Troubleshooting

I have a video iPod. I can hear sound from my iPod but I don't see
video in SlingPlayer.
Check all of the cable connections first. If that doesn't resolve the problem, make sure
that your iPod is set to enable TV Out. Go to the main menu for your iPod and choose
Videos, then Video Settings. In Video Settings, choose TV Out, and then set TV Out
to On.
With my video iPod, I can't get the Menu button to work in
SlingPlayer.
When you press the Menu button on the actual Apple Remote, it displays menus on
the iPod, not on the TV that it's connected to. SlingPlayer shows only what's sent to
the TV by the iPod.
My songs, videos and slide shows are playing slowly.
While the stream is optimizing, your content may play slowly. After the stream is
optimized, your content will play normally.
Can I add and use Favorites buttons to control my Apple device?
Yes. Favorites buttons can be added and used to control your Apple device. When you
use these buttons, SlingPlayer may re-optimize the stream.
