About RTL+
RTL+ is a German streaming service that provides live television feeds, an extensive library of series and films, and music streaming. The platform is accessed through smart TVs, web browsers, and mobile devices to view content from RTL, VOX, and other associated channels. Technical issues often manifest as buffering during live broadcasts, failure of the video player to initialize, or login problems for premium subscribers. Outages frequently occur during high-traffic live events or new series releases. Rimetry tracks the uptime and performance of these streaming endpoints to provide a transparent record of how the service is functioning for its audience.
RTL+ (rtlplus.com) is a streaming service monitored continuously by rimetry from multiple global regions. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds to detect outages, latency spikes, and regional degradations the moment they happen.
Right now RTL+ is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 63 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to rtlplus.com are seeing it work normally.
Common causes of disruption for services like RTL+ include backend API failures, region-specific routing problems at the CDN or ISP layer, expired TLS certificates, DNS misconfigurations, and capacity spikes during major events. rimetry combines automated probes, vendor status feeds, and verified community reports to give you a single high-confidence answer instead of guessing.

What is RTL+?
German streaming platform from RTL with live TV, series, movies, and music.
RTL+ is part of our Streaming category. You can also review current trending outages across the internet.
Common issues
- · Playback stalls or endless buffering
- · Error codes on start-up or when pressing play
- · Login loops and profile switching failures
- · Lower-than-usual video quality
Similar patterns often surface across other streaming providers — cross-check against the global outage map.
Troubleshooting
- · Stop playback, close the app completely, and reopen it
- · Try the same title in a browser to see whether it's app-specific
- · Switch networks (mobile data vs Wi‑Fi) — streaming is sensitive to ISP routing
- · Restart your TV, console or streaming stick, not just the app
- · Turn off a VPN or proxy: many catalogues block them and it looks like an outage
- · Check RTL+'s official social channels
