Practical fixes for NetMirror playback, installation, sound, subtitle and connection problems.
An update is supposed to make an app better, so it is especially frustrating when the app will not open at all afterwards. You tap the icon, the screen flashes or the splash appears, and then you are back on the home screen, or the app closes before it shows anything. Sometimes it opens and … Read more
A black screen is one of the most worrying faults a streaming app can show, because it gives you almost nothing to work with. The title is chosen, the player seems to open, and then there is nothing: no picture, no error message, and often no obvious way back. The sound may still be playing, … Read more
If NetMirror seems to ask you to log in, the first thing to settle is what kind of app you are dealing with. NetMirror has no account system. There is no username, no password, no sign-in screen in the genuine app, and no profile that follows you from one device to another. That single fact … Read more

Sound faults in NetMirror come in two distinct forms, and they need different fixes. Sometimes there is no sound at all while the picture plays perfectly. Sometimes the sound is there but it arrives early or late, so lips move before or after the words. Treating both as the same volume problem leads to turning … Read more
A parse error is Android’s way of saying it cannot read the file you are trying to install. The message usually appears as There was a problem parsing the package, and the Install button never gets a chance to work. It is a frustrating failure because it happens before the app exists on your device, … Read more
Buffering is the most irritating fault in streaming, because the film is right there and then it is not. The picture freezes, the spinning circle appears, a few seconds play, and the circle comes back. It feels like the app has failed, but in most cases the app is waiting for data that has not … Read more
NetMirror stops working in a handful of recognisable ways: it closes the moment it opens, it closes when a title is tapped, it freezes on the home screen, or it opens but nothing will play.
