Find the action that crashes

Start another installed app that you know works. If it opens and plays a title while your chosen player closes, keep the Google TV setup intact and focus on the affected app. Note whether it crashes from the home screen, during sign-in, when picking a station or while opening the guide. Each point gives the publisher a different way to reproduce the error.

Before clearing app data, check whether you have the approved source, account recovery and any saved configuration you need. Clearing data can remove sign-ins and app settings. Back up only through supported app features and keep any private source records on your own device.

Use Google's low-cost checks first

1. Check the device’s connection and whether the Play Store can reach the app listing.
2. Update the affected app and check Google TV system updates. Restart the device and retry the same action once.
3. Try a second known programme in the player if it can launch. A launch crash needs a different report from a single title crash.
4. If Google’s documented workflow and the app publisher call for clearing data, make sure you can set it up again. Re-enter one source and test it before restoring extras.
