From the server screen, on the top right under the Server ID, you will see an IP URL.. Ex: http://192.168.1.14:8090 While on the server screen, you go to your PC (or phone), open up that url in a web browser and you should see the option to create your servers. NOTE: Make sure you disconnect from any VPN before doing this, because if your VPN is not configured to allow local LAN access you will not be able to connect to the U5. Easier to just disconnect quickly.

the vpn is the fix

its weekend he needs some time off too. he's very responsive in fact entire buzz team if very responsive and supportive.

also don't forget m3u

The problem stems from the fact that you are using an old E1 which is limited to BuzzTV 4. On BuzzTV 5 and now BuzzTV 6, you have the option to not only move your channels around, but there is an option for "Group Channel Numbering". This allows you to not only change the order of the channels in the groups, but also to auto renumber them from 1 onwards, in each group. So each group (including your Favorites groups [yes Groups, since on BuzzTV 5 you can have multiple Favorites groups]) starts at CH 1 and goes up. So you move your channels around and they get renumbered automatically depending on the order you placed them in. The Channel number is NOT forced by most providers. They just provide a list of channels and typically it is up the software you use to number the channels. There are a FEW which may FORCE the numbering, but it is very rare. There are also some ridiculous services that also hardcode a channel number in the NAME of the channel, which is really dumb. This is one of the main reasons that when you are on support forums of different services, when reporting issues, providing a channel number alone is completely useless. Provide the actual name of the channel as you see it in your channel list. Different boxes, software and even different versions of the same software can easily have different numbering depending on how they process the channel list.

That is BuzzTV When you can explain and they can replicate the problem, they make sure to fix it. I've had fixes for some problems sent out the same day. Thanks Buzz.

Its a budget box Adding more features cost money

No it's not a known bug You can ask your service if they have an alternate url for your service If not pm ALL your details to allaboutbuzz

you can use both. buzz5 is stable however, buzz6 still being worked on to add many more features. im using both and love it. I almost have all the features on buzz6 that I want and im pretty much good to go but depends on your preferences. I would say use buzz6 and if you find issues, bugs, or need features just report to buzz team so they can fix, improve and add if possible.

I tried as u said.....woke up in the morning and still have access to play store ....cool Hopefully helps ....thanks

you asked them months ago it's a secret

As mentioned, it came preinstalled on mine also. Even if you get one that "works" you will need to use the mouse cursor option, since the box is NOT netflix certified and the app is very restricted on non-certified devices.

you're in the wrong section netflix came preloaded on my powerstation

Like allaboutbuzz mentioned, that app does depend on a lot of 3rd party external apps (and it's dependencies have changed a lot in the last few months). So unless you know what you are doing, you will have a hard time. "Advanced Download manager" is available from Google Play store ( search for "com.dv.adm", "ADM" or ecven "Advanced Download Manager" and you'll find it ). BeeTV supports one other download manager also which I don't recall, and I am not in front of it now. But you do need to pre-install the dependencies for any of the options to work. But like I mentioned, even BuzzTV 5 (which is also installed on the P6), with a proper service provider, works flawlessly for download VOD. Bottom line, the problem is NOT the box, it is the setup of your apps. However this is where I will stop, since this is a Buzz/BuzzTV support Forum, NOT a 3rd party app support forum. There are other forums out there if you need support for specific 3rd party apps.

That app uses external apps to do a lot of things Like video playback calls out Players to playback what you want to watch, Like VLC, EXO,MX But you have to have these player apps actually installed on the device in order for them to work. The app doesn't give a way for you to install them yourself I think the same thing applies to this Advanced download manager I searched for it on Google Play and its not there, so I am really not sure where its from Sounds like a rabbit hole mission to find this I will forewarn you though about downloading movies etc from apps like BeeTV A lot of times they just stream torrents, and if you download torrents without a VPN. ISPs will report Copyright infringement notices and warn you In Canada its simply just a warning letter, but in America its been known for movie studios to sue people for torrents.

