Below is a step-by-step guide on how to troubleshoot the issue with the error code P-DEV340.

1) Check the internet connection

The error code P-DEV340 is mainly a connectivity issue. Thus, the first step is to ensure that the smart TV is properly connected to the internet. Turn off and unplug the smart TV, modem, and router for about 60 seconds before restarting it. This simple step is effective in fixing any temporary connectivity issues.

2) Update the app

If the problem persists, go to the app settings on your smart TV and see if any recent updates are available for the app. If the app has become outdated, it can cause problems like the error code P-DEV340.

3) Update the smart TV's firmware

In case your smart TV does not have the latest firmware, go to the manufacturer's website and download the relevant firmware for free. Firmware improves the device's performance by ensuring all the apps run smoothly.

4) Clear the cache

Sometimes, corrupted cached data can give error codes like P-DEV340. If your smart TV has the option to clear the cache for individual apps, then go ahead and clear the cache for this app.

5) Reinstall the app

The app may sometimes get corrupted, leading to the error code P-DEV340. It can be fixed easily by uninstalling and reinstalling the app from settings.

6) Locate the source of the issue

Another fix is to check whether the connectivity issue is with the smart TV or the streaming service. Try opening the app on a different device that is connected to the same network.

If the app works well on a different device, then the smart TV is responsible for the issue. If you get the same error code, then it confirms the issue is with the streaming service itself.

Make sure to check the support website and social media channels for any news of service disruptions. If the issue is with the streaming service, it will get resolved at their end.

As can be seen above, there is no clear one-step solution to the problem. Hence it needs to be resolved patiently with a multi-step approach.
