Are you experiencing issues with your CloudBox and wondering why the music you've selected isn't playing? Don't worry; we've got you covered. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to determine the status of your device and troubleshoot any connectivity problems. We'll also provide guidance for users streaming from various devices, including mobile (iOS/Android), web browsers, and web browser auto-login URLs.

Most commonly, when your chosen music isn't playing, it often signifies an underlying connectivity issue where your streaming device isn't linked to our server. Below, you'll find a series of steps for you to review and assess whether your device is encountering any technical issues

Step 1: Device Status Check

Before diving into troubleshooting, it's essential to check the status of your CloudBox. A solid blue cloud on the top of the device with a red LED on the front panel generally indicates a proper connection and streaming. Remember, merely hearing music from the Cloudbox doesn't guarantee a secure network connection. Typically, connected status involves hearing lyrical music. If you hear elevator-style instrumental jazz, it means the Cloudbox lacks internet access, playing built-in royalty-free music.

Step 2: Reboot Your CloudBox

The first step in troubleshooting is to give your CloudBox a quick reboot. Here's how:

During the initial boot-up, the CloudBox will display a solid blue cloud. Please allow it to fully boot up (approximately 60 seconds) before proceeding.

Step 3: Check Cloud LED Patterns

Observe the Cloud LED on top of the CloudBox. Depending on its status, you might see different patterns: If you observe a solid blue cloud on the device's top, accompanied by a red LED on the front, it indicates a successful connection to our server, with media requests actively in progress. If you don't see a solid blue cloud on your CloudBox accompanied by a red LED, we recommend referring to our comprehensive Troubleshooting Your CloudBox guide for more in-depth troubleshooting guidance.
