I'm reporting that my issue connecting to my XC provider is fixed. Thanks

XC defaults to using XML EPG Mac uses a different method Could be that the EPG is up on the XML but down on Server method via MAC MAC only has one method for EPG, XC in Configuration can use XML or Server

If you mean cast the Live TV from the Buzz App to another device This isn't possible

Certain WD NVME require a Firmware update, because they just disappear/get deleted from the BIOS at random This happens on Windows even Look up a firmware update for your model, as this could be the case for you. WD released a Firmware update for this problem about a year ago You will need to connect it to a PC or MAC to do the Firmware update though.

Having it boot up every day is the best imo.

Did you try 0000?

Sorry I double clicked and didn't notice that it had been posted twice until now. I was unsure where to post the question. I will watch more closely in the future.

That worked. Thanks

you only need one thread and this one is in the wrong section

you'll probably have to get sent a forced update you missed a firmware update

connect to server while watching live tv try to update if still not then pm your Mac id to allaboutbuzz.

I had the same issue with screen blacking out and going back to home screen. I did a factory reset and issue no longer happens

Its in the google play store

When in the TV screen, press the menu button, and it would be on the bottom left.. 5.0.xxx Oh, and do you have you have your box set for shutdown or suspend when you press power button ? ie: when you power up, do you see the buzz logo every time ?

I have issues with EPG as well with this update. This is for an X5 box using XC login . It gives me "No information" with EPG, and scroll to 8 hours later it has a few hours of valid EPG. Weird I tried to clear EPG and change to "server" login and back to XML . Same thing . I installed Tivimate on this box and used same XC login . EPG works fine on Tivimate.

Sorry, but what is you XI server ? An IPTV service ? Is it using MAC/XC or M3U ? Can you connect to this service using another device ? When you say it doesn't connect, can you elaborate ? What message do you get ?

what you have done to troubleshoot so far? more info needed

First of all, it is not a "beta". It has not been a beta for nearly 5 years now What version are you running now (hit menu button, and should be on bottom left). Latest version is 5.0.961 For your EPG issue, have you tried to "CLEAR EPG" to see if it repopulates ? If EPG gets corrupted for some reason, it may fail to subsequently update, so you may need to clear it. Should be in the menu->settings->configuration if you scroll down to the EPG section. After you select "CLEAR EPG" give it 4 or 5 seconds, until you get the message saying it was cleared, before returning to main video screen.

What is your definition of "regular setup stuff". When you boot the new machine, it will ask you basic stuff like language, and to pair the remote, and I believe to connect to network. You can do all these, and the box will then be able to take any updates (firmware and/or software). Then when you give it to your son, he only needs to connect to his wifi (easy enough), and add his IPTV provider credentials. If you want to test it, you can possibly even use your IPTV server credentials to test the box, and then when you are done, you can easily delete the server entry, leaving it blank for your son to be able to enter a new server. I do this all the time for friends and colleagues all the time. These boxes do NOT force you to sign into services like google play, etc...

as far freezing could be isp or network related. I have heard some people same isp with different equipment (router) from same isp being throttled. so allowing url in security or disabling it helps as well as using different DNS (google or open dns..etc) in the box also helps.

Sure it is not his internet ? If he is using WiFi, maybe as a test have him try using a direct ethernet cable. Speed is not the only factor for internet connection. It needs to be stable. Fast and unstable is useless. Better slightly slower and stable. And not all wifi routers are created equal. I've given my B5 to my mom and she has no complaints (it is hard wired to her old asus router - not wifi) and have not reset it ever since I installed it over a year ago.

It was mentioned here the update was sent to all Versions of OS 9 + 11 + 13

Just checked BOTH of my xrs4900 devices and they are BOTH at 961. And so was my old E2 and xrs4500.

can do it from home screen menu/settings/check updates

Thats just the day it was built We tested it for 3 weeks before sending it as an update to the publc

I do to. All my boxes are set to shutdown. It's one of the first things I do. This way, always sure to have a clean boot with no residual crap from other apps or anything that is misbehaving. The whopping 30 seconds it takes to boot the box is not going to make a huge difference. The frustration of dealing with leftover crap from a standby/sleep/suspend or whatever you want to call it is just not worth it.

There are infinity apps in aptoid market.Not sure its the one you want

First of all it has nothing to do with BuzzTV 6 (which is the software running on the boxes). Post in the thread related to your specific hardware box. BuzzTV 6, is available on the Powerstation and on the L1. Both are very different.

Can you give us a summary ? For the benefit of anyone else who may eventually have an issue similar to what you described

clear cache and see if that helps

I have always formatted it on a Windows PC as exFAT. But I do believe formatting on the box would also be exFAT in the latest version of Android on buzz boxes. But you if you format on box, make sure to format as "portable storage" not "internal storage". Internal Storage (aka adopted storage) was a nice concept ages ago, but when it fails, it pretty much forces you to reformat the media box, instead or just losing your recordings. Also, while you have it on the PC, check on the WD web site to see if they have (or need) any firmware updates. It's obviously easier to do on a PC, instead of once it is installed on an android box.

They are not targetting the Buzz boxes. All of mine work fine on multiple servers. But many ISPs are blocking certain types of traffic and destinations. You may have to use a VPN service to bypass any blocking being implemented by your ISP. And have you verified that it is not an issue on the server end ? This has nothing to do with you specific Buzz box, and we do not discuss specific services on this forum.

Try creating a new server entry. You can call it whatever you want (myserver2) and see if this newly created entry will download the program guide.

The BT350 remote does NOT pair/program like the BT400/500. The BT350 has 4 IR programmable/learn buttons, which you can program for TV use. The rest only pairs to the box via Bluetooth. If there is any interaction between TV and Box, it would be through the HDMI CEC.

Is it a good idea to save a bunch of show, mostly series or 24/7 categories as favourites on say a B5 or any BT5 box? So like on guy probably has save 100 or so favourites. Is that advisable? I told him just get a Princess Auto Keyboard and search your series/ 24/7 and us them directly. Like each favourite is it taking much memory? What is the best way to manage this?

do you have force usb ts on?

He did say that he has tried 2 different HDMI cables and different ports on the TV. However I am not in front of my box, but I vaguely remember someone else having a similar issue and I believe it was resolved by turning off Auto Frame rate option. But not sure where it would be (since I m not home, in front of my box now). But it is something to check out in the settings/device preferences. Maybe under hdmi settings or something.

Even though it runs Android 9 I didn't see it posted in the section. Just realized it's now listed in the discontinued models section. Will check when I return home if the update is available. Thanks

Lol.. I know.. What I meant to say is the issue you describe, works fine for me. When I go to that screen I get the proper update screen with all the details. But I have the other issue I described under that.

Definitely odd. I just checked and I have internal showing and "android" which is a small 250GB NVMe I have installed in it. And if you go to Settings->device Preferences->Storage you don't see the "Removable storage" ? HAVE YOU UNPLUGGED the POWER for 10 seconds on the box, instead of just power off/power on ?

Did you try removing the NVMe drive and see if the issues persist ? Maybe try doing a recording to the onboard storage first and see if that works. Quite possible that the nvme is toast. Would not be the first time

uninstall updates

Are you sure it is not your service ? As of last night, one service which used to be very popular, just went black on anyone still using it with apps like BuzzTV (and many others), will no longer work. They decided to go a completely new approach, using a custom app, and your credits do NOT transfer over They changed a number of URLs since last October when they first had issues, and yesterday (Friday the 13th) was the last straw as far as I know. So make sure it is not your service. MAC, XC API or M3U type of server login ?
