Just make sure to read this troubleshooting at the end, Below are the common factors why a user gets buffering or freezing while using our service:
Reason 1: Streaming on more than allowed Connections:
One of the most common mistakes that clients make is logging in and using their login credentials on more than the authorized connections. For example, if a consumer gets a plan but does not pay for the Addon connections, they are only permitted to use it on a single device!
When you do this, you may experience buffering, which freezing, or even playback issues.
Fix No. 1:
One of the most typical errors that customers make is signing in via their username and password on more than the permitted connections.

When you attempt this, you may have buffering, freezing, or playback issues.
We allow up to 5 connections with a single subscription and to learn more about the pricing of Addon connections kindly talk to our agent by visiting website for it.
Reason 2: The Application Caches on Your Device
If you use IPTV Smarters or any other kind of IPTV software for an extended period of time, the program will begin to create cache files on your device. Thumbnails for Movies/Series/Channels, Links, and other items are included in these caches.
Caches are useful because they help material load quicker because it has previously been downloaded in your device. However, things grow worse when you run out of storage space or stop streaming the same channels/TV shows/movies.
As a result, you must clear the caches every time you open the program, which only takes 5 seconds.
Fix No 2:
Here are the steps for some devices that you can follow to clear caches:
Android-Based TVs/Device:
Go to Settings > Applications > IPTV Smarters (or any other app you have installed) > Hit Clear Caches.
Firestick/FireTV Cube:
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > B1G Player (or the app you are using) > Hit Clear Caches.
Samsung or LG Smart TVs:
There is no option to Clear Caches on Samsung/LG TVs that’s why all you have to do is Restart your device and it will remove Caches for Applications.
