Video reverting back to EPG

[forzaazzurri]

What does it mean when watching IPTV and the video gives up and reverts back to the EPG.
Happens mostly with international channels. Is it that my box doesn’t have enough processing power
or is it on the server end ?

It's usually a buffer underflow (ie: nothing left to decode). Could be anything.. Could be your internet, could be your box (maybe needs to be rebooted), but typically it is just the source. I've tried increasing buffers in programs that allow it (like latest perfect player), and sometimes it helps, but often it makes no difference. With the OK2 app, it returns to the EPG.. With perfect player, it will go to a spinner, and then continue when the stream resumes (at least you don't need to constantly press ok on the remote). It happens on occasion, and as you mentioned it is most often with international channels, but some other specialty channels are not immune to it.

Several of my friends are having the same problem of video stopping and going to epg on ok2 app. This appears to have started when they changed the playback setting to Native.

You only need native for 265
