How to fix iBO Player on Chromecast with Google TV

Step 1: Test your line

Before resetting your Chromecast with Google TV or reinstalling iBO Player, confirm the provider's server is answering and see how many of your connections are in use.

Step 2: Fix iBO Player on Chromecast with Google TV

Re-enter your line in iBO Player

Open the app to see its MAC address and device key, then add your playlist on the developer's website using those values. The app downloads it on next launch.

Clear the app cache

Settings → Apps → See all apps → select the app → Clear cache, then Force stop.

Change iBO Player's playback settings

  • After changing your playlist on the website, fully close and reopen the app (or restart the device) so it re-downloads the list.

Rule out your network

There's no Ethernet port, but a USB-C power adapter with Ethernet works and fixes most Wi-Fi buffering.

Restart Chromecast properly

Settings → System → Restart.

Installing apps on Chromecast

Install from Google Play, or sideload after enabling Developer options (Settings → System → About → tap Android TV OS build seven times).

Chromecast tips

  • Storage fills quickly. Uninstall unused apps if the player crashes while loading a large playlist.
