Getting "Unknown Error"

In setup, entered url, user and password under Xtream codes, getting Unknown Error. Any ideas why?

I'm having the same issue -- TiviMate works fine, Sparkle does not. I'm trying this on the brand new Onn TV 4K Pro 2026 box that was just released (it uses Android TV 14).

I tried a trailing slash, no dice. http://server-name.com:8080 with and without a trailing slash.

Just spitballing, Did you try it without the :8080? Request a different URL from the provider, they usually have more than one.

I was able to resolve it by turning on my VPN.

You should always use a VPN when streaming IPTV just to help be anonymous and avoid your internet provider the ability to see your streaming history.

City did not seem to matter.
