Before you change any settings, you need to diagnose the type of stop.
In media player architecture, the "Playback Finished" event is triggered when the player’s buffer reaches the end of the file or when the connection to the media server is terminated by the host.
Unlike a "Connection Failed" or "Buffering" error—which suggests an interruption during playback—"Playback Finished" suggests that the player believes the content has been fully consumed or the stream has been deliberately closed.
Many IPTV providers block generic media players to prevent leeching. SFVIP allows you to spoof your User-Agent (the signature your browser sends to a website). If your provider expects a specific string (e.g., "AppleCoreMedia" or "VLC/3.0"), and SFVIP sends a blank or generic one, the server disconnects instantly.
The Fix:
Strange as it sounds, some users report that Windows 11's Auto HDR or the latest NVIDIA drivers cause rendering conflicts. Try disabling hardware acceleration in SFVIP (Settings > Video Output > Change from Direct3D11 to Direct3D9).
