4OD / Channel 4 App 4100-RENDER-FAILED

Hi everyone,

Been having this error when using the Channel 4 app via my Virgin 360 Box.

A program will start or resume playing, and then it can be less than a minute or up to 10 minutes before the screen goes black and it says

"Well this is embarrasing. Something's not working. Please try again in a few minutes. 4100-RENDER-FAILED"

I can press back and then resume whatever was playing more or less straight away, but then this error will always re-appear after a minute or two. So it makes watching anything very annoying or even impossible after a while.

The box is connected via wifi and has no problems streaming from other services, so I don't think it's a network issue.

I've tried powering down the box and restarting it as well but the problem persists.

Anyone got any ideas?

    I’ve also just received the same message on my TV360 using the CH4 app.

    I’ve noticed this too. Not just with the channel 4 app but also the bbc iplayer app. Thankfully a restart of the box sorted the iplayer issue out but has not resolved the channel 4 issue. I’ve restarted my box twice today.

        Hi Kath, I am also having issue with this on my Tivo360 box, it started around 4 weeks ago with the adverts getting really jumpy, now we struggle to watch anything on C4. 
        some programs start and stop half way some refuse to start at all.

    We’ve started getting this also. What’s the solution as I cannot see a fix posted on this thread?

    Regards…

      Hi MalViv 

      Welcome back to the Community Forum. 

      Sorry to hear you're experiencing an issue with 4OD. Is this on your TV360 set-top box?

      If so, are you able to access the app on another device to see if this is working?

      Does rebooting the set-top fully resolve the issue at all?

      Any further details on what you're experiencing on your side would help us look into this further for you.

    I regularly get this, using the C4 app on my 360 and my Samsung TV. I reported it to the C4 team who never did get back to me.

      Hello kristina333,

      Welcome to the community and thanks for taking the time to post here on the forums. I’m sorry to hear that you're having the same issues as wooj. 

      Have you tried to reboot your TV box since the issues started?

      Are you able to access the Channel 4 app via other devices?

      Are you able to access the Channel 4 app on a mobile device via mobile data?

      Kind Regards,

      Steven_L

    This has happened to me frequently. I have a wired connection and 500 Mb broadband. The fault must be the Channel 4 app's. It became so annoying that I now avoid watching the app. None of the other streaming services I watch via Virgin suffer from this.

        I had this problem yesterday and today when I've tried to start watching 'Skins' on 4. I cannot get any further and thought perhaps the series was no longer available but found I can watch it on my phone. Tried rebooting but I just get the same message.

        Why is there no fix for this random problem. All other apps are fine and ive watched other programmes on 4 so itdoes make sense.
