No it does not show up. Carried the drive to the computer shop and verified a dead drive. Good call! Thank you for taking the time!

where did you see it has pip?

Firmware v20220919 is the latest and current IPTV version is v5.0.946. So you are running the latest. I would not expect any more firmware updates since no new OS related features will be added. But IPTV software still gets the occasional bug fixes every now and then (like all 4 and 5 series boxes).

Will get it fixed for the next update Thanks

At these prices, I just ordered 2x E5 boxes for 2 of my "senior" friends. The current boxes they are running, are just so outdated. Time to get them each a real box I'm sure they will love them.

it's still good to report it in case it was overlooked

Disney+ released an update 4th, 14th and 18th We're currently running the 14th update version. We update Disney+ in the background via OTA. This doesn't require firmware updates, so that didn't cause it. Its just a coincidence I am not sure why Disney is so strict on having the latest updates just to use it. We will send the newest 18th version soon and it will update to all active boxes within 48-72 hours.

p6 and L1

I use my tv to decode have the hdmi input set to bitsream. Have not had any drop out issues at all. And i have lg 4.1 ch sound bar im using for sound.

It works for me

Its only because the box was preloaded

First thing you can do is post in the correct section for your box, and not hijack a 3 month old thread which is irrelevant to your issue. Then provide more info, like exact model of box you are using (there are a few different X5 models). You Software version (5.0.xxx), firmware version (V202xxxxxxx). Why type of subscription you are using MAC, XC, M3U ? Have you tried using a VPN service ? Many ISP are blocking iptv streams lately and worse during prime time peak hours. Start a NEW thread, and include the pertinent info. Please do NOT continue it in this thread.

There is already a thread dedicated to P6 wishlist. And I had already requested this feature https://stbtalk.com/topic/14151-buzztv6-application-wishlist-for-new-features-and-enhancements/page/6/#findComment-37232

yes it will https://buzztv.com/remote-control-comparison/

And on the L1 it is BuzzTV 6 Lite, since some feature are not available due to the budget nature of the L1.

no

Please don't post live links

I keep forgetting the anniversary edition has that bug

backup/restore came out last year

yes. reset restores your device to a factory condition. you have to install and configure your device again. however, you can make backup of server and favorites from buzztv 5 in to external device then restore after reset.

Issue will br fixed in a coming update

Buzz 6 App Update V1.0.192 Sept 4th, 2025 Changes: - Fixed changing channels for Adult in Favs - Fixed a bug with NTP time and Server Connections - Fixed Minor UI Bugs - Bug Fixes **Pop Up for Update will Appear or you can check App Updates Manually. **App Updates are separated now from Firmware Updates. **App will Restart to Install. ** App will automatically install after 2 hours of no user input. Please Leave Feedback Below Thanks

Has nothing to do with the box. That is the nature and limitation of a MAC connection and all servers I know can only do single connection with a MAC based server. Keep in mind that a MAC is supposed to be a unique identifier for a device, and as such, the servers were designed to only handle a single physical connection for each device. Subscriptions using the XC (Xtreme Codes) API are different, they uses a username/password combination and therefore don't have such a limitation. Just like you can log into your favourite website from multiple devices, it is the same for XC. And they implement the connection limitation on the server to allow a certain number of connections, depending on how much you pay. The primary server I use, allows 2 simultaneous connections by default when using XC API. And has the option for 4 or 6 connections (at an extra cost) for those who need that.

I use voice for google

Even it it did work, if I recall correctly with the P6 (BT500) the voice function only works outside of the buzztv app (I did very limited testing on voice functionally). So mostly commands from home screen. It's quicker to just use the remote to navigate anywhere I want for the amount time it would take to speak the command Not particularly useful in my opinion. Don't expect Alexa, Google or Siri type of interaction with any of the boxes.

in buzztv 5 sheduler in french Thusday is "J" but actually is "M" is y ou have a future update please correct this because y have 3 "M" and 2 "D" and saturday is S not d actually: DLMMMVD Correct: DLMMJVS tanks-you

Does it show up under settings/storage ? IF it does not show up at all under storage, then it is quite possible the drive is dead. And possibly that may be the reason things were behaving strangely if there were links to the drive it was trying to resolve, but drive was not there.

make a backup and do a reset

you have posted in wrong thread and how do we know which remote do you have?

