My hard efforts trying to configure this app failed miserably. Useless...
I bought to install on the Sony Bravia TV on Feb 15 and on that the message came using the Downloader app that the Stbemu pro will be installed soon, Only error message came that it will be installed soon. When this will be installed. What do I need to do? Can someone help me? It has been a week and no support. It is so bad
awful user interface...
Not satisfied every time it reqires to go in setting to watch progmms
Subtitles just dont work on the android version. It always shows as disabled. please help.
Worst app experience ever. Please don’t waste your money on a subscription. You can’t fast-forward, you can’t go back, and you basically get stuck wherever you are. If you try to skip ahead, it throws you back to the beginning. I regret buying the subscription and it still isn’t working properly. Very frustrating.
reinstate the ljk player, literally thousands of people are affected
keep saying open the menu but there is no menu button
App kepp crashing and Changing default setting automatically to weird. this is subscription app so should not be like that.
please bring an app like iphone. iphone app is so polished when running iptv. In android, some buttons don't even function properly, where as iphone is fully touch ui and easy to navigate
Stopped working properly for the last 4 weeks. Can't use down button, mostly it will give error no stream. Please fix these issues.
Unable to load app
App does not work- forces you to pay upfront- should give trial period and if it worked, one could decide to pay.
I'm seeing lot of people are requesting for forward and back options in Chromecast why that is not considered here it is a major inconvenience to use this app
Aspect Ratio is not working. It always returns to auto, even if I selected 16:9. Used on Xiaomi Android TV. Additionally we don't have this option anymore (techbylws.***/zoomed-in-issue-stb-emu) with use alternative web page scaling on Android KitKat’ option, but the issue still exists.
Always has an issue in loading the channels. Many times it need to be restarted.
please refund me as the app did not work for me
freezes up too often
The app keeps crashing. the screen goes blank after I open it. It won't open. tried clearing cache, and forcing the app close, but nothing works. I'm using the Sony Android TV.
won't open shuts down after two seconds. support doesn't respond to emails
You get Ads on the Pro version too - I bought the Pro version thinking it won’t randomly show me Banner ads anymore but it still does, what’s the point of me paying for the pro version. Would not Recommend. ZERO STARS.
does not work. waste of money
App randomly stops showing half the options on Google TV and doesn't allow selection of any channels. Only after restarting the app several times, clearing cache,etc. it starts working again. There's no stability in this app anymore.
It does not work on new samsung s24 ultra as it needs to be 64bit compatible. please update it to 64bit compatible. It worked perfectly until I updated my phone recently.
This app is not working any I wanna my money back
LOL. WON'T RECOMMEND unless updated and fixed. worst screen resolution output. no 4K. tv and Nvidia Shield are 4K, streams are 4K but this app is so backward in this generation.. not offering 4K output. after you set the resolution to 1080, app UI will be messed up - looks cropped or smaller on the tv screen
I just bought this app, but didn't work and telling me that this app has a bug, and have to update. But I can't find a new update for this app. Please refund my payment.
How do I increase buffering setting on Google TV ? I don't have "Advanced Setting" option. Please reply. I just bought paid version and now it's useless as it's keep freezing. All other apps streams flowless. Please suggest or add future to change buffer size.
Will not load...I am not sure about everyone else but the app has shown connection issues off and on all day. Right after the football game is stopped working all together
Poor customer after sale services. Do not buy because you will lose your money. App does not work
Fix the app!!!!
every time a change channel or doimg amything with the app, using my nvidia sheild, the volume drop t9 zero. cant do any favorites and search. worst 8$ ever spent.
It doesn't work, you can't enter username password for iptv, I don't recommend it
Not working
I downloaded the pro version yesterday and I don't see a difference between free version vs the paid version. Is that the case? And also, I don't see the videos and other options. I only see the TV and media browser.What can I do to fix this issue?
Fake app
Cannot install on firestick, download option on website shows 404
initial load times have increased 3x since the last update. feels more like a downgrade than a update. sent an email to the developer, no acknowledgement for more than a month despite being a subscriber. also started having issues with players. never had any trouble with IJK player but for some reason it was disabled despite being working fine.
Please fix Buffering and the player issues. Keep giving error network stream playback issue and lag burring please fix it's very bad network issue keep poping up I have very good network i have no issue when i use mag box not sure why keep happening with app
yeah most of the time we don't work as expected and on Android TV the center button menu has beenflawed
The app and the player has lot of bugs that need to be addressed. Also it takes a bit to load the IPTV content.
The StbEmu(Pro) app is not functioning properly on the Google Pixel Pro 9 Fold. The StbEmu(Pro) logo is blocking the "Add Profile" button, preventing profile configuration. The logo should dynamically adjust to create space for editing. Furthermore, the "Add Profile" button is located on the top bar near the time and signal/battery icons making it unclickable.
It used to be flawless but lately the app has been unresponsive and crashing!!!!
Use to be a great app now crashes all the time after rebooting takes 30+ minutes to come back up running long time user with multiple boxes all the same fix please
Space bar on usb wireless keyboard and usb wireless remote doesn't work as it should on Nvidia Shield in this app so when you're searching for something with two or more words you cannot break up the words. Using version 2.0.10.4
