Do you have tunneled playback or RTS turned on in the configuration menu? And Backup Player is libvlc, so it going back to the home screen means the player is crashing on that stream. And the stream format feature, is just there to show what the server offers Its default to Auto Most servers only offer TS or HLS Auto plays HLS first and if that doesn't work it uses TS We can't add more, as every provider offers it themselves, and it doesn't work the way you think it does Some servers offer RTMP, but its rare.

I should have know to do that brfore making this post. That been said a big thank you for the reply and it fix the issue. Have a great weekend

These steps resolved the issue Go into Android Settings Go to Device Preferences Go to Display and Sound Go to Advanced sound settings Go to Select Formats I think you have it set to none:never use surround sound Switch it to None And it should fix Primar player with the unknown stream error issue We figured this out via PM

Thanks for your help! My box is back up and running!

The error message you're getting is a CloudFlare error. And since you're using a VPN, CloudFlare blocks a lot of IPs from VPNs as you're not the only one using that IP address Usually trying different cities etc on your VPN will resolve the error. And rebooting the box as well.

Absolutely Awesome...Thank You it worked like a charm!

Go into the bluetooth menu and unpair the remote completely from the box. Then (using IR) go into the the remote screen and pair new remote again and re-pair the remote. Factory resetting the remote alone is not enough. It needs to be unpaired from the box, for the box to "forget" it.

Google remotes allow almost no changes They gave us a guide of what buttons we can choose from and where we can put them Same goes for the App Icon buttons Google has very strict rules We won't be designing any newer remotes for awhile, as R&D and tooling costs are very expensive. For now our main remotes will be G20 BT500 BT350 BT400 IR200 BT250

Hence why it is always a good idea to use the backup feature that is within the BuzzTV app (menu->settings->configuration) and select backup/restore. Save it to a USB stick (file it generates is tiny, so perfect reuse of those tony old USB sticks). I have some tiny 128MB sticks lying around from ages ago from some promo item thingy, and that is what I use to back all my units up. If you accidently delete data or need to do a factory reset due to a bad update or something, you always have your server info on the USB stick, including all you favorites saved for a quick restore. Back up and running in a few short minutes.

Give buzz all your info so they can look at the issue

App and firmware are updated all together ? Not necessarily. The app is updated typically more frequently than the firmware. Your Firmware is dated 2025-11-27, and App version 5.0.956 was on 2025-12-15.

I'm assuming you tried unplugging the power, waiting a few seconds and then plugging it back in ? Tried changing HDMI cable ? Tried plugging into a different HDMI port on the TV ? If all else fails, you can attempt to do a complete factory reset.

I'll contact you next week about this via PM Thanks for the information so far.

yesterday got some time to update my classic and it started to download firmware and during download it also started to download and install buzztv 5 update. during that time I got black screen with buzztv 5 logo which started to flicker. I did not panic and left it alone until firmware got completed. once that completed I got Home Screen and all good. so far so good. thank you

Thank you for the quick response. My mistake, using the wrong button! Thanks again

New Update sent to U532 and U5128 Boxes on Android 11 Dec 17th, 2025 Firmware V20251127 UPDATE TAKES UP TO 20 MINUTES TO DOWNLOAD + INSTALL YOU CANNOT REVERT BACK Firmware Changes: - Updated Youtube - Fixed Format Hard Drives Bugs

Hi Joe, thanks for posting this and keeping it constructive. On the security patch date, yes, the P6 is currently on an older Android security patch level. That’s a valid callout and we agree it should be more current. I’ve already flagged this internally and we’re pushing to improve the security patch cadence on P6 going forward. On Netflix, Disney and home theater style Plex use, it comes down to certification and licensing. P6 is Android 13 AOSP, not Google TV certified Android TV. The TV versions of apps like Netflix and Disney require certification and DRM compliance to run properly and to support features like 4K, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Also worth noting, Google does not certify every chipset. As powerful as RK3588 is, it cannot be Google TV certified, which is why P6 remains an AOSP performance and IPTV focused device. On the Triple M video being taken down, we don’t have any official information from YouTube or the creator, so I don’t want to speculate. Appreciate you bringing it up. Cheers

app update is menu/settings/check updates

You're using the exact same account on tivimate? As that app stays logged in, even in the background The error message you're getting is a cloudflare error, its basically kicking the app connection We have no control over this

which option did you pick in recovery screen?

