As per your PM All is good now. Must have just been a server issue

Wasn't sent to P6 yet. I listed the models mentioned that the update was sent for.

Updated the Image with a newer one Thanks

Guess you got the buzz6 lite lite

Great You can grab the VPN configuration from USB. Its the easiest way

that's the date it was created

Probably best to PM server details to allaboutbuzz. IF they can replicate, they can probably find a fix for it.

No issues here. Updated on my Classic, channel up / down, manual entry or from guide channel change is instant! Using MAC server.

menu/refresh if nothing new loads your supplier is full of shat

Emporium and nbs. thank you for your help, I will try to manage with what you gave me as information. Pi Gor

I also saw on another site, Buzz mentioned: Not sure I'd care to run "winblows" on the P6, but I know (from personal experimentation) windows actually runs smoother on an ARM processor, than on intel But The Ultimate P6 with 256GB of onboard storage, and 32gb DDR5, that is actually insane, and still with nvme storage. I home they added a little more "current" to the USB ports on this new model to handle a few more USB external drives. Guess we'll see. The "new" Anniversary edition Classic will be very interesting to see all the new specs. In my opinion it was (and still is) the best "bang for the buck" on the 5 series boxes, and I have no doubt the tread will probably continue with this new series.

If you have only one installed i don't believe there is a popup

Well, I just checked and after switching to external player, and selecting a movie and hitting play, it does give me a popup/selection window at the bottom to be able to select one of my installed external players (like I mentioned, I have VLC/MX and HB installed) so I have a choice. If I select "just once" when I choose, it will ask me every time. If I select "always" then it will no longer ask me, and launch the external player automatically. Since I do a lot of testing of different media, I typically select "just once", so if a player has issues, I can easily select another player and try again.

BuzzTV 5 is the software that is running on the box. What Box model do you have (B5, E5, HD5, X5, etc..) ? What type of SUB do you have ? MAC, XC, M3U ? Are you sure the issue is not your provider ? Just as a test, have you tried installing and using other software (ex: STBEmu if you are using MAC sub, or IPTV Smarters if you are using XC type sub) ? Are you sure the issue is not your ISP blocking ? In some countries, ISP have recently started blocking many IPTV streams. The only way around it, is to use a VPN service to bypass the blocking. PS: Just as a reference, for the service I use, I typically use Primary player for LiveTV (since it makes for faster and smoother channel changes), and Backup for my VOD/TV Series. I have also use EXternal (and selected VLC) in some cases when I thought the VOD had an issue.

Thanks, that worked.4 Sorry for the policy violation

We ask for the firmware and sw version for a reason Saying you have the latest firmware is not relevant What if your box wasn't taking an update and it should have??

did you try a 3rd party iptv app to confirm it's not the service you use?

it was already posted Q1 of 2025

Its 3 RCA to 3.5MM Adapter But its not going to work the way you want it, as you cannot use HDMI at the same time

I've messaged you a site where you can discuss services

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 need to pay a service to get live tv channels

I just took the update a few minutes ago, it rebooted and mine is the same as yours. Settings says 1.0.51 yet app menu says 1.0.98. No VPN option in the settings screen either. And I do not see any youtube icon either.

that update wasn't for the powerstation

V20241126 w V1.0.76 was the last public version.

Are you wired, or WiFi ? Have you tried to reboot your modem/router ? How about power cycling the P6 (since it typically only goes to sleep) ?

Have you tried the latest update that was just sent today (included X5 SS) https://stbtalk.com/topic/14395-new-buzz-5-app-update-version-946-jan-13th-2025/

A bad drive can happen with any brand. On my boxes I have used Samsung, Kingston A600 series, Intel enterprise class and Micron Enterprise class, and So far over the years I have had 1 bad Samsung and a few Bad intel drives. Actually I forgot, over the holidays I had a micron drive bite the bullet. Bad hardware can happen no batter what you use. On My PC and NAS servers where data is critical, I used top quality power supplies, enterprise grade drives, and they are also all on true sine wave UPS units, to protect against power glitches (brownouts are killers).

