How to Fix Error 8001 on JioCinema
Recently during the Women’s Premier League, many Jiocinema app users suddenly saw this error –
Error Code: 8001, Reason: ERROR_CODE_IO_UNSPECIFIED, Cause: com.google.android.exoplayer2.source.hls.playlist.HlsPlaylistTracker$PlaylistStuckException
This is the solution provided by the Jiocinema Support team –
Hi! Kindly uninstall and reinstall the app. If the issue persists DM the device details, OS version, a screenshot of the ‘More’ tab and a short video of the error for us to investigate.
— JioCinema Care (@JioCinema_Care) March 26, 2023
That means you simply need to uninstall and reinstall the Jiocinema app on your Smartphone or Android Smart TV to fix this error.
However, according to me, this was due to the high load on the server since many users were seeing the “Webpage not available” error at the bottom of the screen. This issue was later fixed automatically after the server came back online.
Contact Customer Support Of Jio
If none of the previously mentioned solutions work for you, the last resort is to reach out for assistance through official email or social media channels. You can share the issue along with a screenshot or video and request a repair. They have solutions for all JioCinema App 8001 errors on Smart TV, ensuring resolution for all the issues.
Customers often encounter more significant problems like “Jio Cinema App Not Loading,” “Jio Cinema Not Showing IPL,” “Jio Cinema App Stuck on Loading,” “Jio Cinema Showing IPL in Low-Quality Problem,” and “Jio Cinema App Login Problems.” It’s quite likely that JioCinema has solutions for these issues as well.
Unable to Live Stream in 4K Quality
Jiocinema is offering free live streaming at 4K quality during IPL matches. However, some people are unable to use this feature.
According to Jiocinema, you need to first make sure that your Android Smart TV actually supports 4K viewing. In India, households usually have 1080p support TVs. 4K TVs are a little bit on the mid to high-end range smart televisions. Although Jiocinema devs are trying hard to provide a 4 K-like experience to normal devices.
If your TV does in fact have 4K streaming support then you need to uninstall the app and download the latest version from the Google Play Store app.
Something Went Wrong 8004 Error Fix
This error is also a server-related issue that comes when a high amount of people are watching the match at a time.
Oops. Something went wrong. Click to refresh.
Error com.media.jvplayer.error.JVPlayerError$ExceptionType$Player@2c3eb72
To fix this issue, the app suggests to “Click to Refresh” option. But this will just recheck whether the server is back online or not. All you can do is wait for them to upscale their servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
During the TATA IPL 2023 first match, many people faced different kinds of issues, and here is the solution and cause for each issue-
1. Changing language only changes the text on the screen but not the audio of the commentary. How to fix this issue?
To fix the language change issue, press the back button on the smartphone or TV remote. Again open the IPL match and then switch to your preferred language to get the correct audio in commentary.
2. How to fix the Frame Drop issue?
There was a huge FPS drop during the match. It looked like you were watching a frame-by-frame view of the match. I faced it personally and to fix it, I changed my audio language to Bhojpuri where it worked very smoothly and the commentators were hilarious. This error was occurring mainly in the English audio version due to heavy traffic.
3. Solution to fix no audio or commentator voice.
While watching the match, randomly audio of the commentator got muted or no audio was coming at all from the match. The general fix for this issue is to change language to some other language and switch back or to change the camera angle and come back to the main cam.
