Treat the player and television firmware as separate software components. An update to one does not automatically update the other, and each has its own publisher and installation process.
Why this happens
A player fault can remain after a TV update, while an old TV firmware issue can remain after an app update. The failed action determines which change to test.
Work through the steps
- Record the player and Android versions.
- Check the TV Play Store for player updates.
- Check manufacturer-supported system updates.
- Restart normally and repeat the original failing action.
What to avoid
Use firmware for the exact TV or box model. Do not install a file intended for another model or interrupt the device while an update is applying.
Know what changed
The recorded version should change only for the component actually updated. Retest the same feature rather than assuming an update proves the account or source works.
