Before we start, you will have to know about xtream code IPTV servers and how they are different from Stalker IPTV servers. Xtream code IPTV servers work with username and password as well as Mac address. There are many kind of smart devices that we can run IPTV on, such as Android boxes, Mag box, Nvidia Shield, Smart tv, Apple tv, Buzztv box, Formular box, Amazon Firestick and much more. Some of these smart devices are specifically made for IPTV and have their own media player to play IPTV channels with such as Mag box, Buzz TV box, Formular box etc. and other smart devices need a third party IPTV applications to run IPTV subscription on such as test.binge4k.com/'s Canada IPTV apk, ONETV.apk, Smarters pro app, XC IPTV and STB Emu apps.
When watching live tv channels and you keep getting buffering or freezing on all tv channels the first thing to check is go to your Canada IPTV app settings and do a internet speed test to make sure there is no issue with our internet connection. I believe you can also do a speed test by going to settings on Smarters PRO IPTV app. Another option would be open chrome browser or any third party internet browser and go to google.ca and type SPEED TEST and click on RUN SPEED TEST. It’s important to do all the speed tests on the device you are watching IPTV on, not on your mobile phone, Computer, Laptop etc, because you may get a faster speed on your mobile or computer but on your Android box or Firestick you may get a slower Internet speed, for this reason it’s a must to do a speed test on the device we watch IPTV on.
Keep in mind that IPTV will run even with slow internet speed such as 60mbps download speed, however we recommend to have minimum 150mbps internet speed to be able to watch hustle free. Now days in the city we all usually get over 300mbps internet speed anyways unless you live in a countryside village or forest area. Now that you have enough information about how to check your internet speed the next thing will be to check if anyone in your circle of friends and family is using your username and password. Please pay attention that when you purchase your IPTV server it’s usually one connection which means it can be used on one device and sometimes family remembers use the same username and password on multiple devices and both the family remembers suffer from freezing and buffering problems. For this reason we always recommend to not share your username and password with anyone. If your internet speed is good and you are still getting buffering almost on all channels, then this is the sign that your account maybe used by someone else. It wil play tv channels for about 5 seconds and buffer and then play and buffer and continue like this then this is the sign that your account maybe used by someone else.
If all your live tv channels are playing good like local news channels like CP24, CNN, Discovery, Animal Planet etc. but sport channels don’t play such as SportsNet, TSN, DAZN and PPV Channels and sometimes during a special game or PPV you won’t get any channels, it will keep circling and buffering. This could be an indication that sport channels on your IPTV server is getting blocked and to unblock it you must use a VPN to hide your connection activities. Please continue reading to educate yourself about VPN and when to use VPN.
WHAT IS VPN !
VPN stands for virtual private network. By using VPN you hide your network information and all your internet activities will be hidden encrypted or masked from your Internet provider company as well as all the websites you use. VPN does slow down internet connection and should be used with caution when using IPTV. VPN should only be used if you believe your IPTV sport channels are blocked and if you want to unblock it. When using VPN please remember to always connect to your country of residence IP Address. This is because if you connect to a different country IP Address on your VPN APP or software your IPTV provider software will automatically change the IP Address of being allowed to watch tv from to the country you last connected your VPN to and then you always have to connect to that countries IP Address to be able to watch IPTV otherwise channels will not play unless we reset your IPTV account from our end. For example on your VPN App you live in Canada and your IPTV is working great but all of the sudden you purchase VPN service and connect to USA IP Address, this now resets your IPTV account and your IP Address will be locked to USA and will allow you only to watch from USA.
RESET WI-FI NETWORK !
Sometimes big problems can be solved very easy. If you are getting a slow internet speed on your smart device or your tv channels are not working it can be a problem with your internet modem Wi-Fi network. The easiest way would be simply unplug your Internet modem and your IPTV device for about 30 minutes and after thirty minutes plug in your internet modem and wait about 5 minutes for Wi-Fi to connect and then turn on your IPTV device and try again.
MOVIES / TV SHOWS BUFFERING & FREEZING
When watching movies and tv shows sometimes you may encounter buffering or freezing problems. You may also experience watching a movie and it may stop and kick back to the start of the movie without you touching it. If this often happens then there is a easy fix. Sometimes the IPTV media player needs to be changed and it’s super easy to do so. Depends on the IPTV app you use, you could be using Smarters pro IPTV app or one of our apps like Canada IPTV app or ONETV.apk all you need to do is go to the settings of the app and change the media player.
GO TO CANADA APP IPTV SETTINGS
Once you are on settings click on External Players and ad all media players such as VLC, Nova Video Player, Xplayer, Mi Video and Mx Player. Keep in mind that you won’t have these players in your smart device or firestick by default, you may have to download them from Google Play store.
Once you ad all the players on the external players list then click on the button beside it which says Player Selection and then you can choose which player you want your live tv, movies and series to play with.
It’s important to know that by changing player most of buffering and freezing goes away and also movies and tv series don’t disconnect in the middle of watch time or in other words don’t stop.
Once you have changed your media player now you can go back and watch a movie or tv shows, it will ask you what player you want to play with. You have to keep playing with it under you find the right player that works for you. Keep in mind that the free media players that you download may show ads from time to time. If your problem is still not solved then you may need a new smart device such as android boxes or Buzztv or you may need a different IPTV server. You now know how to fix all your IPTV freezing on your firestick devices, android boxes, smart tv, smarters pro app, xciptv apk and much more.
