Hi there! I understand your 5-0 Radio Police Scanner app was working fine for years but now it just spins and doesn't receive any channels, even after resetting your computer and channel. Let’s try to get you listening again.
To start off, could you please clarify a couple of things for me?
- Are you using the 5-0 Radio Police Scanner app on your Windows device via a specific WebKit browser or another app interface?
- When you say "reset the channel," do you mean you removed and re-added the channels in the app, or did you do some software reset?
- Are you connected to the internet normally and able to access other streaming or content apps?
In the meantime, here are some troubleshooting steps geared to your Windows 10 environment and WebKit browsing setup:
1. Check Internet Connection: Since the scanner uses internet streams, ensure you have a stable connection. Try accessing a few websites or other streaming apps to confirm.
2. Clear Browser Cache & Cookies: Sometimes cached data can block app functionality. In your WebKit browser, clear cache, cookies, and restart the browser.
3. App Updates: If using a native app or web app version, check if there are any updates available. Outdated app versions can stop working properly.
4. Firewall/Antivirus Settings: Windows Defender or other security software might block streams. Temporarily disable them and check if scanning resumes.
5. Re-add Channels: Delete previously saved channels and add them fresh from scratch in the app or website.
6. Test Alternative Scanners: Try streaming police scanner channels from a different app or website on your PC or phone to verify if the issue lies with the source or your setup.
If none of these steps fix the issue, the problem might be on the server or feed provider side, which sometimes occurs due to changes in licensing, stream availability, or app backend updates.
Let me know if you've tried any of these or if you can provide more details. I’m here to help you get back up and running! Are you able to share what you’ve tried so far beyond the reset?
