Importing a large library can involve downloading entries, processing categories and reading metadata before the interface is ready. Give the supported operation time to finish and observe whether progress continues or an error appears. Do not start several overlapping imports of the same source. If the operation repeatedly stops at the same point, record that pattern and the player version before trying a targeted remedy.
Why it matters
Refreshing can involve retrieving data, parsing entries and rebuilding views. Duration depends on more than account validity. Observing whether it completes, stalls or restarts helps distinguish an ordinary long update from a repeatable loading fault, without deleting the last usable configuration before the affected stage is understood on that device.
Work through the steps
- Start one supported refresh or import and note its visible progress, leaving the account and network unchanged while the operation is clearly advancing.
- Record the error or repeated stopping point if progress fails, including whether the application remains responsive and whether another source loads normally.
- Ask support or the player publisher about that specific behaviour before importing duplicate copies or deleting a working account with saved favourites and settings.
What to avoid
Restarting imports before they finish can obscure progress and create duplicates. Do not interpret every long loading screen as expiry without checking the chosen account, actual completion pattern and the last known working state of the source or library view.
The useful takeaway
Let the supported update complete and record the result before retrying. If it stalls, report the stage and software details while preserving the last working configuration instead of starting overlapping imports.
