application settings on this phone. Record whether the player is foregrounded, locked or running in the background.

Android phone checklist for channels not loading

Identify the stage
Check whether every group is empty, only one group is missing, or the list is present and just one source fails.
Use the Android phone route
Check the phone Wi-Fi or permitted mobile-data connection. Keep the app in the foreground; note screen lock or background restrictions separately.
Compare one useful result
Refresh the list once using the player’s supported control. Try one different known source on the same setup and note which part works.
Confirm the outcome
You know whether the fault affects account access, catalogue loading, one category or the video source itself.

What you observe	What to check next
Every group is empty	Check account selection, list refresh result and source availability with support.
Some channels play	Keep the working configuration and report the exact failed channel, group and time.
Video appears but stops later	Use the buffering checks with the same channel and network route.

A detour to avoid for channels not loading

Do not replace a working login because one channel is unavailable. Avoid repeatedly importing the same list while a refresh is still running.

What to send about Android phone

Use WhatsApp +44 7532 814802 with the exact player name and version, the device/operating system, and what happened during the checks above. For a source problem, include its name and the approximate time and time zone.

Keep passwords, complete playlist addresses, payment information and device keys out of screenshots. A short description of the observed result is enough to start the conversation.
