XCIPTV problems and fixes
Stuck on 'Updating content'
Exit the app, clear its cache (Settings → Apps → XCIPTV → Storage → Clear cache) and sign in again. A weak Wi-Fi signal also slows the first download.
Black screen on some channels
Switch the player engine from ExoPlayer to VLC in settings, then retry the channel.
Remote can't reach the menu
On Fire TV, press the menu (three lines) button; on other remotes, press and hold OK to open options.
