Common problems & troubleshooting
Video plays but there is no sound
In the player app, switch the audio output from passthrough to PCM, or disable passthrough in the device's sound settings.
The app closes or freezes
Go to Settings → Apps → the player app → Clear cache, then restart the device.
Storage full warning
Uninstall unused apps; budget Android TV devices often have only 8 GB of storage.
Pro tip: Use the device's 'Match frame rate' or 'Match content' display setting if it is available — it reduces judder on movies.
