Check the login format before changing the values. A server form normally separates server address, username and password, while a playlist form accepts the supplied private URL. Preserve letter case and punctuation and remove accidental leading or trailing spaces. If the fields match the delivery message, confirm the account and expiry with support.
Why it matters
A pasted playlist URL is not interchangeable with a server address. Mobile keyboards can also insert spaces or alter characters. These small input changes can produce the same visible rejection as an inactive account.
Work through the steps
- Read the player’s selected login mode and the labels beside each field.
- Compare each value with the private account delivery message without retyping from memory.
- Check whether the active profile is an old account or a different service.
- Record the exact rejection text and contact support if the values still fail.
What to avoid
The useful takeaway
Repeated reinstalls usually do not fix a mistyped field. Never post credentials or the full playlist address in a public help request. App-store, player-account and content-account passwords may all be different.
