IPTV Movies Not Loading: Empty Lists, Missing Posters and Endless Spinners

The movie section is empty, keeps spinning, or posters and categories won't appear.

Large movie libraries take longer to load than live channels, especially the first time. If the section stays empty or never stops loading, try these steps.

Fixes in order

  1. Wait for the first loadThe first download of a large library and its artwork can take several minutes on slower connections. Leave the app open on the Movies screen.
  2. Refresh the playlistUse the app's reload or update option so it fetches the library again.
  3. Clear the app's cacheOn Android TV and Fire TV: Settings > Apps > [your app] > Clear cache. Reopen the app and sign in if asked.
  4. Check the login typeMovie categories need the Xtream Codes login in most apps. Re-add your account using that option.
  5. Check storage and connectionFree up device storage and restart your router, then reopen the app.

Posters missing but movies play

Artwork is downloaded separately. It often appears after a refresh, or once the app has finished caching. Some apps have an option to disable artwork for faster loading on low-memory devices.
