Tips for the best Android experience
- On TV boxes, use Ethernet where possible — it is more stable than Wi-Fi.
- Keep the app updated from its official source to get playback fixes.
- If video stutters, try switching the app's player/decoder setting between hardware and software.
- On phones, use Wi-Fi for long sessions to avoid mobile data limits.
