Can someone explain why Real Time Streaming should be disabled? It was enabled by default in my player. I am assuming that real-time streaming minimizes the lag, which is important when watching live events, especially sports. It can be frustrating sometimes when the online notifications on the PCs and mobile devices come in 20-30 seconds before you see the action on the box.

Hey Guys. An update. I disabled the Tunneled Playback option as suggested earlier and have not had any "unknown stream" error since that change. Thanks again for your suggestions.

Quick update - The problematic VOD movies started playing correctly once I switched to the Backup video player. Appreciate the tip.

The Buzz TV version is 5.0.919. I will try to disable the Tunnel playback per your suggestion. Thanks for all the feedback.

How can I find out the media player that is being used for Live TV? When I click on Menu > Settings > Configuration > Live TV, I do not see any player listed. I only get t a choice of Primary or Backup and no players are listed. See attached pic.

My player currently is Mac. I tried to switch by using the same URL that I use for Mac with m3u and xc api (Menu > Settings > Server Settings) and both modes were unable to connect to my service portal. Any other suggestions? BTW, just got the "Unknown Steam" error again with Live TV and had to restart the box.

For the last several weeks, my Buzz TV5 64 AI box displays "Unknown Stream Error" while playing Live TV at random and when I switch on the TV for the first time virtually every day. I cannot get any feed until I restart the Box. Additionally, there are also some VOD movies that don't play and display the same "unknown stream error" message but my other non-Buzz boxes have no such problems playing the same VOD movies. I have verified that my internet connection to the box is quite good when this issue happens. I have the latest firmware installed (see pic). Any suggestions on how I can fix this problem?

After the April 3 update, when I switch off the TV, my box turns off at some random time (blue light turns to red) and I am unable to turn it back on with the remote. The only solution is for me to manually take out and put the power cord back into the box which reboots the device. This happens once or twice a day. Prior to the upgrade, my box would always stay on (blue light on). I have set the Remote Power Key action to "Put device to sleep" instead of "Power off device" but that has not worked. Any suggestions on how I can address this problem?

The box displayed the "No internet" message again today, The Hotspot trick did work though and the box reconnected to the internet needing me to unplug and then reconnect the power cable to the box. @Ryu: Thanks for your suggestion. I am hopeful though that there will be a permanent solution for this problem in a future upgrade since it is apparently not unique to my box.

Is the Hot Spot button the white button between the Menu and Guide Buttons on the BT-400 remote?

I am using Shutdown. It was that switch from Suspend that seemed to have fixed the problem for me last month until last week when the problem resurfaced.

It is not the router as all other devices using wi-fi including two other non-x5 IPTV boxes have no such problem.

The "no internet" issue has unfortunately resurfaced. For three weeks, my x5 had no issues with the internet but over the last week, the box loses internet connection, sometimes multiple times a day, and can't connect until it is rebooted. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I bought only one account. I simply created a second server with the same subscription hoping to have two connections going in parallel which I now know is not possible. So no money wasted but I guess I have to live with recording just one channel.

Appreciate the additional info on the connections. I followed your directions but the Account Info only shows the Server ID and the expiration date for my subscription. There is no information regarding the number of connections. By two Mac servers, I was referring to the "Settings --> Mac Server --> Add Mac Server +" feature where I created two servers with the same IPTV service URL. I can however only connect to one Mac Server at a time.
