Currently we have a Release Candidate being tested So hopefully it passes soon and we can release it

So somehow this was taken out of System apps on the last Firmware updates Were not sure how it went unnoticed We have it added back for the next Public Firmware update Me personally, I prefer using File Browser to side load apps, as it shows file names better than App Installer In case you have multiples of the same apps, but different versions on your USB

Open VPN will be added soon. Linux has no apps for VPN that work with remotes. You could Always just use a VPN on your router.

I got the usb drive to work with the cord emporium suggested I plug both cord into both the usb ports and it worked thanks

That options only on Buzz 5 Buzz 6 only uses Server EPG right now, it sounds to me like Server EPG isn't working right now on the server they're using Only XML EPG is I suggested to try changing it to Server EPG on Buzz 5 to rule that out

Will need to look into where App Installer went And we removed the notification of apps installing on first boot As majority of our dealers complained it added to the setup time of setting up new boxes, as they cannot use the remote while its doing this

I'd change the powerkey definition to power off, instead of standby/suspend, that way every time you power up the machine, you get a fresh boot and it will reconnect when it tries to bring up the service. Yes it takes an extra 30 seconds to boot up the box, but you will save many headaches caused from suspend crap leftovers.

That did it!! Thank you

if default 0000 does not help then two choice. factory reset box or clear app data. factory reset will reset everything on the box. clear app data will delete everything on buzz app only. so shortest route is make a backup of buzztv app and clear data and restore.

NEW BUZZ 6 APP UPDATE Sent to Testers NOV 15TH, 2024 V1.0.69 Changes: - Fixed Channel Icon sizes on grid EPG for 4K Resolution - Added support for clicking on Actors name in VOD Info - Added support for Video Quality Icon on VOD Info Bar - Optimized CPU and Video Player for Better Performance

First of all, your assumption that it is the buzz box problem is far from conclusive. You missed one VERY critical fact. The Nvidia shield is NOT running Android 13. Last I checked, it was still running Android 11. This is not a negligible difference. And since not many media boxes are running Android 13, it is quite likely that the software in question has never been tested on Android 13. Tivimate is 3rd party software and this is a Buzz forum, so not sure you'll get much help. This sounds more like a Tivimate issue or Server issue. You are obviously not the first person to get this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/TiviMate/comments/xrl2te/error_456/?rdt=47033 Buying a Buzz box, and then using a 3rd party app for IPTV is kind of a waste. As Ryu said, try using BuzzTV 6 or BuzzTV 5.

I’m pleased to report that everything seems to be back to normal. The factory reset seems to have done the trick. My iptv guy is telling me he only sees one connection while the buzztv app is running. Thanks for all the help!!

Wouldn't it be easier to check here for an update?...lol

The only time I have seen that is when the internet connection is bad, and the stream keeps dropping, so the box tries to reconnect. And some servers are incredibly slow at killing idle connections so it looks like multiple connection when in reality most of those connection are disconnected. I did find however that if you force your stream type to "TS" instead of auto or HLS. it seems to not keep the connection as persistent.

Like allaboutbuzz tried to explain. You need to change the EPG from XML to Server. You can either do that from the SERVER screen, if you edit the server there is are 3 options at the bottom, one of them is for EPG Source. Change it from XML to SERVER. Otherwise you can do it directly from LiveTV, you can press MENU->SETTTINGS-CONFIGURATION and scroll down to GUIDE/EPG settings, and the first option is EPG Source. Change it to SERVER instead of XML.

I personally use file explorer to initially install Solid explorer. And then I use solid explorer to connect to the SMB share on my NAS, and install everything else from there. But, having said that, for non tech savvy customers/friends, appinstaller is relatively idiot proof. I would not have noticed it either, if I had not reset friends classic (due to hung update after reboot). It's nothing critical, but a nice to have when you are used to it. Thanks for the quick reply - and confirmation of eventual fix.

E2 ? WHY in the world would you want it to go to BuzzTV 6. Nice box, but I was even surprised they even updated it from BuzzV 4 to 5. I love BuzzTV 5, but the E2 worked a lot quicker with the lighter BuzzTV 4 so it was borderline on the edge of what should have been updated to BuzzTV 5 in my opinion. I could not even imagine "trying" to use it with BuzzTV 6.

