Strange Recording quirk

Tue, 22 Feb 2022 23:39:34 +0000

I seem to be have a real hard time with the PVR recording feature on the Buzz5 beta version.
I am now able to record a tv program, but for some reason, any and all of any program I record, no matter the duration of it, be it a half hour, 1 hour or more,
the recordings all complete and stop recording at the 00:30:05 min mark, so ony half an hour gets recorded.
I have two different service providers, and have tried recording on both, and the same results happen for both.
Any ideas.

4500xrs problem with Nord VPN

Fri, 04 Oct 2024 01:45:19 +0000

I have loaded Nord onto my 4500xrs. It works however I cannot control it. The connection page does not respond to disconnect commands.

Anyone have any ideas whether there is an issue with the 4500xrs and Nord?

I have an X5 also and there are no problems between it and Nord.

Convert old PVR recording to new format?

Sat, 28 Sep 2024 19:31:41 +0000

Ok so this is a little annoyance after getting the V5 beta.
The PVR recordings are now in a completely new folder and when you move them from the old one, they still dont show up!
As a workaround, you can play the old recordings with something like VLC but it's strange they changed the format on us.

For those who like to "tinker", I used X-PLORE to move the files from the old folder of ".TS" recordings

/sdcard/Android/data/buzzxr4000.tv/files/Download/pvr/1/channels

/sdcard/Android/media/com.buzz.services.pvr/

And the new format seems to need a SHOWNAME.JPG to match the .TS file.

So I tried to even add this manually to some old shows and it still doesnt show in my Android TV PVR Menu.

XRS 4500 recording problem: recording fails (0 minutes) if scheduled more than an hour in the future

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 20:42:17 +0000

Hello,

I'm able to record programs in the immediate future (up to approximately 2 hours), but when I schedule something further in the future, the recording turns out to be "0 minutes" long. In my tests, I manually schedule a recording (setting channel, start time and end time), and then turn the TV off (leaving the 4500 on). I then confirm the recording is listed in the "scheduled recordings" of the PVR menu. All my tests are using the same channel#, without EPG. I thought this may be related to the 4500 going into "suspend" mode so I made a point of leaving the 4500 on (after turning off the TV), and checking that the "auto shutoff app" in App Settings is set to "never".

Any ideas as to what's going on and how to fix this? Should I not be able to schedule a recording and then "suspend" the 4500 (using green button on remote), and have it automatically "wake up" to record at the scheduled time?

Thanks for any suggestions!

VOD does not work by itself

Sun, 16 Jul 2023 21:39:07 +0000

Hello All,

I accidentally selected BETA. but I wanted to let you know that I am on the latest Buzz5.

Here is my issue. I am unable to find a movie title names Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol in VOD (I can only find non-English languages...see screenshot).

But when I go to English Movies Collection list - and sort Alphabetically and page down through 10,000 movies I can see it listed. ( see second screenshot)

On other TV using Firestick , It is really simple to browse through this same list as there are no previews. But here I had to go under ENGLISH MOVIES COLLECTION -> manually page down 1927 times and then get to alphabet M to find this movie in English.

How can this issue be resolved?

Thanks for the help

VOD not showing all the seasons it should

Sat, 11 Mar 2023 17:03:03 +0000

So I'm really new to IPTV (I've only had it about 6 months), but not really technologically savvy. I've just got a new XRS4500max and the VOD isn't showing all the seasons of some of the shows (specifically The Crown and Young Sheldon). The Crown is missing seasons 3 and 4 completely (and they don't come up in other searches at all). If someone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Backup and Restore

Thu, 30 Jun 2022 20:51:32 +0000

I am able to use the backup and restore on both of my XRS4500 boxes without any issues. However, I cannot backup one box and then use that backup to transfer the settings the other box! Are these backups machine specific?

Remote doesnt work on moving left and right. Takes few clicks

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 15:04:39 +0000

Hello,

I have Buzz TV 5 beta on my XRS4500. All works for most parts but I have seen this issue a lot lately. ( I had noticed this issue before Buzz5 Beta sometimes as well).

When I go into VOD-Search-and try to move the remote left and right to Type up a movie, the remote doesn't respond. For example, if I hit the left arrow, the box is unresponsive, and then I hit left arrow a few more times over the next 20 seconds, and then it finally moves but moves like 3-4 times or even more to the left. Its almost like the box is unresponsive and all my left arrow requests get queued up, and then execute all at once. A few times I even get the message the box is not responsive, CLOSE APP or WAIT. I choose CLOSE APP but the same issue persists.

This has started happening a lot lately to the point of it being unusable as I have to wait a minute to just type up a word.

This also happens when I am simply scrolling my favorites list - and I want to move Right on the list and I press the right arrow - nothing happens, and I try multiple times, and then all of a sudden the mouse pointer moves like 20 times to the right.

Is this a known issue with some kind of workaround? It appears to me that the box is getting unresponsive. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks for all the help

Questions about BuzzTV Beta 5

Sat, 30 Jul 2022 19:24:03 +0000

Just found this forum last night, I did a lot of reading not just here but can’t find these answers.

I have a BuzzTV XR4500 running BuzzTv Version 4.0.530, 07/12/2022 and would like to test the beta 5 but have a couple questions.

Is this an update or a clean install?

Will the server and other settings still be there?

Will apps like Kodi need to be reinstalled?

My original remote died but I have a ARQ100 can I complete the setup with only this remote?

Latest firmware for BuzzTV 5 beta on XRS4500?

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 16:25:43 +0000

Hi all,

I've got the message that my MAC address was added to the beta, so I've tried to update and got the beta release of BuzzTV 5. It downloaded and installed firmware V20220106, and for IPTV version it says 5.0.653. I've read about more recent versions with higher 5.0.X numbers, but I'm not sure if those are for the XRS4500. Is that version the most recent?

I'm asking that because the box is now looping in the "Modern" launcher, saying that "BuzzTV 5 keeps stopping". It's not crashing immediately, it takes about 1-5 seconds to crash and restart the launcher (not the box). I've tried rebooting the box, but it didn't help. If I'm lucky, I can start the Settings app before it crashes and switch to a different launcher and then it works OK. It's looping with that problem only in Modern launcher. Does anybody know how to fix that? I've tried clearing the cache for BuzzTV 5 app, but that didn't help either.

Updating Buzz 5 beta to latest version

Sat, 10 Dec 2022 18:02:50 +0000

I bought a new xrs4500 which came with buzz5 build v20221115, IPTV ver 5.0.790

I upgraded my old xr4500 from buzz4 to buzz5 beta. The build is 20220919, IPTV ver 5.0.766

My question is: will the xr4500 get the update to the same build and version as my xrs4500 automatically or do I need to perform some manual action?

m3u8 playlist

Sat, 10 Dec 2022 15:29:40 +0000

Hi,

I am getting an error "corrupted stream" on all channels after loading m3u8 playlist. The list is displayed correctly and every stream plays OK on VLC. Do you think the problem is on the provider side or I need to modify settings of XRS4500 box. Any help is appreciated.

774 update and HDMIswitch

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 16:17:12 +0000

Todays update to 774 introduced an undesirable "feature", when recording and switching HDMI input( on my monitor) and going back to BUZZ, the recording is dropped. Checked it on my two XRS4500 boxes using my primary and backup IPTV providers. Anything in box settings which would prevent this? Now that I know it I simply cannot switch HDMI inputs while recording. Thanks.
