Source and licence problems

Messages when connecting sources, empty catalogue, guide with no data, devices that cannot be found and licence errors.

A source will not connect

MessageWhat to do
“Wrong username or password, or inactive account.”Check the details and that the subscription is still active.
“Could not reach the server. Check the URL or enable the proxy in Settings.”Check the address (with http:// or https:// and the port) and that the server is on.
“Could not read the M3U playlist.”The list is empty or not valid; open it in a browser.
“The Plex server does not accept that token.”Copy the token again (Plex).
“The folder asks for a user and password, or the ones given are not valid.”Check the web folder's credentials.
“The portal does not accept this MAC address…”Verify the MAC with your provider (Stalker).
“Stalker portals only work in the Android and Windows apps.”Use the Android, Fire TV or Windows app.
“The provider did not answer; it retries on its own.”Temporary: wait or press “Update catalog”.
“Provider added, but its subscription has expired.”Renew the subscription with your provider.

Also, Settings → Sources → Check now tells you whether a source is “Active”, “Not responding” or “Credentials rejected”.

The catalogue is empty or incomplete

  • Press “Update catalog” on the source. With large Xtream accounts, review “Choose what to import”.
  • The first download of very large lists is slow; afterwards it is stored and runs faster.
  • If you have filtered by country, category or “Unwatched”, remove the filters.
  • If a source is disabled, its titles are not included.

The programme guide is empty

Your provider may not offer a guide, or its identifiers do not match the channels. On an M3U list you can enter another XMLTV address; then press “Refresh EPG guide” (Guide).

My device cannot find the others (phone, TV, Hub)

  • They must be on the same Wi‑Fi, with no VPN and no “client isolation” (guest networks).
  • On the TV, “Allow phone remote” must be on (Settings → Devices).
  • If they say it “no longer recognises” you, pair again (Your phone as a remote).

Licence

MessageWhat to do
“That key does not exist. Check it.”Check that it is complete.
“That licence has expired.” / “Your Premium trial has ended…”The trial is over; your profiles, lists and settings are still there.
“That key is already on 2 devices…”“Free this device” on another device (the beta and the licence).
“It has been a long time since this device connected to renew the licence. Connect and open it again.”Connect the device to the internet for a few minutes.
“You have used all the movies/channels/series from your sources that can be watched without a licence.”The no-licence allowance is used up; activate your key.
