Right now just Android 9 Should get rolled out to Android 11 tomorrow or Wed The update was just to update the Weather Widget though, as that company required some API changes.

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

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

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.

New Update B5 Jan 19th, 2026 Firmware V20251231 UPDATE TAKES UP TO 20 MINUTES TO DOWNLOAD + INSTALL YOU CANNOT REVERT BACK Firmware Changes: - Updated Youtube Please Leave Feedback Below Thanks

There will be a Firmware update soon for the B5s to fix youtube.

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.

have you tried wipe cache partition first before factory reset?

I tried last night using an Anker Soundcore BT speaker, another cheap chinese no name brand one, and my Poly Voyager 2 headsets, and with all 3 the result was the same. When using BuzzTV 6, things were all slightly out of sync. Watching same programs/streams On BuzzTV 5 (on the P6), everything was perfectly in sync. Also Tested on some VOD, and using the internal player of BuzzTV 6, movies were slightly out of sync also, but using external player (I used MX Player), everything was in sync. I will try to test a few more BT devices on the weekend.

I'm not in front of my device right now, but have you gone into the settings, apps, and looked for the playstore app and then brining it up and doing a "clear storage" on it ? It's not like you will lose anything on it Maybe there is something corrupted in it's app storage.

WHAT !!!! The only situation where play store is "needed" is when you have purchased an app and you want to install legit version. Nearly EVERY app can be downloaded from piles of different APK mirrors. I install EVERY app directly from APK versions stored on my NAS server. In some cases you need to use custom installers since they are xapk files now, but it can all be done.

why would it not allow you? https://gizmodo.com/download/google-playstore-179-download just did it from here with zero issues

usb stick, flash drive, or external drive.

Try using Fast Login for Login Type instead of Default

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.

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!

I am away from home right now, but there is typically an option in the settings, which is essentially "Force MAX Volume". Find it in the settings, or buzz utilities and disable it. Then the box will output variable volume and allow to be controlled by the remote.

do you have E5?

Is it Bluetooth? Can you send me the link to this product so I can buy it. Thanks

Have you contacted anyone at buzz?

I'm assuming you have unplugged the power on the unit for a few seconds and then tried to plug it back in ? Just as a test, have you tried plugging it into a different TV/Display ? If you have a computer monitor that has an HDMI input, maybe as test just try to plug it into that.

Yes of course

If you have a backup with your old URL, Username and password you could still use that one. All you would have to do is edit that backup once restored, with your new URL, username and password. That way if you had all your channels backed up in your old backup all your channels and favorite channels would be restored. I just went through this with one of my servers that changed to a new URL.

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

can not load portal does not mean its no longer useable. did you contact your service provider?

All electronic items can go defective. Doesn't take much. One bad bit in a memory chip can kill any device. And it can happen for a variety of reasons. Even a simple static discharge, if you are unlucky, can do it. My E2 (and many other buzztv boxes I have) has taken dozens of updates over the years, and so far I have not had any issues with any of them.
