Frequently Asked Questions
Why does LG TV say 'This app will now restart to free up more memory'?
The TV's internal RAM is exhausted by large channel playlists, program guides, or background system caching, triggering the operating system watchdog.
Does disabling Quick Start+ slow down my LG TV?
It adds about 3 to 4 seconds to the initial boot time, but ensures 100% of internal RAM is completely free for your IPTV player.
How can I reduce IPTV memory usage on LG webOS?
Use Xtream Codes API instead of M3U links, and ask your provider to hide massive VOD categories you do not watch.
