HBO Max是一个很棒的流媒体服务，提供了一些最好的节目(best programming available)（朋友，有人吗？），但它并非没有缺陷。流媒体有时会决定无限缓冲或在剧集中途暂停，不再继续。
好消息是您可以解决这些问题。它们可能与您的互联网连接、HBO Max应用程序版本或其他内容有关，但一些快速修复可以让您立即恢复观看您喜爱的节目而不会中断。
1.检查HBO Max的状态
您应该做的第一件事是检查HBO Max是否正常工作。最简单的方法是通过DownDetector。只需(Just)在搜索栏中输入HBO Max 。结果页面将告诉您是否有人在使用HBO Max时遇到问题。如果看起来HBO Max服务器已关闭，您可以报告它们的来源。
2.检查您的连接速度
缓冲问题的主要原因之一是缺乏互联网速度(lack of internet speed)。HBO Max建议最低下载速度至少为 5 Mbps ，但对于 4K 流媒体，最高下载速度可高达 50 Mbps或更高。(Mbps)您可以通过多种方式检查您的连接速度，但最简单的是通过Speedtest.org。这是一个免费的全球速度测试工具。
3.重新启动您的设备

4. 减少带宽负载
所有流媒体应用（包括Netflix、Hulu等）都需要足够的带宽(require sufficient bandwidth)。这与您的互联网速度不同。把它想象成一条高速公路；虽然可能有 5 条车道，但如果所有 5 条车道都拥堵，那么任何人都无法快速行驶。玩在线游戏、下载内容和其他高强度活动会减少您的可用带宽，并导致HBO Max缓冲时间超过应有的时间。
如果这是一个问题，请尝试仅在您的网络上流式传输视频。关闭当前正在占用带宽的任何其他设备。
5.使用以太网电缆
Wi-Fi很方便，但并不总是最快的选择。例如，如果您的路由器在另一个房间中，或者它与您的智能电视（或Roku或您用于流式传输的任何设备）之间有障碍物，它可能无法获得所需的速度。因此，请尝试有线连接。以太网(Ethernet)电缆可消除干扰，并为您提供与路由器的最稳定连接。
6. 更新 HBO Max
如果您通过手机或平板电脑流式传输HBO Max，请确保您使用的是最新版本的应用程序。过时的版本可能会导致多个流问题和更频繁的崩溃。虽然大多数Android和 iOS 设备会自动更新，但您可以随时查看。如果您在应用列表中

7.清除浏览器缓存
如果您通过浏览器进行流式传输，则问题可能出在 cookie 上。如果您认为其中一个可能已损坏，最简单的解决方案是清除您的缓存(clear your cache)。有多种方法可以做到这一点。
- 在Google Chrome上，转到History > Clear浏览数据。
- 选择Cookie(Cookies)和其他站点数据以及缓存(Cached)的图像和文件。
- 选择清除数据。

- 在Safari上，选择Safari > Develop。
- 选择空缓存。
这里的所有都是它的。它既快速又简单，可以清除您的网络浏览器中的任何 cookie 和网站数据。
8.禁用你的VPN
浏览互联网时，网络安全(Cybersecurity)至关重要，但您的VPN有时会导致流媒体出现问题。如果您在流式传输时发现 HBO Max无法正常工作，请尝试关闭您的VPN。当您不再看电视时，您可以重新启用安全性。
9.卸载HBO Max
如果这些其他解决方案都没有解决问题，那么源可能存在于下载中的故障中。在尝试播放任何视频之前，请先卸载并重新安装HBO Max 。这可能令人沮丧，尤其是因为它会迫使您退出帐户，但这是在HBO Max(HBO Max)不断缓冲
时修复的可靠方法之一。

HBO Max Keeps Buffering? 9 Ways to Fix
HBO Max is a fantastic strеaming servіce with some of the best programming available (Friends, anyone?), but it isn’t without its flaws. Streaming sometimes decides to buffer infinitely or pause halfway through an episode, never to resume again.
The good news is that you can fix these problems. They might lie with your internet connection, version of the HBO Max app, or something else, but a few quick fixes can get you right back to watching your favorite show without interruption.
1. Check HBO Max’s Status
The first thing you should do is check whether HBO Max is working. The easiest way to do this is through DownDetector. Just type HBO Max into the search bar. The results page will tell you if anyone is having problems with HBO Max. If it looks like the HBO Max servers are down, you can report where they originate from.
2. Check Your Connection Speed
One of the leading causes of buffering issues is a lack of internet speed. HBO Max recommends a minimum download speed of at least 5 Mbps, but as high as 50 Mbps or more for 4K streaming. You can check your connection speed in multiple ways, but the easiest is to go through Speedtest.org. It’s a free, global speed test tool.
3. Restart Your Device
The old advice of “turn it off and back on again” still holds in 2022. One of the easiest fixes is rebooting your streaming device, whether that’s your phone, computer, or streaming stick. Turn it off for at least sixty seconds and then back on before you try streaming again.
4. Reduce Your Bandwidth Load
All streaming apps (including Netflix, Hulu, etc.) require sufficient bandwidth. This is different from your internet speed. Think of it like a highway; while there may be five lanes, no one is going anywhere fast if all five lanes are congested. Playing online games, downloading content, and other high-intensity activities can reduce your available bandwidth and result in HBO Max buffering longer than it should.
If this is a problem, try only streaming video on your network. Turn off any other devices that are currently sucking up bandwidth.
5. Use an Ethernet Cable
Wi-Fi is convenient, but it isn’t always the fastest option. For example, if your router is in another room or there are obstacles between it and your smart TV (or Roku, or whatever device you use for streaming), it might not receive the speeds it needs. So instead, try a wired connection. An Ethernet cable eliminates interference and gives you the most stable connection possible to your router.
6. Update HBO Max
If you’re streaming HBO Max through your phone or tablet, make sure you’re using the latest version of the app. Out-of-date versions can result in multiple streaming problems and more frequent crashing. While most Android and iOS devices update automatically, you can always check. If you see the Update button beside HBO Max in your app list, tap it to force an update.
7. Clear Your Browser Cache
If you’re streaming through a browser, the problem might lie with a cookie. If you think one might have been corrupted, the easiest solution is to clear your cache. There are multiple ways to do this.
- On Google Chrome, go to History > Clear browsing data.
- Select Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files.
- Select Clear data.
You’ll need to sign back into your HBO Max account after you do this, but it can be an easy solution to streaming problems.
- On Safari, select Safari > Develop.
- Select Empty Caches.
That’s all there is to it. It is quick and simple and will clear your web browser of any cookies and website data.
8. Disable Your VPN
Cybersecurity is essential when browsing the internet, but your VPN can sometimes cause problems with streaming. If you find HBO Max doesn’t work right when you stream, try turning off your VPN. You can re-enable your security when you’re no longer watching TV.
9. Uninstall HBO Max
If none of these other solutions have solved the problem, then the source might lie in a glitch in the download. Uninstall and then reinstall HBO Max before you try any video playback. This can be frustrating, especially since it forces you to sign out of your account, but it’s one of the sure-fire ways to fix when HBO Max keeps buffering.
Reboot Your Entertainment
Don’t give up when you want to watch HBO Max or your favorite TV shows and the service isn’t working. All it takes is a quick restart of your streaming device, a check that the service provider is functional, or a few other simple troubleshooting steps, and you can be back to streaming in no time.