That is not a buzz problem, you have to get in touch with your supplier

You insert the USB key into the E2, and then you can go into All Apps and launch App Installer. when it opens, select the USB key and it should scan and find the app you have on the USB key.

you could have changed resolution on tv as well

there's only one button on the box

When he says image, I think he meant the images in the instructions. Not the ZIP file attachement. They images were direct links to images hosted on buzztv and zendesk and seems like they no longer exist for the most part.

Download option only works/appears for Catch-up if the server supports it Otherwise just click the catch-up program you want to watch to play it Keep in mind most servers only offer 1-3 days worth of playback.

No reason it wouldn't be

I'm happy now. Thanks. No need to wast anymore time. Will get a new remote - yuck. Always do.

Even if you connected via the A/V port, or the Optical port, you'd have to connect it to a PC or some other device in order to record/capture it. My computer monitor has an Audio out port (which I use to connect a small soundbar to) and it can extract the audio from HDMI input and output it over that 3.5mm jack. What I typically do is use the Free version of Spotify, create my playlists (limit playlists to 100 songs per), then create a share link for my list, and then use one of the multitude of online Spotify to MP3 downloaders online. They typically find and download the MP3 audio for the songs, typically from the youtube videos I do it all the time for my kids when we travel. They send me their playlist, I download them, and they just put the MP3 files on their phones. But you can put them anywhere you want obviously.

just installed it and it worx used aptoide

The Classic and one of my 4900 are my recorder and they just work. The Classic it is the box I always recommend to friends who are looking to get a buzz. Still the best bang for the buck in my opinion. It's also the box I tend to lend to friends when they want to try a buzz box before they buy one, and they typically get hooked right away and always end up ordering one. But X5 or Classic, you can't go wrong. However having said that, recording from MAC server can be tricky. If the app is still running in the background and it is still has a stream open, then it may fail because it will try to fork another stream, which MAC server only supports a single stream and can get disconnected. I don't know all the logic for the recording stream, but if it is always going to be recording the same channel, you "may" increase the odds of success if you change to that channel that will be recorded before exiting.

How are you trying to record exactly? As MAC Servers only have one connection, so you can basically only record what you're watching.

Only the dev can answer your question regarding the p6 I haven't done any recording on the p6 yet but plan to test it You don't provide any info on your recording. I only recorded a little on the 4500 and had no issues doing any recording from epg I've done lots of recording on the classic ,x5 x5ss and it's been flawless I'm sure the p6 will join them

The Classic is a great box and it runs on BuzzTV 5, with Android 11. The newest box, the Powerstation, is running BuzzTV 6 along with Android 13. I am pretty sure all new features (and requests) will eventually be added to BuzzTV 6. Not sure too many new features will be added to BuzzTV 5. They do add a few occasionally, but they are mostly bug fixes nowadays. And there has been no mention if BuzzTV 6 will even be migrated to Series 5 boxes so I would not count on it. Right now, only 2 boxes run Android 13 (Powerstation and X5 SS). And only 2 boxes are running BuzzTV 6 (the Powerstation and the Linux Player). The X5 SS, for now, is still running BuzzTV 5. This does NOT make the Classic a bad box, it is actually still the box I mostly recommend to friends. Best bang for the buck for IPTV. I understand your requests, and I did make the request for adding in BuzzTV 6, using SMB shares for recording/playback (since it is something I would like to see also). However to get realistic, there are feature that less than 15% of the users would even use (or even know how to configure). So for most people the features presently available on BuzzTV 5 are more than sufficient. The adding of SMB for recording shares, is not a tiny new feature. It is quite involved in both firmware and buzz software. So I would not hold my breath to ever see it on 5 series boxes. However, adding an "end date" to recording of multi-day recordings, may be something we see in BuzzTV 5, since it is a little simpler I assume to do. Not making any promises (since I don't work/code for Buzz), but this might be something we see in 2025

Group channel numbering and ability to arrang channels how we want in favorites .. theme as well

yes