I do and all my boxes have youtube working

Make VERY VERY sure you have the portal typed in perfectly! MANY MANY times when I typed the portal in I missed a letter, or had a space where there should not be a space, or something simple like that.

Completely forgot about that. Damn, I feel old. The last time I was at CES was in Chicago in the summer of 1991 What an experience. And the Penthouse pets walking around the floor was nice too

ces is next week

Wipe data factory reset

Once you set up your favorites the way you want them, it is a good idea to go ahead and do a backup of your configurations. It backs up your server details, favorites, and even app settings. From BuzzTV (like when you are in LiveTV), press Menu->Settings->Configuration and scroll down to backup & Restore. Make sure to back it up onto a USB stick and not internal. That way when you reset your box, you don't delete the file it generates. The file generated is typically a tiny zip file. Perfect use for those old tiny USB sticks which are typically too small to hold anything else Cheers, and happy new year to all.

that version worx for me check app permissions including google

Youtube works fine on my ss

Was it working previously ? Did they confirm that the subscription is not expired ? A few weeks ago, my wife was complaining about the same thing, and I tried a few things (with and without VPN), only to realize a few minutes later that I had forgotten to renew my own sub Needless to say, I did not say that to the wife. Told her it was a glitch which was fixed. As a test, have you tried installing something like IPTV Smarters app or even tivimate and try using that to connect to your service ? To see if it is software related ? Or if you have another device (or even on your phone), try to connect to the service ? Have you checked to make sure that there is no typo, extra space in URL, http vs https, case sensitive on user/password ?

To Receive the Update, just Press the Home Button on the Remote and wait 60 seconds it should appear I found just press AND HOLD the Home Button on the remote and wait it did appear and installed. Thank You!

Edited my post

You dont .You have to re-input your server info

Not enough room ? Has he checked under settings and storage to see if it it really nearly out of storage ? Do they use the internal storage for recording or downloading media ? If so, maybe delete a recording or 2 ?

did you try a reboot?

P6 runs on Android 13, which is actually one of the few mainstream media boxes that has such a later version of Android. And DU mentioned above, security updates end in 2026. One of the other big media box manufacturers released their "latest box" last fall (Sep 2025), and they released it with Android 12, which google discontinued security updates on Android 12 since March 2025. There are a few generic boxes which advertise Android 14, but but they are generic boxes which you can't compare, since most don't even get any updates after delivery. Most people do not use these boxes for very sensitive tasks. No banking, or browsing the IRS/CRA or other sites which they would be afraid of being compromised. They are primarily for consuming media, and typically behind a router using NAT anyhow, so rarely facing the outside world. So unless you sideload some sketchy app or addon for some package, there is very little risk of anything. And if you suspect something, a simple reset, will clear it to factory settings, if you were smart enough to take a backup of your servers/favorites,etc.. you can restore your backup and be back up in less than 10 minutes. So there is really nothing wrong for these purpose built devices to run older versions of Android (Andoid 9 and 11 are also very popular for media boxes). And unless you have a "certified" box for netflix, disney, etc. you will always have to jump through hoops unless you sideload custom mods. And you say "plex" ? What is wrong with plex. Not a huge fan of it, but it works. I have Plex server running on one of my synology, and plex client on most of my buzz boxes and it works. It all comes down to what you want to do with the box. But as a media player there is no super critical need to have latest security fixes. How many new Android TVs out there are still being sold with Android 13 or lower ? You'd be surprised.

