Hi Guys,

I had installed CloudTV in the HyppTV box. But when I running CloudTV now, the message swipe "down from the top to exit full screen" with "OK" button. But I'm unable to select "OK" button to remove this message using remote control. Can anyone advise on this?

Thanks in advance

Are you using a remote with trackpad or airmouse features which simulate touch? If not? You need one or an external mouse to click the "Ok" button.

I keep suffering buffering.

Anybody has any idea how to stop buffering for cloudtv?

Device? Paid or free account? Internet speed? Decoding mode? Using default or external player?

buffering... happens to ALL channels or just some?

paid one should be good, not much buffering.

free ones - some are fine, some are not.

is it better to use default player or external player?

i used mainly free but get free premium days quite often (becos i sign in all the time).

my experience with this app in the last year has been quite good, incl HD ones, whether free channels or not:

.. ethernet better than wifi.
.. own VPN deos NOT make it better (think it already is on own VPN)
.. new chipsets like android7 better than android5 better than android 4.4.
.. selection of player may make a diff - best to use the native player of the box and not ext like mx.
.. try the other server - u hv choice of 2.

thanks for the feedback. Appreciate comment on VPN because I was considering purchasing one.

Yesterday wanted to watch Federer/Nadal match but damn tough keep buffering, then same scene repeating.

I think it's server problem, cause other channels are smooth.

I've tried both asian/europe server - no difference.

Server problem.. With such services, buffering is bound to happen occasionally depending on server strength. For server issues, it's usually because the servers and or their bandwidth is at or near full capacity handling connections to it.. hence the buffering.

it is indeed frustrating when u can't get to watch something u really want! biggrin.gif

afaik, live sports in hd is the most difficult.

which is why i hv multiple sources for the ones i go for - a bit of badminton and soccer.

when all hd means fail, i fall back to the the last resort - astrogo in 480p.

I had a chat with cloudtv Support, not bad around 10pm also got live support.

They asked to change decoder, I switched to S/W now it seems better.

Well the real test is when it is showing some popular match

Yup... How they handle congestion is the true test. Basically, if server & upload capacity is set at 20,000 connected.. If say 20100 tries to connect, sure 100 or so experience buffering issues or kick outs.. What good IPTV providers do is provide more servers to handle the load.. Of-course, they can be pricier or more exclusive to seek than CloudTV. CloudTV's major advantage is history, those guys have been around for at least 5 years.. So paying to them comes with some peace of mind versus some fresh, low popularity provider

laugh.gif That one's from the channel hosters.. What most of these folks do is capture and broadcast the streams, guess they've employed a way to inform that the channel is unavailable at that particular time.

The best player to use is the built in player of cloudtv app.

Go to settings, tick native player.

Also, use ethernet... surely better than wifi.

Lastly, try switching between europe and asia servers.

yeh getting bad lag for cloud tv.

using a wireless to connect router to himedia running the app.

but ironically netflix 4k hdr works very smoothly...... so it would seem to me that wireless is not the problem in my case isn't it? so the real issue is cloud tv service speed is the problem?
i'd be fine if i just get hypptv to work, but i cannot run ethernet to it.... any suggestions? homeplug or a wireless bridge setup?  hmm.gif 

a bit confusing getting the hypptv to work. Asus router already has a setup for lan port 4 for iptv use, so normally you would plug that into the hypptv box. but how to do that when physically it's not close for that setup?

so how  rclxub.gif

it is server issue.. Free stuff not always reliable.
Paid subscription will be fine, I believe.
Still some free apps work better than others.
Question is long they work.

Hypp or unifitv, if no cable connection, can use unifi playtv app but quality lower.

Astrogo hd channels are quite good.

thanks for headsup.

been looking for an updated apk... i was still using 2017! biggrin.gif

seems more are now in HD but still laggy for some free channels.

well, it's free... i m not complaining... just use what is good, forget the bad ones.

there are always some other apps that in total give enough to watch.

Moogle Stiltzkin try this new cloudtv apk on yr old box.

as for your other issues with apps not compatible, etc, u should get a new box.

the new boxes are far more capable - i already explained some of that to u in himedia thread.

in addition, yr sharp androidtv can also do some of these newer apps nicely.

just that androidtv may need a bit more work for some apps, video+audio quality may not be as good as a box... depends what box.
