Many users experienced an outage on Reliance Jio’s streaming platform JioCinema while it was live-streaming the India vs Australia 1st T20 match. Several users reported that the viewership reached 8 crores before the platform started glitching. Mobile users were constantly prompted to update the app to access content, despite having already updated it. On the website, users encountered lagging issues and were unable to play videos. It is worth noting that this issue is only affecting certain users, as others have reported being able to watch content on the platform without any problems.

According to online outage monitor Downdetector, Jio services are suffering from some issues, including JioCinema. The issue was first reported at 8:15 PM IST on November 23 and is still ongoing as of this writing. It is unclear if the problem is regional or affects users worldwide.

JioCinema suffers outage during India-Australia T20 match

While many users reported experiencing problems accessing the platform, most received a message saying “Oops! Failed to play content.” The problem occurred after the India-Australia match had a total of 8 million viewers. JioCinema is the official broadcaster of the ongoing T20 series.

The high viewership of the match may be due to the fact that it is broadcast live for free. Some reports suggest that the problem might be server-related, but the company has not revealed any reason officially.

Many users complained to X (formerly Twitter) about the outage. Many even took the opportunity to post funny memes.

One user posted, “Is this a real broadcast?? #JioCinema can’t watch the match properly at all. Another wrote, “Very pathetic service #JioCinema #INDvsAUS @JioCinema please resolve this. Always buffer or ask for update if it is already Updated JioCinema”.

Another user replied: “Wanted to watch the game and instead got a quick tutorial on how to update. even though my app is already updated”.
