This does not work..not on the KZbin app..its just the KZbin crazy app that keeps crashing. I tried this..uninstall reinstall etc etc this app works when it wants

[@willsnavely5530]

I very very rarely comment on videos - but this was so well done and so great that I had to!!! Thank you very very much Sir!

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

You are very welcome

[@aquilajedi]

@@DanielJohnHowTo you’re amazing. I have 2 masters degrees. Why is it so hard to fix simple but common stuff like this? Is Amazon doing this intentionally to downplay a competitor or do they just not care about doing a professional job?

[@keatonturner9332]

Bro perfect. I needed this today. I am a KZbin junkie. You saved my sanity today 😂😂😂🙌

[@solay78]

Thankyou! KZbin still crashes same time every night, like clockwork even after force stop and clear cache. Frustrating as this never happened with my old Now TV Roku stick (which also had a much nicer interface)

[@EVTD79]

My problem was KZbin kept buffering. That first suggestion didn't work, but I did restart my firestick and it working now. Hopefully it will continue.

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

i did it after maybe 12hrs it dose it again the whole restart thing is getting tiered

[@dinnerfor1540]

I have a fire stick that when you click on an app appears to begin opening it then immediately closes and returns to what's you clicked it. I had already done those items you suggested prior to watching your video.. In fact I went app by app doing all those steps and still nothing. Then I did the factory restore and the subsequent update and still doing the same thing. So at this point I believe this fire stick is not going to work anymore. However I am under the impression that at some point perhaps it was trying to update the system and the update install somehow got interrupted and basically bricked the fire stick. Would you be inclined to agree with this? By the way, I even went su far as to try connecting the power to the stick differently (power strip, directly to wall, changing power bricks, etc) to see if that should nudge it into a working stage but still no luck. Do you think it's time to replace it?

[@rocketdog2723]

I added a game controller 8bitdo NES FC30 and on the Bluetooth and controller setting it came up to add and took a while but added it. Now what happens if I go into Bluetooth and controller settings it just crashes back out? Is there anyway to reset or clear that setting without going through the whole factory reset please?

[@OGGood-lb7bd]

Bro I had to restart the whole system had to start from scratch all the signing in that really sucked but my KZbin is playing we will see if it last if so you got my subscription thanks for the help

Hi Daniel. I am going to ask you about an issue with the Media Lounge Ver 3.0.8 App. I have installed it on my Firestick 4k and it is very stable and works fine. I have also installed it on my Fire TV Cube and it is unstable there constantly exiting the App. I have done a forced stop, clear cache and even reinstalling this App. Nothing seems to work for the Fire TV Cube installation.

[@williamlau7179]

Good video. My current problem has been persisting for > a year that KZbin is "unavailable" for downloading, using older and latest firestick firmware. Other apps like Netflix is downloadable and working ok but not 100%, like jumping out & not reconnected on Android phone ver 10. Firestick is by no means a smooth streaming device. Home WiFi system is working fine & strong, 300Mbps.

[@bunncheese1100]

You will have to sign into your Netflix as if you were using it for the first time on Firestick. It won't do anything to your actual Netflix account as, you likely set that up on a different platform but, it's no issue to sign in again as if you just received your Firestick out if the box.

try clearing the cache and restarting the fire stick

[@dimensionaltrader]

I've tried all these steps, including complete reinstall. I've also bought a new Fire TV stick and it is exactly the same. KZbin app regularly hangs & crashes. The only way to fix this is either Stop the app and restart it (which requires excessive menu-diving) or restarting the Fire stick (which takes time). The app has been upgraded (version number changed) but still it hangs & crashes. Anyone got any idea what to do?
