Just to clear this up, BuzzTV G-Series is a certified Google TV device, so the platform and firmware update process is different from our regular Android boxes. There are multiple parties involved in this ecosystem, including the platform manufacturer and Google’s certification and approval process. Because of that, we cannot freely modify platform firmware the same way we can on our AOSP models. Platform-level changes must go through the proper approval, testing, and certification path. So this is not as simple as saying it is only “SEI firmware” or only “Google firmware.” That oversimplifies how a certified Google TV device works. From the customer side, the important point is simple: system updates follow the certified platform update path, while the BuzzTV 6 app is updated separately through the Google Play Store. From our side, we test, collect feedback, escalate issues through the proper channels, and work to get improvements delivered properly.

What you are describing is an oversimplification of how a certified Google TV device works. This is not a typical AOSP box where one party can freely control and modify the firmware and update path.

Hit the menu button account info and it will tell you how many streams you are allowed Not all xc servers allow multiple streams unless you pay more

Your question has nothing to do with the current thread. Reviving a 2yr old thread is NOT the way to go. You should start your own thread for your own question.

it will have it but not currently

get an xc account

you dont send portal url to buzz and buzz does not provider iptv service/portal either. you need to subscribe to an iptv service from third party and then go to server settings from the buzztv app and enter your credentials/portal information provided by your third party iptv provider.

Searching doesnt hurt either

This will be fixed in an update being sent this week or next week

I don't recall if there is an "AFR" (Auto Frame Rate) option available on this device under advanced video settings, but if it does, it can sometimes help if you turn it off.

Have you sent your info to buzz support?

Pm sent.....

The box itself is capable of 4K. I can't comment about anything other than plain stereo (since that is all I use with it), but I would be surprised it doesn't support some of the basic 5.1 surround via passthrough. However there are NOT many services out there that provide 4K streams. Many claim they do, but many are also "fake 4K". 4K, which has actually been upscaled, or bitrate incredible reduced that 1080p actually looks better. Many services may have a 4K "category" with a few 4K channels but rarely a huge selection. Not saying they don't exist, but most are not. I'd rather see a real 1080p stream with proper bitrate to avoid artifacts, than a crappy 4K with reduced bitrate that just makes me nauseous Keep in mind that the L1 is the buzz entry level box. There are no frills. Basic IR remote, Linux OS (so no app store or sideloading of other apps), with basic Dual band WiFi and only 10/100 ethernet (no gigabit). Nice box for basic IPTV use, and quite cheaply priced in consequence. But if you are looking for more advanced features, you may want to look for the higher level boxes, like the BuzzTV Classic series. And the recently releases G-Series google certified boxes.

This is usually caused by the type of encoding done on their streams (usually happens to a lot of public streams). BuzzTV 6 and BuzzTV 5 use different video players. In case you were not aware of it, the Power station does also have BuzzTV 5 available in the apps section which you can use if you want. Does your provider offer an XC stream option ? It's usually the best option (instead of M3U). You can probably try it yourself and see if it works. Your M3U URL string is probably in the form (BTW: if you do have an "output=" option at the end of your string, what is it ?) http://your.server/get.php?username=[username]&password=[yourpassword]&type=m3u_plus&output=mpegts If you create an XC server, from the M3U string. You can use any "name" for the Server. use the "your.server" value for your server URL. Use the "[username]" field for the username and similar for [password]. And then save and try to connect. If you want to try Tivimate, you can download the apk to your PC, copy the apk file to a USB stick and then you can insert usb stick into the Powerstation and go to file manager and install it.

I've created custom rows on the BuzzTV6 home screen (Home>Settings>Edit Home>Edit Content Rows>Add New Row). When I try to resize the icons in those custom rows (Home>Settings>Edit Home>Edit Content Rows>"click on my custom row name">Size) the resize slider does not "stick" in the size I select- it always reverts back to Medium. . When I do this on the default rows the resize operation does "stick." So it's obviously a bug in the custom row function.

Fixed USB-C

have you tried auto resolution?

As I said in your other post. Start your own thread instead of hijacking and reviving 2 yr old threads that have ZERO to do with your question.

by the way pushing the power button doesn't turn it off