We haven't done an update on Buzz 5 since January so not sure which update you're referring to?

That's a x5 not a buzz 5 X5 has its own forum

Not home to check my old E1, but gong from memory, have you tried scrolling RIGHT, to go off the screen to the right ? If I recall, if you scroll right, it goes into a second screen when you press right (when you are at the right most icon) where the setting icon is.

Sure, and posting the same thing in another thread with all the same audience is going to help. email: cs@buzztv.com Maybe you have a defective unit.

Size ? If you are not going to be doing piles of recordings or downloads, even a small 256GB should be super plenty.

You already posted about your remote in the other thread. Why waste resources in 2 different threads ?

This is the latest Updates for the P6 Which looks like you're running

Now you know the answer to your other question, on WHY there is BuzzTV 5 and 6 on the Powerstation

yeah that's exactly what would happen to me it doesn't stay inactive but once your device goes to sleep again it will disconnect I experienced that two or three times before figuring out that at least for me enabling stay awake worked I think your box will be fine now as long as you still have stay awake enabled but if that turns out not to be the case obviously report back here because that would mean that your issue is slightly different than mine if it turns out the google play store works for you going forward I would still report back Just so other customers can know that this solution worked for multiple people

Did you purchase a service? Also buzz 5 is software. Maybe you meant x5?

First of all, this is the xrs4900 forum, not the E5. Secondly, this is a Bell issue. All these companies (including netflix, hulu, disney, etc..) want boxes to be certified, in order to allow them and properly work with their crappy apps (for DRM purposes). Sometimes there are workarounds to be able to trick these apps to sort of work with limitations, but other times there isn't. BuzzTV boxes are designed primarily as IPTV boxes, hence the BuzzTV app that is preinstalled on these boxes. For 3rd party apps, some will work, and some will not, and there is no guarantee or statement saying that anything else will work. I personally don't care for many 3rd party apps since IPTV services provide me all the media consumption that I need. However most of my buddies that use BuzzTV boxes for IPTV, often also have a cheap firestick or google streamer for all those other apps that insist on having "certified" devices to run on. You can try using AptoideTV store (which is preinstalled on buzztv boxes), and you can install different app versions if you want to check and see if there is any other version that works. Otherwise you can try to find different versions at various apk mirror sites and sideload them to see if one works as you would expect it. Good luck with that.

Everyone is having this issue...lol Stop talking nonsense

Thanks. I did, but no luck. Then, I saw an option "uninstall update," and once I did that, it started working fine.

Timeshift does NOT work with all streams. Are you using TS or HLS streams ? And if your drive is toast (from the sounds of the other post you made - in the wrong section), then obviously timeshift will not work.

Got it figured out. Thanks for all the help. I eventually troubleshot it to the Ethernet coming off my mesh wifi system. Weird that it only affected my IPTV but other streaming apps worked.

What option in the recovery menu did you select?

Sale extended now ending Oct 17th

Make sure you Allow Files and Media under permissions for the apps you're trying to download from

There is no way for you to delete it. It is part of the BuzzTV 4 package and this box is very unlikely to get any new updates. The last one was over 4 years ago. It is a very old box, so don't expect any new updates. It is running Android 7.x and BuzzTV 4. BuzzTV is already on Android 13, and BuzzTV 6 on their Powerstation. They still actively support boxes running BuzzTV 5 and BuzzTV 6.

