No it does not show up. Carried the drive to the computer shop and verified a dead drive. Good call! Thank you for taking the time!

where did you see it has pip?

Firmware v20220919 is the latest and current IPTV version is v5.0.946. So you are running the latest. I would not expect any more firmware updates since no new OS related features will be added. But IPTV software still gets the occasional bug fixes every now and then (like all 4 and 5 series boxes).

Will get it fixed for the next update Thanks

At these prices, I just ordered 2x E5 boxes for 2 of my "senior" friends. The current boxes they are running, are just so outdated. Time to get them each a real box I'm sure they will love them.

it's still good to report it in case it was overlooked

Disney+ released an update 4th, 14th and 18th We're currently running the 14th update version. We update Disney+ in the background via OTA. This doesn't require firmware updates, so that didn't cause it. Its just a coincidence I am not sure why Disney is so strict on having the latest updates just to use it. We will send the newest 18th version soon and it will update to all active boxes within 48-72 hours.

p6 and L1

I use my tv to decode have the hdmi input set to bitsream. Have not had any drop out issues at all. And i have lg 4.1 ch sound bar im using for sound.

It works for me

Its only because the box was preloaded

First thing you can do is post in the correct section for your box, and not hijack a 3 month old thread which is irrelevant to your issue. Then provide more info, like exact model of box you are using (there are a few different X5 models). You Software version (5.0.xxx), firmware version (V202xxxxxxx). Why type of subscription you are using MAC, XC, M3U ? Have you tried using a VPN service ? Many ISP are blocking iptv streams lately and worse during prime time peak hours. Start a NEW thread, and include the pertinent info. Please do NOT continue it in this thread.

There is already a thread dedicated to P6 wishlist. And I had already requested this feature https://stbtalk.com/topic/14151-buzztv6-application-wishlist-for-new-features-and-enhancements/page/6/#findComment-37232

yes it will https://buzztv.com/remote-control-comparison/

And on the L1 it is BuzzTV 6 Lite, since some feature are not available due to the budget nature of the L1.

no

Please don't post live links

I keep forgetting the anniversary edition has that bug

backup/restore came out last year

yes. reset restores your device to a factory condition. you have to install and configure your device again. however, you can make backup of server and favorites from buzztv 5 in to external device then restore after reset.

Issue will br fixed in a coming update

Buzz 6 App Update V1.0.192 Sept 4th, 2025 Changes: - Fixed changing channels for Adult in Favs - Fixed a bug with NTP time and Server Connections - Fixed Minor UI Bugs - Bug Fixes **Pop Up for Update will Appear or you can check App Updates Manually. **App Updates are separated now from Firmware Updates. **App will Restart to Install. ** App will automatically install after 2 hours of no user input. Please Leave Feedback Below Thanks

Has nothing to do with the box. That is the nature and limitation of a MAC connection and all servers I know can only do single connection with a MAC based server. Keep in mind that a MAC is supposed to be a unique identifier for a device, and as such, the servers were designed to only handle a single physical connection for each device. Subscriptions using the XC (Xtreme Codes) API are different, they uses a username/password combination and therefore don't have such a limitation. Just like you can log into your favourite website from multiple devices, it is the same for XC. And they implement the connection limitation on the server to allow a certain number of connections, depending on how much you pay. The primary server I use, allows 2 simultaneous connections by default when using XC API. And has the option for 4 or 6 connections (at an extra cost) for those who need that.

I use voice for google

Even it it did work, if I recall correctly with the P6 (BT500) the voice function only works outside of the buzztv app (I did very limited testing on voice functionally). So mostly commands from home screen. It's quicker to just use the remote to navigate anywhere I want for the amount time it would take to speak the command Not particularly useful in my opinion. Don't expect Alexa, Google or Siri type of interaction with any of the boxes.

in buzztv 5 sheduler in french Thusday is "J" but actually is "M" is y ou have a future update please correct this because y have 3 "M" and 2 "D" and saturday is S not d actually: DLMMMVD Correct: DLMMJVS tanks-you

Does it show up under settings/storage ? IF it does not show up at all under storage, then it is quite possible the drive is dead. And possibly that may be the reason things were behaving strangely if there were links to the drive it was trying to resolve, but drive was not there.

make a backup and do a reset

you have posted in wrong thread and how do we know which remote do you have?