Awesome I changed the home screen to buzztv modern and it works... Thank you

Try hot spotting your phone to the boxes at their house If it works when doing that, but doesn't work when connected to their Internet Then it means their ISP is now blocking the server, you would need a VPN to get around this It probably explains why the boxes work at your location, but not theirs Using a Hot Spot will rule this out.

install a vpn

As mentioned in another thread last week, it is presently in Release Candidate, so hopefully it will be soon. There is no ECD or fixed date. https://stbtalk.com/topic/14321-update/#findComment-36856

No terminal in is turned off.

Yes, the 4500 was 5.0 4000 specs https://buzztv.com/4000-series/ 4500 specs https://buzztv.com/4500-series/

The TV is not THAT old (2017) My main TV in the living room is a 25yr old 55" Sharp Aquos. Now that is older And the one in my kitchen is an even older Audiovox with no HDMI input (just component). Not in front of the X5 SS box right now, but did you enable the HDMI CEC options on the box to be able to control TV volume ? I am not understanding your 3rd paragraph. You say your headphones are connected to the TV. Are they connected using BT, or the side jack (wired) ? For a headphone point of view, I don't see the difference of the Buzz box being at "enable max volume" and then controlling the volume from the TV. Or Putting TV volume at 60-70%, and then disabling the "force max volume" on the buzz box, and allowing the buzz box to control the volume. Either way, it is still the combination of the 2 volumes that would come out of the TV speakers or headphones. If the headphones are BT, you could also technically pair them to the Buzz box. I do it all the time with my 4900 that I have in my bedroom. And when I turn the headphones on (usually at night when the wife goes to sleep), as soon as they par, the volume is redirected from the speakers to the headphones. BTW: Are you using a soundbar by any chance ? Just curious, since only 1 of the HDMI ports I believe supports ARC. But I do believe all the ports support CEC.

other day I had same problem as OP but then I noticed I had no electrify in my town.

Ok! Getting somewhere. I managed to do that….setting up again. Will keep you posted on what happens. Thanks!

Change the resolution on your box to 1080P then try it again

it doesn't

post your buzz model .your firmware and buzz software

are you serious? this isn't isn't the first time you requested something after being told IT WILL BE ADDED!!!

As mentioned in the other thread: And confirmed 3 posts below that again: "Buzz 6 only uses Server EPG right now" It is XML that is not there and will be added.

On Buzz 5 In the Configuration menu for the server you're using, try changing EPG Source from XML to Server If Server gives no EPG, then it means EPG is down using that Source on the server you're using. The P6 currently uses Server EPG on XC Username and Password only We will add XML support soon

I remember when one user along myself were having an issue with the classic not going to recovery mode. after changing resolution it went to recovery screen.

There is no upscaling

Pretty sure its on by default But its in Display & Sound Under the Sound Menu Advanced sound settings Make sure Automatic is turned on Then HDMI Passthrough for sound works automatically

I always use external/removable because a reset won't affect it

Nice catch, I didn't even notice that. i would never format as internal. The day it fails, you will need to reset the box probably. And if you you ever want to extract files from the NVMe, you won't be able to.

click on the link in the post above yours

Are you using the actual power supply which came with the P6, or using a power supply from an older Buzz box ? For the Audio through HDMI, try some of the following. Quick one go to settings->device preferences->Display and sound->Advance sound settings and select "None: Never use surround sound". And then see if that helps. If that doesn't help, you can put it back, and then try the following. settings->device preferences->Decode and Bitstream->Audio device and select "Decode" instead of passthrough. If the box/app tries to pass a stream to your soundbar which it does NOT know how to process, you will get nothing. With this option, the P6 will process it. I have not tried any NVMe drive yet. I do have a few new Kingston KC3000 drives and I think I still have an older Samsung 960 Pro lying around. I'll get around to plugging one in one of these days

you can use your backup from the x5 to setup buzztv 5 on the p6

Have you set up BuzzTV 5 on the P6 ? BuzzTV 6 and BuzzTV 5 user a different server screen, so you need to configure your servers on BuzzTV 5 for it to work.

why are you asking in this thread?

Using Android phones you will be lucky to get one android version update and you want three from a STB that cost 1/10 the price of a phone...

all you posted was that you restarted it many times so don't get rude to anyone's solutions to try

I thought you were here for help but ok as you wish bud

Sorry

Thank you for this. I will follow up on how it works out. I hope to hear back from the support group tomorrow.
