Introduction
This troubleshooting guide explains how to resolve two common streaming service issues: geolocation discrepancies and subtitle delays. Follow the steps below to verify the hardware device, restart the affected channel, and confirm whether the issue is resolved.
Issue description
Geolocation discrepancies can occur when the device used to determine location is not working correctly. Subtitle delays may appear when captions are not synchronized with the live stream or when the channel needs to be restarted.
Signs
- The reported location does not match the expected geographic region.
- Subtitles appear later than the spoken audio.
- The issue affects one channel or service instance only.
- The problem continues after a normal playback refresh.
Basic troubleshooting steps
- Verify that the hardware device is powered on and functioning correctly.
- Check whether the device is connected and reporting data as expected.
- For subtitle delays, restart the affected channel.
- Confirm whether the geolocation or subtitle issue is resolved after the restart or device check.
Advanced troubleshooting steps
Geolocation discrepancies
Inspect the hardware device associated with the geolocation service.
If the device is faulty, replace it with a working unit.
Reactivate the service after replacing the device.
Verify that the location data now matches the expected result.
Subtitle delays
Restart the affected channel and allow the service to come back online.
Check whether subtitle timing has returned to normal.
If the issue persists, contact support and request a restart during a specified time window.
Contact support
If you need assistance with a device replacement, service reactivation, or a scheduled channel restart, contact support and provide the affected channel name, the observed issue, and your preferred restart time.
Additional information
When reporting the issue, include any relevant logs, timestamps, and the exact symptoms observed. This helps support diagnose the problem faster and confirm whether the hardware device or channel service is the root cause.
Conclusion
Geolocation discrepancies are usually resolved by verifying the hardware device, replacing it if needed, and reactivating the service. Subtitle delays can often be corrected by restarting the affected channel and confirming the result. If the issue continues, support can assist with a scheduled restart.