Damn these guys are quick. Ordered them Wednesday night. And they were just delivered by Canada Post expedited parcels. And it is nice to see the "signature required" option back for deliveries. Guess I'll be busy this weekend

What buzz box model do you have ? And how many other things have you installed on the box ? And what firmware/software version is installed ? If you don't have too much 3rd Party apps installed, you can always backup BuzzTV 5 to a USB stick, then do a factory reset and restore your BuzzTV 5 settings.

Disney is similar to netflix in terms of certification For M3U, check the typing. Sometimes the on screen keyboard will add a space after a "." automatically, which can be annoying. Or you can use a PC or your phone that is on the same network to enter the M3U file path. Just go to the URL shown at the top right of the "server screen" on the buzz box, and you can enter your M3U url from the web page. I use many M3U lists, and have no issues with them.

Yes, fresh batteries resolved the issue. I guess I am just shocked that starting at 50% batt life caused such a dramatic performance decline…or maybe just bad batteries. BT500 is back to it’s normal snappiness.

put in fresh batteries

Update was simple and without problems. Some of the stuff i've been wainting for.

Thanks for the advice guys. I learned more from 2 posts than from all the gobbledegook on YouTube

in my opinion just for recording any SSD with heatsink on it will be fine. but just for peace of mind Samsung 990 pro M.2 NVMe PCIe 4. "Sequential Reads/Writes: Up to 7,450 MBps / 6,900 MBps"

Future Feature Request: Mounting and RECORDING/DOWNLOADING to an network shared folder One nice thing to see would be the option to mount an SMB or NFS share (like on a NAS) and use that as a destination for Recordings/Downloads. Also, if in the same directory or subdirectory it can include whatever file (xml or whatever...) is needed to be able to get the show info (show name, epg description if there was any, channel, etc..). That way if you have more than one Buzz box, they can point to the same directory, and everyone can share everyone's recordings/downloads. A huge bonus would be to also have the filenames something more informative (like first 20 characters of show description, followed by date/time of recording). That way when you look at the directory, you have a good idea of what the media files are. Right now, they look like random names, but I am sure it has something to do with the stream URL. Thanks.

You could try a reset and if tgat doesnt work Email buzz with your issue and device id They can check to see if it's on update server or force an update

The link to the HDMI to AV converter I provided is from amazon CANADA. And probably a nicer solution that the A/V cable which has piles of different varieties out there. Many of us are from Canada (hence by default I provided . For CAD$16, it would solve your 2+yr old thread Or if you just want to extract the audio, you could just use a digital to optical converter https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CZN4MJ6B or an HDMI audio extractor www.amazon.ca/dp/B0DSVST2ZD All options are pretty cheap.

In my humble experience DVD is not recognized by this and a few other model android boxes, it might be recognized by chrome books and current model android phone but you can only see the files on it, it will not recognize the disc as a dvd and play as one.

Yes, I actually switched from the 5 GHz to the 2.4 gigahertz after reformatting the hard drive.

Okay, I switched it back to external drive, and I believe it is better, though my YouTube TV app still stutters a bit. I think they may need to update the app. I wrote to the to do so, but I don't think they care much. The other apps all seem to work fine now. Thank you!

You can't restore immediately to the classic anniversary as after reset the box is at 940 The backup file was created in 946 so you have to wait

why don't you just follow what we are telling you? yes there's and thats why we are telling you what to try. your priority should to be fix this and follow what you being told.

try deleting server and setting it up again

Hello everyone, When I exit the Live TV app is it possible to have the PIP feature not pop up on the Home Screen? I cannot find a setting anywhere. Thanks in advance for your help!

Pretty sure most boxes come with TeamViewer installed. You can use that. Butting adding portal and stuff on Buzz boxes is so simple. Even guided seniors (non-tech savvy) through the task and it wasn't that difficult..

The pinouts are listed above. I mentioned them in my post above, and YOU even mention them in your last post in this thread in July 2023.. Honestly, even if they have the wrong pinout, just adjust which cable goes to which color. As long as the ground is at the base (only one that is important), the rest can be swapped. The biggest issue I found (since I had a few of these cables) is not even the pinout, since you can just buzz them out and adjust which cable goes to which color. It is actually the clearance at the base. I had some of these cables which for some reason the jack was longer (more exposed at the base), so it would go into the hole ever so slightly too deep. So to get it to work, I had to play with it, and pull it out by a fraction of a millimeter. I eventually got one that was perfect depth, so I didn't need play with it. And BTW: B01LAIUWJY does still exist.. Just ridiculously overpriced by some greedy 3rd party. https://www.amazon.ca/Wpeng-3-5mm-Female-Adapter-Connectors/dp/B01LAIUWJY
