for the last several months i have had no issues using the latest version of AceStream Media on android TV and then also using Ace Stream Engine. Today Acestream Media after watching for 5 minutes would ask me to login to my premium account. and then if i switched to just use ace stream engine and use VLC on my android TV . the feed would just stop and force close after 5 minutes. My question is ? for android TV is it now requiring us to have Premium Acestream? or is this a bug. and if it is a bug how can i fix it because i have tried the latest ace stream Media (AceStreamMedia 3.1.80) and i tried AceStream Engine ( AceStreamCore 3.1.80) and it gave me this issue. When i tried to use AceStream Pro ---

The current stable release version of Ace Stream for Android TV is 3.2.13.0. You can use Ace Stream for free (without purchasing Premium) to watch live streams through the built-in Ace Player included in the app. However, if you want to play streams through other applications or external players (such as VLC), then a Premium subscription is required. For all previous releases of Ace Stream — including Ace Stream Engine and Ace Stream Media 3.1.80 — Premium has now been made mandatory for live streaming. This means that what was previously accessible for free in these versions now requires a Premium account. We strongly recommend updating to the current version (3.2.13.0), because in most earlier Android builds there were UPnP-related issues that negatively affected the operation of the P2P network and the overall stability of streams. To maintain a smooth and reliable experience for everyone, we encourage users to move to the current version. Gradually, the use of older builds will be limited, helping to keep the network stable and efficient for all users. ---

can you please provide me a link to this 3.2.13.0 because on the links in the product page : [Products - Ace Stream DAO](https://docs.acestream.net/products/#ace-stream-engine-for-android-tv) for stable version release i do not see 3.2.13.0. and am i understanding you correctly. so if i use an acestream search site or if i am running docker and hosting my own streams (live tv) and if i want to put them on my android TV now i need a premium account. because i tried it from my computer and everything still works fine . by the way i did try to load on my tv (AceStream-3.2.11.10-base.apk) and it crashed it doesn’t load the app. ---

You can currently install version 3.2.13.0 directly from Google Play. A Pro (.apk) version will also be available for manual installation a bit later (within the day). And just to clarify once again: You can watch live streams absolutely free (without purchasing Premium) when playback is done through the built-in Ace Player in the app. However, playback through external players is available only with a Premium account. Please try installing Ace Stream from the Google Play Store to make sure there are no installation issues on your device with the new version. ---

**Hi Rickp4000,** The app doesn’t rely on Google services and should work fine without them. To help us understand the issue better, could you please share a few more details? - Does the app **crash immediately on startup** , or does it **launch and then crash later**? - If it **starts successfully** , please send us a **bug report** from within the app. Include your nickname ( **Rickp4000** ) in the comments and let us know here once you’ve submitted it. - If it **crashes on startup** , what exactly happens? Does nothing appear on the screen, or do you see any error messages or visual glitches? A screenshot would also be helpful if possible. Thanks for your help! ---

i click on the acestream logo (this is from the downloaded apk file from the website , since i have no google services and can’t download from playstore on my xiaomi TV(china) ). then nothing happens nothing opens. one time i did try clicking it again it forced the screen to black but then that was it. i could click the home button and go back to my dashboard so it wasn’t a crash really. i will say though on version 3.1.8.0 the acestream tv ([https://download.acestream.media/products/android-tv/acestream-core/armv7/latest](https://download.acestream.media/products/android-tv/acestream-core/armv7/latest) ) this worked fine no issues loaded up with no problems but sadly we can no longer use this because its outdated and requires premium to use. ---

Hello, I have an account on Ace Stream, even though it’s free. Previously, I could watch TV after launching the channel. Now, when I want to watch TV, it tells me to buy a premium account. Have you changed your policy regarding the program, requiring you to buy premium? It’s the same on older versions. Please reply. ---

Cant load any stream. Ace Stream Engine 3.1.80 asks for premium at start. Couple weeks ago it worked fine but with 5 min break, now its broken. What happened? ---

I hope you’ll return to the old free version someday, after fixing some bugs in the old version. But obviously, it depends only on you and your policies. In my opinion, the old version of Ace Stream was fine and I could watch it well on my phone. Regards.
