The 3-step quick diagnosis
- Isolate the cause: test the same stream in VLC on a computer. Broken there too? The problem is the source, not your TV.
- Test the network: run a speed test on the TV device itself. HD needs a stable 5–8 Mbps; 4K needs 25 Mbps.
- Clean restart: fully close the app, unplug the device for ten seconds, try again. Fixes more than it has any right to.
