Once again, useless answer which serves 0 purpose. It was very clear, there is no hard limit. Can you please stop reviving month old posting with irrelevant replies.

Sometimes the Device ID changes for MAC subscriptions when you reset Just contact your server provider and ask them to reset the MAC on their side. Should start working afterwards

Big letters at the top APP SETTINGS What else do they need to say??

953 is latest for Android 9 and 954 is for Android 11 Was one crash that appeared in 11 but not 9 And Buzz 5 app updates have nothing to do with Youtube I already explained this to the user via PM Google is blocking older devices for Youtube, we have no control Were fixing it on Android 11 devices.

Thanks again for the help, I think I have it under control now! Have a great evening and holiday!!

enjoy the weekend editing that

Completely USELESS response. The original user did not ever come back to say what his issue was. When the original post says "some programs sound very loud, some soft, others no sound", that has nothing to do with any setting the buzz box can change. That has to do with the server itself and lack of any volume normalization over the various channel encoding. Regurgitating AI generated irrelevant replies has no value and will just confuse people looking for real answers.

There is already a thread for feature requests. You don't need to create a new one. It is the first Sticky on the Powerstation thread. https://stbtalk.com/topic/14151-buzztv6-application-wishlist-for-new-features-and-enhancements/

I would not hold my breath on getting a 3rd party remote to work. Buzz will support all buzz products, not using 3rd party devices with it's boxes. I'm assuming you tried to pair the remote already ? Did you put the remote in pairing mode (for onn remote, I think you need to press and hold the home and back button for a few seconds to put remote in pairing mode), and then on your buzz box go into remote and accessories and try to pair a new remote. There is no magic above and beyond that. And even if it pairs, nothing says it will work, since the codes may all be different. I have had some limited success with the cheap "MX3 remotes" you can typically find on amazon. They use a USB receiver you plug into any box (so you need to have a USB port - so not for smaller sticks and boxes which don't have a USB port). They work for the most part, but some keys are mapped differently (like menu and back). And don't expect any of the colored keys to work. May as well get a new Buzz remote (either the same as you had), or one of their ARQ series remotes. The ARQ-2xx series looks pretty much like the generic "MX3 remotes" I mentioned above, except that they have been customized to have all buttons working on buzz boxes (like the colored buttons). If you can find one of the BT2xx series buzz remotes, for me those are my favorite (but that is subjective). Worst case, you can pair a PC USB keyboard/mouse and use that (or even use a USB wired set). Not the best option, but you could get it working for the most part.

For other users experiencing same/similar problems.

after 1 month when OP has not returned what's the point of generating AI responses?

I only use my Buzz remote and it is not paired with anything other than my buzz box (and the BT200 has 4 IR learn keys). I pretty much use my buzz box exclusively for all my TV needs. So, I have my soundbar set to about midway. My TV is always switched to HDMI1. And my Buzz boxes are always set to variable volume output (ie: disable the MAX volume setting - so the box basically has it's own volume). If someone does not have a soundbar and uses TV speakers, then set the TV to 60 or 70% volume. Then on the Buzz remote (I use my BT2xx series (example: the BT200). The BT200 has the option to program/learn up to 4 buttons from other remotes. So on the TV power button on the remote, I have learned the power button of my TV remote. For the "input" button on the BT200 remote, I have programmed the IR button for the power of my soundbar Since it really can be anything. And the TV VOL+/- buttons (the learn buttons, not the main remote buttons), I have the soundbar volume IR buttons learned - which I rarely use, since I leave it at just over half way unless I really want to crank up the volume). So, unless I am using some other inputs on my TV (which is extremely rare), I typically just pick up my Buzz BT200 remote, hit the TV power button (which has learned to turn on the TV), hit the TV input button (which has learned the power button to the Sound bar), and finally I hit the main power button on the buzz remote to turn no my buzz box. From there I use the buzz remote for everything, and since the buzz box has max volume disabled, the main volume buttons on the remote control the volume on the buzz box. Sure the BT400 dies NOT have learn buttons. But, other than having to turn on your TV and possibly sound bar manually or with their respective remote you can do everything else with the BT400. Factory reset the remote, do NOT try to program it (leave it default so volume keys control the buzztv box volume), and go into settings and disable MAX volume. Very simple after that. Disabling max volume on the box, allows you to set your soundbar to whatever MAX volume you would ever typically use. Then controlling the box volume, the box will output a variable volume which will range from 0 to the max volume you already set your soundbar to. The onn remotes are SUPER simple, they are like mini google remotes with very minimal buttons, so I don't see how you expect to get better functionality from a minimalistic remote. To reset the BT400 just follow the instructions in the manual https://buzztv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/BT400-300_manual_MOBILE_v6_Compress.pdf Essentially: 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

