Issue with Paramount PLus Freezing


Question

Posted

We recently subscribed to Paramount Plus to catch up on episodes we lost when our COX CONTOUR DVR died. Frequently when streaming an episode,the playback will suddenly freeze. If we try to go back, using the "undo" key, we can sometimes get the playback to resume, but it has rewound abp=out 10 minutes. After resuming playback, it will frequently freeze again. My wife is so frustrated, she wants to cancel Paramount. Any suggestions appreciated!

Hi, I have this same issue. paramount are aware of an issue between the paramount app and the way LG caches data (I believe).

I’ve been in discussions with paramount since early Jan 2024 (we subscribed at the very end of Dec 2023). Customer service is very slow to respond each time, usually advising I do the usual turn or and on, reset, update apps etc. just this month they’ve given me 3 extra month… thanks! I can’t even watch anything. Their answer was that I can still access via other devices I.e. my phone. I’m not paying to watch TV on my phone!

I’ve demanded a refund if it isn’t resolved by the end of April 2024,if it is sorted in that time then I expect my 12 months to restart. 
 

to add salt to the wound, paramount website still says their app works on LG and gives full details of how to set up it up. That page was update in Jan 2024, after I notified them of the issue and after they confirmed an LG wide issue.  Very misleading. 
 

I would suggest logging a complaint with Paramount and see where it gets you.

Been looking for reasons why this is happening.  Paramount+ works fine on my FireTV stick but on LG webOS it freezes regularly.  I will do a full power reset of everything (Modem, router, TV, Fire stick, etc) and it will work for a while then start freezing again.  We have taken to using the Fire stick again just because of this issue. Happened again as recently as last night.  Hopefully they will figure this out so we can retire the Fire stick.  Hope you have received some type of help from Para+.

Just sent an email to Para+ customer support about this issue.  Got an automated response saying we read all emails but due to high volume we cannot respond to you.  So basically it went into the auto-trash folder.  Will try calling tomorrow if I can find a phone number.

same issue here. fast forwarding or rewinding in the app and then playing leaves the pause/play button and the progress bar on screen. Have to pause and then play again to get it to go away, but there's a delay of about 10 seconds before anything happens. the app is terrible on WebOS, it's amazing the difference between Netflix and Hulu compared to the buggy paramount plus app. please fix!

      hi, Friends,

      i have finally fixed the HDMI ARC issue.
      Apparently some people also had the same issue and couldnt figure out whats wrong.
      After reading through AVSForums, I finally understood that LG had a bug in HDMI operation as well..

      The problem happens when your TV is already sending sound through HDMI ARC to a AVR and you try to connect additional sources like dth or blueray player to additional HDMI ports of TV and AVR. Once you add additional sources, you might try to use LG's device connector setting to control the device and this is where HDMI ARC stops working.

      Solution:
      disconnect all hdmi ports of TV and AVR.
      Full reset TV and AVR.
      Only Connect HDMI ARC port of TV with HDMI ARC OUT of AVR. Enable ARC feature on both TV and AVR. Open LG TV internal app,
      and check if sound is coming properly to AVR.
      Now you Connect All additional sources to other HDMI ports of TV and nothing should be connected to AVR.
      You may use LG device connector setting to configure the magic remote to control them.

      MY current setup of TV:
      HDMI 1: Airtel DTH.
      HDMI 2: ARC connected to Denon AVR 1500H.
      HDMI 3: ACT Television(Using this to play hotstar premium content as LG inbuilt APP is not playing it)

      Good news:
      LG magic remote can control all 3 devices seamlessly and thats a great ease for customers.
      I shall appreciate LG for this.

      LG TV 65UP8000PUA
      Using the Paramount+ App I continually get -3205
      I saw a fix that suggested using an android device to start the episode and then continue watching on my TV. It works but is very tiresome.
      This would seem to indicate that there an no WIFI issues connection or speed, Currently running at 700 Mbps
      An alternate solution offered is to clear the App cache using Settings / All Settings / General / APP ... but APP is not offered as a selection
      Any suggestions as to how I can clear an App Cache would be appreciated

      Bonjour,
      Depuis ce matin en Espagne sur ma télé LG OQEE ne fonctionne plus, j'ai un message d'erreur qui m'indique "Erreur interne , Un problème est survenu, un redémarrage de l'application est nécessaire.
      J'ai redémarré plusieurs fois, supprimé l'application et réinstallé l'application mais toujours le même problème !
      Par contre cela fonctionne très bien sur mes ordinateurs, les tablettes et les téléphones.
      Une idée pour solutionner ce problème ?
      Merci d'avance, bonne journée

      Immersive Sound, Long Battery Life and Ergonomic Comfort Across All Models—
      Tailored for Audiophiles and Everyday Listeners

