Read the identifier shown inside the installed player and distinguish it from the television’s network hardware address. Some registration systems use an app-generated value, which may behave differently after a reinstall or device change. Contact the relevant provider with the new and previous registration context rather than editing an unrelated router address.
Why it matters
The word MAC can refer to different values in setup instructions. Registering the wrong identifier can attach a playlist or licence to the wrong app instance. The exact player and registration route matter more than a familiar label.
Work through the steps
- Open the player’s information or activation screen and note the displayed identifier privately.
- Compare it with the value used for the previous registration or licence.
- Ask the app publisher or service support which registration needs updating.
What to avoid

Do not share a registration identifier publicly with private playlist details. A device replacement does not automatically transfer an app licence, and a content-account change may require a separate process. Follow the verified route for the actual app edition.
