Phase 8. App is streaming
Troubleshooting
1. Stuck in queue issue
If you are consistently stuck in the queue, it is likely due to a network issue or all the machines are assigned to other apps. Please try again after some time.
2. Stuck on the “Starting App” issue
| Info |
|---|
If your app typically streams without issues but sometimes gets stuck on the “Starting App” screen, this could be caused by a temporary network issue. |
If your application is stuck on the "Starting App" page and displays a message similar to Figure 10, it likely indicates that the app was uploaded without enabling Pixel Streaming. To resolve this issue, please refer to the Enable Pixel Streaming Plugins Section to enable it.
The error message is “Our record indicates Your this app version don't have pixel streaming plugin enabled. So it can't stream”
After waiting for a short period, a message resembling Figure 11 will appear. To check whether you have enable pixel streaming or not you can go to Pixel Streaming Status Check Locally Section
3. Common causes of streaming failure
(i) The app name does not match the .exe file name inside the uploaded ZIP file.
(ii) The Pixel Streaming Plugin is not enabled.
