Activation and login · Android TV

For Android TV, check the account format, selected server and expiry before reinstalling the player. App activation and a service subscription can be separate.

Activation and login on Android TV

A saved playlist name can be anything the player allows; the server choice and issued username/password must match the actual account. A developer activation screen may ask about the app licence rather than the service term.

A phone APK can install yet still be awkward with a remote. Confirm that the chosen build supports your television model and controls.

Check the Android TV setup

Platform to identify: Android TV on the television or connected box
Controls used in this guide: The television remote
Keep privately: The player login route and an app-supported playlist or favourites export

Open the app settings for the player on the Android TV device; avoid clearing its saved data before recording the account route.

Android TV checklist for activation and login

Identify the stage
Read the exact error and identify whether it appears before account entry, after signing in, or only when starting a stream.
Use the Android TV route
Use Google Play on the Android TV device, or an operator-confirmed compatible installer. A phone APK can install yet still be awkward with a remote. Confirm that the chosen build supports your television model and controls.
Compare one useful result
Re-enter the support-confirmed account fields once. Check for accidental spaces and the intended server choice; ask support to check the account if the same rejection remains.
Confirm the outcome
The correct account is accepted, or support has the exact error and account format needed to check activation.
