3 Tips to Improve the Performance of Jio TV

Kodi is generally a very smooth and fast application. However, the Jio TV add-on doesn’t really work well on it. Here are some tips to improve Jio TV’s overall performance and make your viewing experience better

1. Clear Cache

The cache of different add-ons can build up over time and corrupt some files. It can also slow down the Kodi app. So, it’s best to clear the cache weekly or monthly – depending on how often you use the app. 

Here’s how to do it:

Open Kodi > go to Settings > click on the Gear Icon > open File Manager > select Profile Directory > select Database Directory > right-click on Addons. db > select Delete.  

2. Check your Internet speed

Users with 5 to 10Mbps internet plans experience a lot of buffering on Jio TV. This is because the internet’s speed is incapable of supporting multiple devices, especially streaming HD content. 

It’s recommended to upgrade to at least 15 to 25Mbps plans for streaming Jio TV on Kodi. Or if you want to stream 4K content, go for higher plans like 40 to 100Mbps

3. Update Jio TV Add-on 

Add-ons are automatically updated on Kodi. However, if you have changed the settings, you may want to check whether your Jio TV add-on is updated to the latest version or not. To do so, follow these steps:

Open Kodi > Go to Add-ons > Click on Available Updates > Select the Add-on (JioTV)