Using any File Manager app should achieve this Files by Google I find works well Depending on how big your KODI build is though, this might take an hour as its copying like 25k+ files in some cases

The other reality is, that many people do NOT use the Google play store. Like myself, I do not like putting my google account on any of these boxes except in rare occasions, so play store is not used. I have all the application apk/apkx I want on a USB stick (and on a share folder on my NAS) and I typically just sideload everything. I occasionally use the Aptoide store that is pre-installed if I need some random app for testing. Very few apps I need/want the google play store for. Analiti would be one, but not something I need regularly (at least not for me). This is also easier when you are testing and factory resetting boxes regularly

I just dug out and dusted off my E1 from the archives and decided to try it again. Seems like a small bug must have slipped into one of the last update sent out ages ago (back in 2021). There is no obvious way to switch home screens, when you switch to the "BuzzTV Media Player" Home screen . I know there used to be a "settings" ICON initially in the all apps screen, but that no longer seems to be there. This only happens when using the "BuzzTV Media Player" Home screen option. The other 3 home screen options works fine. The right arrow only works with "BuzzTV Media Player 2" home screen. I always use the "BuzzTV Modern" one, so never even tested it for a long time (since the first days I got the box back in 2020). However I did find a small workaround. It's not the most elegant solution, but it will avoid someone having to do a hard reset of the box. Find yourself a simple USB keyboard (like from a PC). Then plug it into one of the USB ports of the E1. And then hit the "F8" key on the keyboard, which will bring up the side menu, where you can then go to the home screen setting and change home screen theme. Note to self: Don't use the "BuzzTV Media Player" home screen theme Other option/workaround is to use AptoideTV, and install another launcher (I tested with "Projectivity Launcher"). Once installed, launch it. After getting through the basic setups, from the main launcher screen (under TV Apps - first row), you will see "App Installer", "Aptoide TV", "Buzz TV 4" and then "BuzzTV Classic" along with "BuzzTV Media Player" and "BuzzTV Media Player 2". Well, I selected BuzzTV Classic, and it launched the BuzzTV Classic home screen theme, and was able to go into settings and change the default home screen theme back to my "BuzzTV modern". This is an option in case you do NOT have access to a USB keyboard. I can't speak for BuzzTV themselves, but I'd be surprised if they send out any update to fix this bug, 4 years after the last update. You'll probably have to accept the limitation and bug, and learn to get around it. Simple: don't use the BuzzTV Media player home screen

Analiti seems to have made some changes for Pre-Installed apps If you uninstall it and then reinstall it from the Play Store, it starts working

timeshift erases every time you change the channel

The updates server has surely been decommisioned a while back. This is a pretty old box. You revived a nearly 5 year old thread To get to the latest software for the xpl3000, download the following apk, put it on a USB stick and then use the file manager on the device to install it. https://mega.nz/file/CQNEybab#rF2YQmvphIB_5j7KTjdKnGYcvNw4_8yHzrASAXqAbLs Credits to nbs, for posting it on another forum a while back (so I don't need to reupload it anywhere) :) However, if it still does not behave the way you expect/want it, don't expect an updates. This box has been out of support for quite a while now, and it runs BuzzTV 2.

They have confirmed it is an issue and are actively working on a fix. Timeframe is about 1 week.

because you can renumber channels without assistance from the server

There is no harm to be respectful in the response. I hope that make sense to you. Thanks.

Will try once i can and tell u guys

if you were having the same issue that I had and you don't put your device on stay awake then the issue will reoccur after your device goes to sleep It might not do it the first time but it will happen again at some point if indeed it was the exact same issue I had

Can you post more details ? What specific X5 model do you have (there are a few different models). What firmware and software version are you presently running (because the X5 has no gotten an update in quite a while - ) ? Have you tried changing the player, just as a test (from menu->settings->configuration there should be an option on the top to change player). So all the channels numbers and EPG show up, but stream is black ? Just curious, do you have a VPN available ? If so, try installing and using VPN. Many ISP are now blocking certain destinations during some times of the day and VPN is the only option in many cases.

why revive an old thread to give bad info?

just a follow up since I posted about this issue it seems to have corrected itself which is kind of odd but it is what it is I guess

Hi I just bought the buzz tv 6 last week but I accidentally locked a few channels I would like to thank everyone for their reply’s I contacted customer support and the promptly replied with the password which is 0000 to unlock I am posting this just in case anyone else has the same problem as I could not find anything in the help relating to this.
