The steps here work whichever provider you use. Ultra 8K IPTV customers can also send the problem to WhatsApp support at any hour and have the line checked directly.

Restart, refresh, clear or reset?

  • Restart: close the app completely (Force stop) and open it again. Clears a stuck stream without touching settings.
  • Refresh: reload the playlist or the guide from the server, so new channels and listings appear.
  • Clear cache: delete temporary files the app has stored. Settings and logins stay.
  • Clear data or reset: return the app to a fresh install. Logins, favorites and settings go, so note them first.
  • Remove a profile: delete one saved login from the player, leaving the app installed.

Refreshing the lineup

  • Open the playlist settings. In the player, go to Settings > Playlists or the user profile.
  • Update the playlist. Choose Update or Refresh and wait for the channel list to reload.
  • Update the guide. In the EPG settings, start a guide update too.
  • Refresh movies and series. Open the Movies and Series sections, which some players reload separately.
  • Set automatic updates. Schedule a daily playlist and guide update so you rarely need to do it by hand.

Before you reset anything

Keep the login message, note which channel groups you hid and, if the player can back up its settings, save a backup first. A full reset is rarely needed: most problems clear with a restart or a cache clear, and a reset only adds the job of setting everything up again.

Getting a person to look

Ultra 8K IPTV support runs on WhatsApp around the clock. Send the app name, the device, a photo of what you see and roughly when it started; that is usually enough to check the line and sort it out within minutes.

Questions people ask us

What is the difference between restarting the app and the device?

Restarting the app clears its memory. Restarting the device clears everything running on it, which helps after a system update or when several apps misbehave.

Does restarting the router help?

Sometimes. If several devices struggle at once, restart the router; if one app misbehaves, restart that app first.

How often should I clear the cache?

Only when the app misbehaves or the device is low on storage. Once a month is plenty on a busy streaming stick.

Will clearing the cache delete my login?

No. The cache holds temporary files. Clearing data, or reinstalling, is what removes the login.

Does removing a profile cancel my plan?

No. It only deletes the saved login from that player. The line keeps running until the end of the period you paid for.

Will a refresh add new channels?

Yes. Refreshing reloads the list from the server, so new channels and corrected names appear.
