1. Why Is My Playlist Empty?
A “No Channels” or “Playlist Empty” error usually means the app can’t connect to Apollo’s server or your login credentials are not valid.
It may also be due to:
- M3U or Xtream URL is invalid
- Subscription has expired
- Incorrect player is being used
- Internet connectivity issues
2. Quick Fixes (Try These First)
Perform these quick fixes before getting into technical details:
- Close the app and reopen it
- ✅ Reboot your device and router
- ✅ Check your username, password, or M3U link
- ✅ Try logging in with a different player (e.g., IPTV Smarters or TiviMate)

3. ⚙️ Check Login Type: M3U vs Xtream Codes
Apollo Group TV supports two major login types:
Xtream Codes API Login
Looks like:
Portal URL: http://apollo.tv:port
Username: youruser
Password: yourpass✅ Recommended — More stable and faster.
M3U Playlist URL
⚠️ Susceptible to playlist errors if:
- You miss a character
- The link is expired or copied-and-pasted incorrectly
Make sure you’re using the correct method, especially if your player supports both.
4.Device-Specific Troubleshooting
Android Box / Firestick
- Force close the app
- Proceed to Settings > Apps > Clear Cache & Data
- Open again and re-input credentials
Smart TV (via Smart IPTV or TiviMate)
- Reupload your playlist
- Try to use Xtream Codes login instead of M3U
- Make sure your MAC address is active and linked
5.Internet & DNS Solutions
Sometimes your device or ISP is blocking the connection.
✅ Try These Network Solutions:
- From Wi-Fi, change to Ethernet if possible
- Use a VPN to avoid geo-blocking
- Change DNS to Google DNS:
- Primary:
8.8.8.8 - Secondary:
8.8.4.4
This works to bypass ISP filtering that might be blocking Apollo’s streams.
6. Reset & Reinstall Options
Still not loading?
Perform a clean reinstall:
- Uninstall your IPTV app
- Reboot your device
- Reinstall the app from a trusted source
- Re-enter your login carefully
Pro tip: Use IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate — they’re more stable than generic players.
7. ???? Clear Cache the Right Way
Cache problems are one of the top reasons for playlist issues.
How to Clear Cache (Example: IPTV Smarters Pro)
- Go to App Settings
- Select Clear Cache
- Log out and log back in
Do this at least once a week to ensure smoothness.
8. Pro Tips to Avoid It in the Future
- Never share your login information (it can be banned or disabled)
- ✅ Use a VPN to keep your connection private
- ✅ Use the Xtream Codes login whenever possible
- ✅ Bookmark your credentials to avoid losing them
- ✅ Update your app regularly
9.When to Contact Apollo Group TV Support
If none of this works, your issue may be server-side or account-related.
Have the following when reaching out to support:
- Your username or M3U link
- The device you’re using
- The exact error you’re seeing

Then reach out to Apollo Group TV support via their official contact page or reseller.
