How to update my details indeed my expiring date nd scs

Using any File Manager app should achieve this Files by Google I find works well Depending on how big your KODI build is though, this might take an hour as its copying like 25k+ files in some cases

That's a x5 not a buzz 5 X5 has its own forum

Here it is right from box itself

buzztv 5 is an app not a box

which box?

How do I back up kodi files from Buzz TV 5 box to jump drive also can entire box be backed up in case of crash?

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Never liked Chrome on the box as I can never get the keyboard to work when I use it (the curser scrolls up, down and only to the left, not to the right).

Not being able to login has been narrowed down to having Chrome Browser installed on the box Once users uninstalled Chrome Browser, the login issues went away Google seems to be making a lot of changes lately and causing issues for a lot of different things. Keep in mind Chrome browser is a Mobile app, you cannot get it from the TV App store. Could be some correlation there. Starting this week we have resorted to Pre Installing Firefox instead of Chrome on brand new Android 11 boxes, as the support tickets kept growing.

Unfortunately I've also had some problems with Playstore lately on my Classic. The first was not being able to sign in at all, and discovered that the culprit in this case was a Play Services update from Aptoide. Once I uninstalled that update things were OK. That was a couple of months ago. Over the last couple of weeks when I try to sign in to Playstore, the screen goes black! I have to hit the back button, clear the Playstore cache, then it's good to go again. That's happened to me twice. What's causing this, don't know, but I'm just putting it out there for info. Just a note, I do use Playstore for some apps, but I always delete the account when I'm finished. However that only deletes the account on the box; you also need to login to your Google account to actually sign out of the account on the box. Now, all auto-updates are always turned off. Inconvenient, but it's a work around for now.

Ok so far no other reports of this issue have come in I put a flag with support to single out anyone else who reports it As for now, I am not sure what causes it and what we can do to fix it

no I have one but I haven't used it in a long time

Are you using a VPN?

The other reality is, that many people do NOT use the Google play store. Like myself, I do not like putting my google account on any of these boxes except in rare occasions, so play store is not used. I have all the application apk/apkx I want on a USB stick (and on a share folder on my NAS) and I typically just sideload everything. I occasionally use the Aptoide store that is pre-installed if I need some random app for testing. Very few apps I need/want the google play store for. Analiti would be one, but not something I need regularly (at least not for me). This is also easier when you are testing and factory resetting boxes regularly

is there anything that can be done to fix the google play store connection error besides deleting the data of the app I'm assuming I must one of a few people experiencing this issue if not the only one because I think it would have been reported before now

I just dug out and dusted off my E1 from the archives and decided to try it again. Seems like a small bug must have slipped into one of the last update sent out ages ago (back in 2021). There is no obvious way to switch home screens, when you switch to the "BuzzTV Media Player" Home screen . I know there used to be a "settings" ICON initially in the all apps screen, but that no longer seems to be there. This only happens when using the "BuzzTV Media Player" Home screen option. The other 3 home screen options works fine. The right arrow only works with "BuzzTV Media Player 2" home screen. I always use the "BuzzTV Modern" one, so never even tested it for a long time (since the first days I got the box back in 2020). However I did find a small workaround. It's not the most elegant solution, but it will avoid someone having to do a hard reset of the box. Find yourself a simple USB keyboard (like from a PC). Then plug it into one of the USB ports of the E1. And then hit the "F8" key on the keyboard, which will bring up the side menu, where you can then go to the home screen setting and change home screen theme. Note to self: Don't use the "BuzzTV Media Player" home screen theme Other option/workaround is to use AptoideTV, and install another launcher (I tested with "Projectivity Launcher"). Once installed, launch it. After getting through the basic setups, from the main launcher screen (under TV Apps - first row), you will see "App Installer", "Aptoide TV", "Buzz TV 4" and then "BuzzTV Classic" along with "BuzzTV Media Player" and "BuzzTV Media Player 2". Well, I selected BuzzTV Classic, and it launched the BuzzTV Classic home screen theme, and was able to go into settings and change the default home screen theme back to my "BuzzTV modern". This is an option in case you do NOT have access to a USB keyboard. I can't speak for BuzzTV themselves, but I'd be surprised if they send out any update to fix this bug, 4 years after the last update. You'll probably have to accept the limitation and bug, and learn to get around it. Simple: don't use the BuzzTV Media player home screen

They must have made more changes recently then As it was available a few weeks ago when I checked. Now it says not available on this device

it's not available

then you're doing it wrong pressing right arrow several times will bring up settings

Analiti seems to have made some changes for Pre-Installed apps If you uninstall it and then reinstall it from the Play Store, it starts working

myself as well as others have tried that and nothing happens, there is no second screen for me and for others who tried it

the vpn is the fix

Hi. I have an xr4500. The last week or so i get the message stream unavailable try again later on a lot of my channels. Its an issue with my local ISP. I can use a VPN and it goes away, is there an easier fix? Like updating the player in buzztv 5 or? Thanks
