When something goes wrong
No “Continue watching” row on the Google TV home
Google TV reads recommendations differently from classic Android TV; this row isn’t guaranteed to appear on the Google TV home.
Nothing happens when opening a channel
Nipo shows a step-by-step diagnosis (connection, account, channel) and a report you can copy for support.
The app won’t install
Check that your device is up to date and allows the install source you’re using (Google Play or the manual file).
