    ## 🐛 Troubleshooting


    ### Common Issues


    | Problem | Solution |

    |---------|----------|

    | **No videos load** | Check internet connection and that yt-dlp is installed |

    | **Videos don't play** | Ensure yt-dlp is up to date: `opkg update && opkg install yt-dlp` |

    | **List not showing** | Verify `data/youtube_channels.json` exists and is valid JSON |

    | **Skin errors** | Ensure `skins/` directory exists with corresponding XML files |

    | **Player crashes** | Try switching between GStreamer and Exteplayer3 in settings |

    | **Slow loading** | Reduce buffer size in settings |

    | **No audio** | Check audio track selection or reset audio in settings |

    | **Live TV not working** | URLs may change; update in `rsi_api.py` or open an issue |


    ### Debug Mode


    Enable debug logging in settings, then check logs:


    tail -f /var/log/messages | grep RSILive



    Or on OpenPLi:


    tail -f /home/root/logs/debug.log | grep RSILive


    ### Manual yt-dlp Test


    Test if yt-dlp works correctly:


    yt-dlp -g -f 18 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"



    Should return a video URL.

    *Some YouTube channels may have restrictions based on region*

    *UHD skin requires a 4K capable receiver with appropriate resolution*