Nbs, I have been experimenting with that setting and it does seem to have resolved the problem. I think its description on the App Settings screen is incorrect. It needs to refer to the "app" and not the "box". Maybe this gets relabeled in the next update to be more accurate, less confusing. Image attached. Thanks, Mark 20251211_202020.heic

Thanks! That's what I expected, but I wanted to confirm. I appreciate your assistance

As nbs mentioned above, your best option is to try to sideload them. Directly loading them from google play store can be a pain in the @#$!. Keep the following in mind: But even if you side load them, there is no guarantee that they don't have their own internal restrictions. At a minimum you would probably need a VPN if they have restrictions.

Sorry my bad

What does Australian TV app have to do with changing region? You can load the app onto a usb stick and install on your x5 Whether its compatible or not who knows? You should be asking the people making the app

using Mac or xc api option? try to clear cache or switch media player. looks like server related issue. I know few servers if channel don't stream for few it will crash the app.

Yes, I visited the page and there was no downloadable content. I didn't try the usb into bt-500 because I didn't have the executable to upload the remote software. However, good news--tech support was able to resolve the problem. The problem was not with the installation of the remote update, but that the remote itself had an issue. Unpairing the remote and re-pairing the remote fixed the problem. I was then able to click the button to install the update. Thanks for proposing workaround and potential solutions--appreciate it!

What versions to you have installed now ? First of all you don't sideload the Buzz F/W or S/W. They are send via OTA only (with few exceptions if customer services sees a need for small stuff and most of those are already in the downloads section of this forum). And if you try to sideload any Buzz F/W or S/W, you do so at your own risk. Also, where did you get those versions from ? The xrs4900 latest FW is V20220923 if I recall, and the latest S/W is 5.0.953 (which is the one listed here). Keep in mind, the xrs4900 is a pretty old series 4 box (which is still a great box - I have 2 of them), so don't expect too many F/W updates at this stage. It will see it's share of BuzzTV 5 SW updates however. If your box is not at that FW or Software after 48 hours of being poowered up, you can email cs@buzztv.com and give them the MAC address of your box, and your current versions and they can push updates to your box.

The app is integrated into the box. It consists of the LiveTV, VOD and TV Series app which you are now using. When in live TV, you should be able to press the menu button, and on the bottom left you will see the version of BuzzTV that you are running, it should say something like 5.0.xxx)

all buzz comes with buzztv app and its same procedure with 4500.

If you have a portal and separate name and password, then it is an XC (Xtreme) portal. Don't use the M3U, use the XC API login.. You have 4 items to enter (a name - which can be anything, your username, the password and the URL) exactly as they sent you. Username and password are case sensitive. For M3U it would b e a long url which would have included your username and password in the url. This is not what they gave you. Use XC Api login.

The BuzzTV app is already preloaded on all buzz devices (including the classic). For pure IPTV, you do not need to download any additional apps. If you have not defined anything yet, as soon as you click on LiveTV, it should bring up the server screen (if something was defined, you will go straight into live TV, where you can then press the menu button on your remote, select settings->server setting - OR on the remote you should have a "servers" button which will take you straight to that screen). From there you can choose MAC, XC or M3U playlist type server. You choose the ones you want, then click on add new, and enter the info your provider gives you. If they gave you a portal URL, username and password, then odds are that it is an XC type. If they gave you 1 or 2 separate links (playlist and/or epg) then you'd need to enter in in M3U.

Thank you. May I never curse an inanimate object again. Or box anyways. lol. Wish I had thought to ask some while ago. Was a post by DU that was a trigger.lol. FYI to readers , this would be good to do even if you have not had any box issue that might be resolved by a hard reboot. You never know when you may need to. Cheers.

Here is the reset procedure. Different box, same procedure however.
