Pro-Tips for XCIPTV Stability
* Fix Sudden App Crashes: Because XCIPTV buffers a lot of visual graphics tiles, the device RAM can occasionally choke. If the app closes unexpectedly, go to your device Settings > Apps > XCIPTV > Clear Cache. (Do NOT click Clear Data or your login details will reset).
* Change Player Engine Type: If specific live sports packages show a black screen but play background audio, click the gear icon inside XCIPTV, navigate to Player Settings, and change the internal media player engine option to force an alternative video decoding handshake..