Damn these guys are quick. Ordered them Wednesday night. And they were just delivered by Canada Post expedited parcels. And it is nice to see the "signature required" option back for deliveries. Guess I'll be busy this weekend

What buzz box model do you have ? And how many other things have you installed on the box ? And what firmware/software version is installed ? If you don't have too much 3rd Party apps installed, you can always backup BuzzTV 5 to a USB stick, then do a factory reset and restore your BuzzTV 5 settings.

Disney is similar to netflix in terms of certification For M3U, check the typing. Sometimes the on screen keyboard will add a space after a "." automatically, which can be annoying. Or you can use a PC or your phone that is on the same network to enter the M3U file path. Just go to the URL shown at the top right of the "server screen" on the buzz box, and you can enter your M3U url from the web page. I use many M3U lists, and have no issues with them.

Yes, fresh batteries resolved the issue. I guess I am just shocked that starting at 50% batt life caused such a dramatic performance decline…or maybe just bad batteries. BT500 is back to it’s normal snappiness.

put in fresh batteries

Update was simple and without problems. Some of the stuff i've been wainting for.

Thanks for the advice guys. I learned more from 2 posts than from all the gobbledegook on YouTube

in my opinion just for recording any SSD with heatsink on it will be fine. but just for peace of mind Samsung 990 pro M.2 NVMe PCIe 4. "Sequential Reads/Writes: Up to 7,450 MBps / 6,900 MBps"

Future Feature Request: Mounting and RECORDING/DOWNLOADING to an network shared folder One nice thing to see would be the option to mount an SMB or NFS share (like on a NAS) and use that as a destination for Recordings/Downloads. Also, if in the same directory or subdirectory it can include whatever file (xml or whatever...) is needed to be able to get the show info (show name, epg description if there was any, channel, etc..). That way if you have more than one Buzz box, they can point to the same directory, and everyone can share everyone's recordings/downloads. A huge bonus would be to also have the filenames something more informative (like first 20 characters of show description, followed by date/time of recording). That way when you look at the directory, you have a good idea of what the media files are. Right now, they look like random names, but I am sure it has something to do with the stream URL. Thanks.

You can't restore immediately to the classic anniversary as after reset the box is at 940 The backup file was created in 946 so you have to wait

version of buzztv 5 app. so when you reset your box you may not see latest version once box is back online. it may take minutes before it auto download latest version.

It all depends on your provider. This will not work if you have a MAC type subscription, since your service needs to offer multiple connections. With an XC API type connection you can have the option for multiple simultaneous connections. You can check what yours has by going into the menu->settings->account info. And you can see the max connections vs active connections (if your account/service has multiple connection options). Keep in mind to record something while watching something else, you need to have at least 2 under max connections, since you need 1 stream for the recording, and 1 stream for your live TV.

how many times do you need to be told to do a reset? hard of soft you will lose all your data

why don't you just follow what we are telling you? yes there's and thats why we are telling you what to try. your priority should to be fix this and follow what you being told.

if you have saved your favorite list in buzztv app and you don't won't to recreate your favorite list and type all the server info again after the reset then you make a backup of your server from buzztv app into external usb devices. open up buzz tv app, press menu, settings, configurations, backup/restore then follow on screen instructions. if you don't care about it then proceed to reset process on your own risk.

try deleting server and setting it up again

once again they're for buzztv functions

Hello everyone, When I exit the Live TV app is it possible to have the PIP feature not pop up on the Home Screen? I cannot find a setting anywhere. Thanks in advance for your help!

just press 5

I'd stick with name brands. Speed is not going to make a huge difference for recording purposes. 5000MBps or 7000MBps you probably won't notice a difference on recording or playback. Samsung, Kingston, Crucial, WD should be fine. And if you can find a model withing these brands which has a heatsink or heat spreader, even better, since the unit is not actively cooled. Don't get their cheapest model line. I personally use a Kingston KC3000 1TB in my unit, which has a low profile heat spreader. Not the cheapest model around, but figured I did not want any hassles. Not that I worry about losing any recording, but it is just something that can be cause other glitches if you use it for TS also. I originally started with a Samsung 980 Pro 500GB (which worked well also), but since I had the Kingston left over from another project, decided to just swap it in.
