when experiencing issues watching or having with audio or video please start by following the below troubleshooting steps.


1. Ensure that you’re using minimum required hardware. For firesticks, a minimum 4k firestick is required but a Firestick 4k max is recommended for best experience
Any android box must have h.265 codec (we do not recommend using any low quality Android boxes or those older than 3 years)

Apple devices must have a minimum Apple OS 14



2. Try switching players in the settings menu of the app.
(ApolloGroup tv and Startup Show app only)

Both of these apps have 2 video players. Some content works best with EXO player and some works best with VLC player. When experiencing issues, start by switching players. 

a) From the main menu of the app scroll down to the bottom left corner icon settings menu ⚙️ 

b) Scroll down and select [player settings] menu

c) Click to the right and change the player from EXO to VLC or vice versa from VLC to EXO.

-You can change both the LIVE TV player and VOD (video on demand) player and then try watching your content again.


This step can help when experiencing buffering or audio or video issues such as no sound issue, sound out of sync, only hearing background sounds, video not starting, distorted video, no color, movies and tv shows stopping or not starting or no video and/or hearing only sound.

Some devices run in to some issues when using a particular player, thus the ability to change between players.

Usually this helps when one experiences issues with video and audio out of sync.
