Troubleshooting

I'm experiencing video streaming issues (choppy video playback, videos that stop and start, videos don’t play) with Eros Now. What should I do?

Video streaming issues on Eros Now are usually easily resolved through the following suggestions:

  • Check your bandwidth. For a good streaming experience, you need a good broadband Internet connection. For smooth playback of standard definition, a broadband Internet connection with a downstream bandwidth of at least 1.5 Mbps video is recommended. For high-definition video, 4.0 Mbps is recommended. To determine your downstream bandwidth, go to www.speedtest.net. Click the green "BEGIN TEST" button. Once the test is complete, you’ll find your downstream bandwidth in the box that reads "DOWNLOAD SPEED."
  • Pause or close other applications. If you are running any bandwidth-intensive applications anywhere on your network such as another video streaming service (e.g. YouTube, Netflix), a music streaming service (e.g. Spotify, Saavn), a communications service (e.g. Skype) or file movement services (e.g. Dropbox), try pausing or closing those applications while you use Eros Now
  • Try restarting your home network. Unplug your modem and home router from your power connection. Plug in your modem and wait until all the indictor lights are blinking. Plug in your home router. When your router lights are all blinking properly, restart your computer and try streaming your movie again
  • Move your device closer to your Internet connection. If you are watching Eros Now videos over a wireless (Wi-Fi) connection, try moving your computer or device closer to your router. Or, when possible, use a wired connection
  • Be sure to have the latest version of software installed. If you are using Eros Now on your computer, make sure you have the latest browser and version of Adobe Flash installed
  • Try another compatible browser. If you are using Eros Now on a browser, try another supported browser or reboot your computer or device
  • Clear your browser cache
  • Update firewall. If you use firewall software, add ErosNow.com as a trusted site

Why is the video quality so poor on my Apple or Android device?

Our goal is to deliver an optimal streaming experience to all Eros Now users. When you use Eros Now on a slow network connection, we automatically adjust to the best quality for your network speed to ensure that you get a smooth playback.

If you are using our service via the Eros Now app on a mobile device, connect to a high-speed Wi-Fi network whenever possible. If one isn’t available, try using a faster 4G mobile connection.

Videos won’t play at all. What should I do?

If you are able to access Eros Now, but are unable to stream a movie, test your bandwidth speed. Usually, if you cannot play a video, it is because your network speed is too low.

If your network speed is sufficient ( minimum 1.5 Mbps ) and you are still not streaming video from ErosNow.com, try these tips:

  • Check to see if any antivirus or firewall software is blocking third-party Flash content
  • Update Adobe Flash to the latest version
  • Try upgrading your browser to the latest version. Or try a different compatible browser

If you are streaming from the Eros Now Android or iOS app, try these tips:

  • Delete the Eros Now app and re-install it from the App Store or Google Play
  • Turn off your phone and turn it back on

  • Verify that your computer's volume is not muted and is turned up high enough. On a Mac, the volume controls are toward the top right of your keyboard. On a Windows PC, double-click the volume control in the System tray
  • Try testing your computer's audio through another application or web site
