Activation and login · Linux computer

For Linux computer, 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 Linux computer

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 receiver plugin is not a general Linux desktop package. An Android APK or Windows executable is not a native Linux player.

Check the Linux computer setup

Platform to identify: the Linux distribution, desktop and player version
Controls used in this guide: The mouse and keyboard
Keep privately: The player’s supported playlist export and private account record

Record the distribution, player package and graphics/audio stack rather than applying a television-app reset.

Linux computer 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 Linux computer route
Use a supported distribution package or the actual developer’s application source. A receiver plugin is not a general Linux desktop package. An Android APK or Windows executable is not a native Linux player.
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.
