Is Molotov.tv Down? Live status & outage reports

Service info and troubleshooting

Video Freezes or Buffers Constantly

Buffering is almost always a bandwidth problem. Molotov.tv recommends at least 10 Mbps for HD streams. Run a speed test while the issue is happening — not before, not after. If your connection holds up but the stream still stutters, switch the video quality manually in the player settings to a lower resolution and see if that stabilizes playback. Restarting your router and closing other bandwidth-heavy apps on the same network usually helps more than people expect.

App Crashes on Launch

This typically points to a corrupted cache or an outdated app version. On Android and iOS, clear the app cache from your device settings, then check for pending updates in the store. If it still crashes, a clean reinstall almost always resolves it — uninstall fully, reboot the device, then install fresh.

Login Fails Despite Correct Credentials

• Double-check that your email has no trailing space — mobile keyboards add them silently
• Use the password reset flow rather than trying repeatedly; repeated failures can trigger a temporary lock
• If you log in via a third-party account like Google or Facebook, make sure that account itself isn't facing an auth issue
• Try logging in from a browser instead of the app to isolate where the problem sits

Channels Refuse to Load at All

When specific channels won't start but others work fine, the issue is often tied to your subscription plan. Some channels on Molotov.tv are locked behind paid tiers. Check your active subscription in your account settings. If the channel should be available on your plan, logging out and back in refreshes the entitlement tokens and usually fixes it.

Payment Goes Through But Access Doesn't Update

Give it a few minutes — processing delays happen. If your account still shows no change after 10–15 minutes, check your email for a payment confirmation. No email likely means the transaction didn't complete on the bank's side. Contact your bank first, then reach out to support with your transaction reference.

Interface Frozen or Unresponsive

• Force-close the app completely rather than just minimizing it
• On smart TVs, a full power cycle of the device clears memory issues that cause UI lockups
• If the web version is frozen, a hard refresh fixes it in most cases

Search Returns No Results

If the search bar accepts your input but returns nothing, try a shorter keyword — the search engine on the platform is sensitive to exact phrasing. Switching from the app to the browser version can also help, as the two sometimes run different versions of the search index.
