Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble playing your recordings on your Firestick. Let's work together to figure this out!

Can you please provide a bit more detail? Are you experiencing any error messages when trying to play the recordings, or is it just that you can’t scroll to select them? Also, have you tried any troubleshooting steps so far?

This information will help me assist you better!

Just can’t scroll to play them, all works ok apart from that. Have tried reinstalling and rebooting app and firestick twice.

Thank you for providing those details! Since you've already tried reinstalling the app and rebooting both the app and the Firestick, let's look at a couple of other options to troubleshoot this scroll issue.

1. Clear App Cache:
- Go to the Home screen on your Firestick.
- Navigate to "Settings" (the gear icon).
- Select "Applications," then choose "Manage Installed Applications."
- Find the FilmOn Live Television app.
- Select it, then click on "Clear Cache." This might help reset any minor glitches.

2. Check Updates:
- Sometimes issues arise from using an outdated app version. Go back to "Manage Installed Applications" and check if there’s an option to update the FilmOn Live Television app. If there is, go ahead and perform the update.

3. Reinstall (again, if cache clearing doesn’t work):
- You’ve already done this, but it might be worth doing one more time after clearing the cache. Make sure to restart your device after uninstalling and before reinstalling the app.

4. Check Firestick Storage:
- Go to "Settings," then "My Fire TV," and look for "About." Check the storage space available. If it’s running low, this can affect app performance. Free up some space if necessary.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, you may want to consider contacting FilmOn support directly at [email protected] for further assistance. They may need to look into your account or the service itself for any problems.

To address scrolling issues you might be experiencing with the FilmOn Live Television app on your Firestick, here are a few potential fixes you can try:

1. Restart the Firestick:
- Sometimes a simple restart can resolve minor issues. Go to "Settings," then "My Fire TV," and select "Restart."

2. Re-Pair the Remote:
- If the remote is not functioning correctly, try unpairing and then re-pairing it. Go to "Settings," then "Controllers & Bluetooth Devices," and follow the prompts to re-connect your remote.

3. Clear Cache and Data:
- Navigate to "Settings," then "Applications," and select "Manage Installed Applications." Find FilmOn Live Television, and choose "Clear Cache" and then "Clear Data." This may help eliminate any corrupted data.

4. Check for App Updates:
- Go back to the "Manage Installed Applications" section to see if there is an update available for the FilmOn app. Installing the latest version can often fix bugs.

5. Force Stop Other Apps:
- Sometimes other apps running in the background can disrupt performance. You might want to force stop any unnecessary apps that might be using resources.

6. Factory Reset (as a last resort):
- If none of the above methods work, you could consider a factory reset of your Firestick. Be cautious, as this will erase all your data and settings. To do this, go to "Settings," select "My Fire TV," then "Reset to Factory Defaults."

If you continue to experience scrolling issues after trying these steps, you can check out more detailed suggestions from other users here and see if any apply to your situation.

It looks like some users have been encountering issues with the FilmOn Live Television app on Firestick following recent updates. Here are a few common problems and insights based on current discussions:

1. Streaming Capabilities: Some users have reported that after the latest Firestick updates, they are unable to stream certain content successfully, specifically H.265 HEVC content. Though this issue is more general with Firestick devices rather than specific to FilmOn, it can affect overall performance for streaming apps, including FilmOn1.

2. App Removal Risk: There has been concern that Amazon may start removing certain apps from the Firestick due to changes aimed at improving stability and performance. This is mainly a caution for users to ensure they are using up-to-date software and to anticipate possible changes1.

3. Blocking Long-standing Capabilities: A recent update blocked features that have been functional since the original Fire TV's release, leading to various issues across different apps. FilmOn may be affected by this change indirectly, resulting in crashes or unresponsive behavior1.

4. Update Issues with Live TV: Users have reported facing problems with live TV playback after updates. Troubleshooting like a restart or ensuring that you have the latest version installed might help alleviate these problems1.

To address these issues, keeping your Firestick updated, clearing the app cache, and occasionally reinstalling the app can help. If problems persist, reaching out to FilmOn support via [email protected] may be the best course of action for personalized assistance.
