Home / Streaming apps / Max / 4.5
Likely causes
WHY- Packet loss between the TV/stick and your gateway
- Corrupt local cache / cookies inside the Max app
- Stale CDN DNS cache on the router after a Max failover
- Sign-in cookie cleared after a Smart Hub / store reset
Fix steps
FIX- Fully power-cycle the living-room stack (router + device), then immediately retry the same Max title.
- On Google/Android TV, update Play Store + Play Services, then update Max.
- Reinstall Max after freeing 1–2 GB storage; low space often recreates 4.5.
- Confirm date & time are automatic, set public DNS, and reopen Max to clear 4.5.
