Start with the symptom
Find out whether the player has changed profile, account or local data before rebuilding a list.
On iPad, begin with a precise description of when the symptom occurs. Keep one source and one account selected, then change one part of the setup. That makes the result useful to both you and support.
Checks for iPad
Record the Apple device, operating-system release and App Store player. Dream Android APKs are not iOS, iPadOS or tvOS installers. AirPlay and direct playback need separate tests.
| Part of the setup | Check on iPad |
|---|---|
| App and installation | Select an iPad-compatible player from the App Store. Confirm whether its sign-in screen expects a playlist, portal or separate credentials. |
| Controls | Use the tablet keyboard and check portrait, landscape and supported multitasking layouts. |
| Connection | Record whether the iPad is on Wi-Fi or cellular. A change of network can explain different performance without an app change. |
| Playback | Test local playback before AirPlay. Check the actual audio and subtitle tracks in the source. |
Work through the checks in order
- Check the active player profile
Select an iPad-compatible player from the App Store. Confirm whether its sign-in screen expects a playlist, portal or separate credentials.
- Confirm the same service account
Use the tablet keyboard and check portrait, landscape and supported multitasking layouts.
- Inspect favourites filters
Record whether the iPad is on Wi-Fi or cellular. A change of network can explain different performance without an app change.
- Check recent reinstall or data-clear actions
Test local playback before AirPlay. Check the actual audio and subtitle tracks in the source.
- Look for supported export or backup
Android installers and television-store apps are different packages from iPad applications.
Read the result
| Observed result | Next action |
|---|---|
| Different profile | switch back |
| After data clearing | local list may be removed |
| Only some entries missing | source identifiers may have changed |
Repeat only the comparison that changed the result. If a setting made no difference, restore it before trying the next step. Keep the source label, approximate time and player version with your notes.
Before making a larger change
Android installers and television-store apps are different packages from iPad applications.
A factory reset, complete account deletion or router-wide change is a much larger action than restarting a player. Keep those actions outside this sequence unless the responsible support team identifies a clear reason and recovery path.
Get the right support
Use WhatsApp support and describe the device, operating system, player version, account method, network type and time zone. Say whether one feed, one title, one group or the whole account is affected.
Keep usernames, passwords, full playlist links, device keys and payment evidence out of public screenshots. If support needs an account identifier, provide it privately through the established conversation. Do not send bank-card numbers in the order or help form.
