Vizio TV: Songs cut off after a minute

GreeneDay — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 12:50:22 GMT

Pandora keeps cutting off songs after about a minute and starting a new one to have it only play for about a minute. I listen to Pandora on my VIZIO Smart TV. It is very frustrating !!!

@GreeneDay I moved your post to the Other Devices space.

This issue is usually specific to the network you're using to access Pandora, or due to an error on the device itself.

First make sure that your device has the latest firmware by checking for a new update. If an update is available, try loading Pandora again once the update is complete.

If you're still having the same problem, then please try a few standard network troubleshooting steps:

Try connecting directly via an Ethernet cable rather than using Wi-Fi (if you have this option on your device), and see if it works better.
Try rebooting your modem and router and then restarting the TV.
Remove and re-add the Pandora app from the device.
Try launching Pandora again.

If none of those steps help your issue, we've heard from some listeners that setting the IP address on the TV manually has helped.

Note: your success in setting a manual IP depends on your router. If a router is configured for DHCP, it might not always let you set a static IP. Furthermore, you might need to know your router's IP address to fill in all the fields, and pick an IP address that fits within the allowed range.

If you are interested in trying to reset your IP address, then:

From the home screen, press the Menu button on the remote.
Select Network.
Select Manual.
Under this menu, you should see your current IP address info (i.e., IP, Subnet, Gateway, Pref. DNS, Alt. DNS). write it down.
Set DHCP to Off.
Fill in all the IP info that you wrote down.

Usually it will look something like this:

IP: 192.168.0.[some number between 1-255 of your choosing]
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Pref DNS: 192.168.0.1
Alt DNS: 192.168.0.1

Once you've done this, try loading Pandora again.

You can also contact Vizio directly to troubleshoot your specific device and settings.

Here's some info for:

Their support website.
Their support email: techsupport@vizio.com
Their support line: (877) 698-4946

I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