      SEOUL, Sep. 15, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is expanding the xboom Buds lineup with the introduction of Buds Plus and Buds Lite, building on the success of the original xboom Buds launched in January. Designed to deliver high-quality audio experiences for casual listeners and discerning audiophiles alike, the new models offer immersive sound, extended battery life and ergonomic comfort, ensuring uninterrupted listening wherever life takes you.
      Expertly tuned by world-renowned musician will.i.am, the xboom Buds series delivers high-resolution sound quality and rich bass. With this expansion, LG continues to differentiate its audio offerings by providing a diverse range of features and pricing options tailored to different lifestyles – from premium performance to essential everyday use.
      Shared Performance Across the Lineup
      The Buds Plus and Buds Lite are built on LG’s expertise in audio innovation, delivering a solid foundation of high-end sound and reliable performance:
      Immersive Sound: Lightweight graphene drivers deliver clear, detailed audio with rich bass and minimal distortion. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)1: LG’s intelligent ANC technology detects and reduces background noise for a more focused listening experience. Long Battery Life: Up to 10 hours of playback and 30 hours with the charging case across all models, with Buds Lite offering even longer endurance. Seamless Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4 ensures smooth, low-latency streaming across devices, while support for Multi-Point & Multi-Pairing, Google Fast Pair and Swift Pairing makes switching between smartphones, laptops and tablets effortless. Ergonomic Comfort: All models feature a secure in-ear fit with multiple ear tip sizes and a unique ear hook design for added stability. These shared features guarantee LG xboom’s signature audio quality in every xboom Buds model.
      xboom Buds Plus: Premium Features for Elevated Listening Pleasure
      Designed for people seeking truly elevated listening experiences, Buds Plus combine advanced technology with thoughtful design. Adaptive EQ continuously monitors earbud fit and automatically adjusts the sound profile in real time. This ensures optimal audio quality regardless of how the earbuds are worn – compensating for changes that could otherwise result in sound imbalance or bass loss. The result is consistently rich, immersive sound with minimal variation. Buds Plus also feature a triple microphone system that enhances both ANC performance and call clarity, making them ideal for noisy environments or professional use.
      To ensure the best possible fit and sound isolation, the Noise Cancelling Optimization tool on the xboom Buds app recommends the ear gel that offers the most secure seal, maximizing both comfort and ANC effectiveness.
      With hygiene a growing concern, LG reintroduces its UVnano2 technology through the Buds Plus charging case – eliminating 99.9 percent of bacteria from the surface of the ear gel and speaker mesh while charging, and helping users stay fresh and worry-free throughout the day.
      Also making a welcome return is the Plug & Wireless feature, which instantly turns the charging case into a Bluetooth transmitter for non-Bluetooth devices such as in-flight entertainment systems and gym equipment. With Auracast support, users can also synchronize audio across multiple devices, perfect for watch parties, multiplayer gaming and collaborative projects.
      And for those who value convenience, the Buds Plus charging case supports wireless charging, making it easier than ever to power up without fumbling for cables. Whether placed on a charging pad at home or on the go, this feature adds a layer of effortless practicality to the premium experience.
      xboom Buds Lite: Essential Audio for Everyday Adventures
      Designed for those who value simplicity with a touch of personalization, Buds Lite deliver high-quality wireless audio in a streamlined, comfortable form. Powered by the same lightweight graphene drivers as Buds Plus, they offer clear, balanced audio for music, calls and more.
      With up to 11.5 hours of playback on a single charge – and up to 35 hours with the charging case – Buds Lite are built to keep up with long commutes, travel days and non-stop listening. Their lightweight, ergonomic design and multiple ear tip sizes ensure a secure, comfortable fit that lasts all day.
      To enhance the listening experience, Buds Lite feature Mild ANC paired with four customizable EQ modes, allowing users to fine-tune their sound profile to match their preferences – whether they’re relaxing at home or working in a café. This added layer of personalization brings a premium touch to everyday audio.
      The Full xboom Buds Family
      xboom Buds Plus: Advanced earbuds with superior sound and easy usability. Recommended for active users who travel frequently or have dynamic lifestyles. xboom Buds: Standard earbuds suitable for various everyday activities. Recommended for users with active daily routines, such as students and professionals. xboom Buds Lite: Essential earbuds with long-lasting battery life, ideal for indoor use. Recommended for users in environments such as cafes and libraries. “Sound has always been part of LG’s identity, beginning with the first radio made in Korea and evolving into today’s wireless audio innovations,” said Lee Jeong-seok, head of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company’s audio business division. “With xboom Buds Plus and Buds Lite expanding the xboom Buds lineup, we are honoring that legacy by making immersive, high-quality audio experiences available to more people, regardless of their lifestyle or listening preferences.”
      Availability
      With the newest members of the xboom Buds family, LG reaffirms its commitment to giving consumers audio solutions that fit seamlessly into their lifestyle and reflect their unique preferences.
      The new Buds Plus and Buds Lite models will roll out in major markets worldwide from September. To learn more about LG xboom Buds, please visit:

      1 Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) Disclaimer: ANC functionality is available across all xboom Buds models, but performance may vary. xboom Buds and Buds Plus use a 3-microphone system for enhanced noise detection and reduction. Buds Lite uses a single microphone to monitor ambient noise, resulting in different ANC experiences depending on the model and environment.
      2 UVnano is a compound word derived from “UV” and its unit “nanometer.” Independent testing shows that the UVnano charging case eliminates 99.9% of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria from the earbuds’ speaker mesh within ten minutes of charging. The UV LED function operates when the charging case is connected to a power cable. However users can also customize the settings so that the UVnano is activated automatically whenever the earbuds are placed inside the case and the lid is closed, for added convenience.

      Trying to programme my magic remote to control an Amlogic OTT, however keep getting a ‘temporary issue occurred’ when I try. I’ve been trying for over a week now, so this temporary issue isn’t so temporary!
