Ok gang I need some help. I have been going crazy for a day and a half.
Onn 4k box
Surf Shark
IPTV Smarters Pro v4
GB internet connection
I set it up with multiple providers, one purchased and a couple of trials. Everything works fine with only one provider. Once I start switching between them they stop working. I get playback errors or just blank screens. Clearing cache and reboot helps until I switch providers again.
I downloaded XCIPTV and same issue.
Im not sure if it is an issue specific to the Onn box or something software related.
I am not sure if I need to try a different device or what I may be doing wrong.
Other apps work fine and stream with no issue. It just seems to be the iptv player setup with multiple providers I cant figure out.

2GB ram / 8 GB storage? - could be the issue and why it works after Clearing cache and reboot
You could try different apps for each provider,
IPTV smarters provider 1
XCIPTV provider 2
Tivimate provider 3 etc

So are these and the firestick pretty much good for setting up one provider only? I I am trying to make this drop dead simple so the Mrs will be happy with it.
So what hardware would your recommend with enough umph to handle it?

Onn 4K pro 3 GB ram / 32 GB internal storage - gives the box a chance to do everything in one app - try Tivimate app
My own choice is using Formuler because of the IPTV app and the remote

I put smarters on my laptop and it seems to have fixed the failure to connect between providers.
I still get quite a few channels with playback errors but I guess that could be pretty normal, I am just jumping around and selecting random channels.
I7 Laptop and the menus are not smooth. the android box seems to be better for this.
I will check out the video after some sleep. I guess the answer is a better box.
Thanks for the help.

Most IPTV providers are Shite - When you find a good one hold on for dear life!..Lots of buffering, playback errors etc…Also do you have the ONN or ONN Pro?

Just the ONN
The channels that are working are great but many were giving playback errors, some would work after a second or 3rd try. The one that has the has the most working is the alibaba one believe it or not.

Anyone know how to turn on Closed Captioning with IPTV Smarters Pro? I can turn them on in TiviMate but cannot find the setting in IPTV Smarters Pro.

So if anybody didn’t say anything, surf shark was terrible for me. Surf shark actually created problems with my IPTV service so I switched over to nordvpn and everything worked fantastic.

Each of the providers listed should be run as standalone apps. Trying to shoe horn all of these provider into a single app is asking for trouble. Just saying.
Does anyone have a line on the NEW Smarters Pro Premium Unlocked (Mod) apks?