Yes of course

Press Menu Go to Settings Go to Configuration Change EPG Source from XML to Server

When you say you replaced the battery, did you use regular alkaline batteries or rechargeables ? Rechargeables are only 1.2V each and alkalines are 1.5V each. Many devices don't care, but I find some remotes can be borderline. Also, if I recall there was a remote firmware update. If you go to the remote utility, what version of firmware does your remote show ? The latest I think was pushed with the V20250815 firmware last fall to update the BT500 to V7. Did you try to reset the remote. And test it out in IR mode only for a while to see if it behaves the same. Then go into the bluetooth settings, and "Forget" the device to ensure it is no longer known to the box, turn Bluetooth off for 5 second, and then turn it back on. And then re-pair it to the box ?

next time try to post in appropriate box forum so it becomes easy to help.

And you can do this backup, every couple of months if you want (doesn't overwrite the old backup), or whenever you know you have made a few changes to your favorites or added new servers. Yes, this comes from a backup-a-holic

While I was typing I noticed Emporium beat me to this answer. lol "That is why before I have any problems it is always a good Idea to make a backup of a good working system on a small flash drive. That way if you ever need to hard rest your box you will have all your server and channel setting to restore."

firmware and software versions?

I have rarely had to use backup player for LiveTV streams at least. It is my default for VOD/TV Series however. The only time I "try" switching to backup player on livetv is when I have a channel that starts acting up, glitching or no audio. And the switch over is just to confirm, but I often report it, and it is fixed quickly and then works fine with primary player again without an issue. The backup player is touchy. Sometimes I found it doesn't even scale properly. If you go into menu and change from primary to backup and then go quickly into EPG or something where the stream is in a window, when you try to get out of it, it doesn't go back to full screen. And sometimes the windowed version is not scaled, it is actually just a crop of the top right of the screen So it is touchy. So far with dozens of servers I have tried over the years, I have never really needed to switch between Primary and backup much. Guess I'm just lucky. Now for some M3U playlists I have, which are a collection of streams from various sources, that unfortunately, there have been cases where I do need to switch, but I often try and find another stream which plays well with Primary player. There is unfortunately no "Perfect player". Maybe an additional option like exoplayer would be a nice alternative. VLC used to be my goto player on PC and Android a few years ago. But the last 2 years, I have seen it become more and more unstable in my experience. Not a buzz issue, but since the backup player is libvlc, it is probably inherits all of the VLC issues when using the backup player.

except tivimate and iptvsmarters emulator performs as expected on the same service so BUZZ who are the premium boxes should be able to implement the same stability. Buzz emulator is the best out there for ease of use, and end user preferred. Buzz can and I believe in them that it can find the solution. At the minimum, don't get kicked out and having to reconnect. I have tested over 15 services and only BUZZ emulator kicks out.

Sounds like server issue i occassionally encounter this if other vods work it is server issue if it is not playing at all try disconnevting and reconnecting to server

Going to need more info. Is this using the BuzzTV LiveTV app, VOD, recorded/downloaded media ? Some other 3rd party app. We don't even know what Buzz box you are using.

No, the BT400 only pairs to some limited brands of TVs only. And there is no IR learning keys either. The BT/IR200 series of remotes, does not pair with other devices, but they have 4 keys which can "learn" IR codes from other IR remotes. The IR/BT100 remotes have 2 keys which can "learn" IR codes from other IR remotes. What I typically do in cases like this is set my receiver (and I have an old Yamaha myself), to about the 60% position (which would represent the max volume I would ever use), and then disable the "force max volume" option, so that way the volume buttons on the BT400 remote actually control a variable volume level from the box itself. So when the box says 10%, 50%, etc.. of volume, that represents a proportion of the max level you have already dialed in on your receiver. I know it may not sound convenient, but at least this way, you only need to set a volume once on your receiver, and then the rest of the time, you can control the volume from your Buzz box remote. PS: If you have already tried to pair/program the BT400 remote, you may need to just do a factory reset on the remote. If you wish to factory reset your remote to erase all settings press and hold the D-Pad Down button and the 0 (Zero) button for 4 seconds until it blinks 3 times to indicate the remote is factory reset BT300/400 remote manual: https://buzztv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/BT400-300_manual_MOBILE_v6_Compress.pdf

on p6? did you reboot your box?
