UGH! Are any of the other categories working in the Dream TV addon? Movies, TV shows…etc?
I would turn your ONN off then on.
For Scrubs, are you using a debrid service, i.e. Real Debrid or Premiumize.me?

Went back to try them and they are now both working just fine. Again I truly appreciate you taking the time to help me
Well I lie, I just tried a show thru scrubs and still noy working says. ‘One or more items failed to pkay. Check the log for more infomation about this message. So frustrating
On Dream TV it has over 100 servers and it states that “if server # is not working try another”. Maybe that is why you had better results second time.
I dont use Scrubs.

Great news on the Dream TV issue. Like JPM69 says, I quit Scrubs quite awhile ago. The new addon of choice is Umbrella and Troy has a tutorial for that one.
YES! trying to figure out what the logs are indicating is crazy and no real help for most of us streamers. Are you using a debrid service?
Just bought 2 onn pro boxes from walmart. They are still in the yellow boxes, and i have yet to get my hands on one of the pros in a blue box.. Just wondering if any difference or just packaging..
On both boxes.. right after i turned them on and connected to internet, they update to Android 14 no option to stop or cancel. No real complaints except their built in button mapping for some of the buttons, over rides my button mapper app. So looks like on the ONN pro if you buy a new one.. it doesnt come with android 14. but that is what we will be using
I’m having an issue with Tivimate.I am installing the correct credentials and keeps saying error.
Is there something in settings that’s not correct
I’ve probably entered it three or four times
It did accept my credentials on the 4K fire stick. Does anybody have any recommendations? Thank you.strong text
I am sorry if these questions seem odd but the more info we have the better. Did you use the companion app to buy a Premium sub? Are you sure you have your user name and password correct? Exactly what is the error message? Did you have any issues installing TiVimate? If you are sure your creds are correct, as any mistake will cause a failure, did you try doing a fresh install and request a password reset? Hopefully the insiders can get you some help.

Have Onn 4k pro and using downloader always worked fine. After the android 14 update when downloading an app it takes a long time for downloader to stage the app and then a long time to install . When it first started I thought maybe a bug in downloader and uninstalled and reinstalled and still the same.just wondering if anyone else encountered this. It still works normal on generic android boxes with android 14 and 15 and is specific for me just on the ONN 4k pro . I also got the latest android 14 update .
I bought Onn 4K last year from Amazon.ca and only tried to install it today. It turns out only compatible in the US, can I change a setting to Canada?
THere is a lot written about that here, especially by me. Set up a vpn USA hotspot on your computer, phone, tablet etc. Login to that and you will be able to set it up. After it’s setup, you can do what you want.

I just purchased the ONN Pro 4K TV box from Walmart in Canada, online. It was $84.73. Quite impressed with it.
I just purchased the ONN Pro 4K and it is Android TV OS 12. I selected system update and it said it was up to date? Downloader worked fine. I am in Canada.
Does anyone know where the actual setup instructions are for 4k pro? Ive see the review and the star button video, but cant find setup anywhere.
Hello, I didn’t do a setup video for this as it’s similar to all of the others out there. Here is one for the Onn 4K Plus.
Once you get Downloader installed it pretty much functions like the Fire TV or other Android TV devices.
Same techniques in this video will work on the Pro.

I have rarely had issues with streaming off of the smarters app with cheap alibaba service, the last few nights we are watching a series and it works as usual and then starts to buffer almost constantly, most of the time we just quit watching. Tonight before we start I find the show on Syncler, Stremio, and Onstream. Decide to just watch on Syncler, 20 minutes or so and buffering, so switch to Stremio, same thing buffering right away. I check speeds with 2 different apps and the highest was 5mbps even had some 0 and 1’s in there, then the box just restarts on it’s own, speed back to 95 to 120 through the ethernet and vpn on.
45 minutes later the whole process starts again I check speeds back down to 0 to 5mbps, I restart the box this time and back to the 100 and on with the show, another 30 minutes or so same thing. It has been about maybe 45 minutes with no issues now.
Internet was not dropping wifi and the computer hooked up by ethernet never quit only the box.
Anyone have any ideas or had similar issues? Box is about 5 months old and it updated to 14 Monday night I believe.
Thank you for any advice, maybe it is time to look for a new box.
Hey, been using the streamers for the last 6 months… It was working great, but on local channels, it began buffering every few minutes. So downloaded the latest one here, and now it works perfectly again… Worth a try… may it also work for you…
Cheers~

No solution but a lot of questions 
I love a mystery, particularly when it’s someone else problem (sorry).
My understanding from your post it’s occurring from different sources? You mention Alibaba and and three other apps, or only from alibaba? Does it only do this with that source? So using a FAST app without a VPN works as expected? (or any other source)
I wonder if you have tried without the VPN, it’s unlikely that not using a VPN for an hour or so will get you into any real problem but I leave that to you.
Am I correct in my reading to say you tried with Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet? In the second paragraph you mention it’s been good using Wi-Fi for 45 minutes. But my impressions from the first paragraph seemed to indicate Ethernet or is the laptop only using Ethernet.
My thought process is elimination of anything that can be eliminated, thus the VPN, also whether the streaming source could be the issue.
The Pro has enough storage and memory that it doesn’t seem likely the cache is a factor. If it occured only on Ethernet that might indicate a faulty Ethernet port or cable.
Before you replace the box it would be nice to verify that it isn’t something else as I am sure you are trying to do. Trying with a different box would be great though, a Plus is only 30 bucks… but “only” is relative in meaning. (Also wired Ethernet is a harder option with the Plus.)
This is of no help at all but I had a similar problem with the network interface on Firesticks ( the fix was a simple app that reset the I terface without a reboot), I have a Pro and I have NOT seen a similar problem them.
Sorry if my musing about the problem isn’t much or any help.

Oddly enough, I found that Stremio was buffering on a lot of souces last night for no good reason but i did find some that worked fine.
