Sometimes the render cache in DaVinci Resolve can become corrupt. Deleting the current render cache will compel DaVinci Resolve to create a new, uncorrupted version.

Delete the render cache by following these steps:

1. Open DaVinci Resolve.
2. Choose Playback from the menu.
3. Select Delete Render Cache > All.

   

4. Check if the media has been restored.

7. Check DaVinci Resolve Version

The version of DaVinci Resolve you are using could also be responsible for the error. The free version does not support all media codecs, which can lead to the Media Offline error during playback. For example, the 10-bit H.264 format is not supported in the free version.

You may need to purchase the full version of DaVinci Resolve or convert your media files to a supported format.

8. Install HEVC Codec (Paid)

Codec issues might cause the Media Offline error if certain required codecs are missing on your system for use with DaVinci Resolve.

Free users often encounter this issue, which can be resolved by installing the HEVC codec, which costs approximately 1 USD. Purchasers of DaVinci Resolve should already have this codec.

4. Choose ‘Storage & Cache,’ then tap ‘Clear cache’ and ‘Clear data.’

5. Offload the App (iPhone only)

iPhone users do not have an option to clear the app cache like Android users. However, they can use the offloading feature. Offloading an app removes the app and its temporary files without deleting personal data and settings.

Follow these steps to offload the Starbucks app:

1. Open the ‘Settings’ app on your iPhone.
2. Select ‘General,’ then ‘iPhone Storage.’
3. Find and tap the Starbucks app in the list.
4. Choose the ‘Offload App’ option.
5. Confirm by tapping ‘Offload App’ again.

Reinstall the app by tapping its icon on the Home Screen.

6. Update or Reinstall the App

Always ensure the app you are using is up to date. Outdated versions can expose you to bugs that affect the app’s functioning. Conversely, updates often contain bug fixes for common issues.

To update the app or reinstall it, follow these steps:

1. Go to the ‘App Store’ or ‘Google Play Store’ on your device.
2. Search for the Starbucks app and check for available updates.
3. If an update is available, tap ‘Update’ to download and install the latest version.
4. If no updates resolve the issue, consider uninstalling the app. Tap ‘Delete App’ or ‘Uninstall,’ then reinstall it from your respective app store.

7. Wait It Out

If the issue is a widespread outage or if you prefer not to delve into troubleshooting, waiting it out is a reasonable approach. It’s likely that the developers are addressing the issue and will deploy a solution shortly. In the meantime, you may need to visit Starbucks in person.

8. Contact Starbucks Support

If you frequently face issues with the Starbucks app, it would be wise to contact their customer support service. They offer a FAQs page, as well as options like live chat, phone calls, or messaging for assistance. Their support team should help you troubleshoot the problem effectively.
