Is you HDMI-CEC enabled on the Powerstation ? From Home screen, go to Settings (Gear icon on the top)->device preferences->display and sound->HDMI-CEC. As a test, turn all of the options in there OFF, to avoid having the TV or the box controlling each other (let them be their own boss )

I'm glad you found your issue, which is exactly what I recommend in my FIRST reply. So I did provide an idea. But that still does not change the fact that the problem (even the way you initially described it), has nothing to do with BUZZTV 5. There are different categories in the forum for a reason. BuzzTV 5 is the APP that runs on your BuzzTV Box, after the box has already booted (there is a distinction). It has nothing to do with whatever resolution your box boots up into. And after all these replies, worst part is, we still don't know what specific hardware (box model) this was And the issue should have been posted in the hardware section for that specific model of box you have.

If in terms of template you mean a backup of every 3rd party app, NO. IF you mean in terms of backing up the BuzzTV servers, settings and favorites, then Yes. For your DVR request, the answer is NO. There is always this: https://stbtalk.com/topic/14151-buzztv6-application-wishlist-for-new-features-and-enhancements/

You probably can, but I think that would be a complete waste, and just adding wear and tear on the nvme connector unnecessarily. If you plan to move the drive back and forth, then why not just use a USB key instead of an nvme drive ? nvme drives are not designed to be plugged and unplugged mechanically frequently. I personally just use a file manager (in my case, I like Solid explorer, but any one you like should work), and I transfer files to/from by buzz boxes and my NAS using the network connection. My P6 is wired and so is my NAS, so it's quite simple. Keep in mind that names of recordings are not always obvious to be able to identify them.

This is the way I have been doing it for years (and on my older boxes). Honestly didn't even realize it was added in the utilities oops.

What do you mean your power options are set to LiveTV ? I don't get it. BTW: What type of TV do you have ? The Remote of some 3rd tier TVs, uses the same IR codes as the Buzz (example: VIZIO TVs). So some users with VIZIO TVs, when they use their remote on their TVs, it actually changes the Channels on the buzz box even if the input is not set to the buzztv So when they switch to the buzztv, the box is at some random channel.

Software you can see when you are in LiveTV and press menu, it should be on bottom of the menu. 5.0.xxx Do you have your box set for shutdown, suspend, or do you use HDMI-CEC to turn on/off with TV ? I personally prefer shutdown. May take an extra minute to boot up, but it is a clean boot each and every time. What nbs says is exactly what I have on all my buzz boxes also. IF I am watching a channel which is in my favorites.. Then I shutdown. Then turn box back on again, it will be on that same channel, and if I hit guide, I will see the guide for favorites. Let's try this as a test. Turn on TV. Turn on the B5. Go to a channel in your favorites. Press CH+ a d few times to go through some of your channels which are in your favorites. Check if Guide brings up favorites. If so, select a channel and change to a channel. OK, not you know that guide is on your favorites, and CH+/CH- cycles through your favorites. Now, hit the power button on the B5 box alone to turn it off (leave the TV on) . Once it is off, go ahead and power it back on. Do you see the buzz animated logo, or does it power up immediately ? OK, go into LiveTV. Then hit the Guide button (or technically you can just hit the guide button from the home screen). Are you on favorites or all ? I tried it on 3 of my boxes and I am always on favorites (since that was the last group I was in).

If there was, it would have been announced and deployed during one of the updates.

WHAT was the solution ? This STILL has nothing to do with BuzzTV 5 app. If it had anything to do with something it may be the firmware on your box. BuzzTV 5 is the app which has nothing to do with the resolution the box defaults to.

There is a significant speed difference, since the B5 is the entry level "5" series box. The Classic, X5 and U5 use the same CPU which is significantly faster, and they have more internal RAM, which will make them faster overall. The U5 also adds an internal slot for a 2.5" drive for recordings, which is nice, so you don't need any external USB sticks or drives. However they all run the same software (Buzz TV 5). So you will not see a difference in VOD, EPG or anything else. other than "possibly" how quickly they load/refresh. And reason I say possibly, is because the slowness may be directly from the server. Sounds to me, that there are instabilities with the service you are using.

If you can not test it WITHOUT kodi, then there is no way to confirm if the problem is KODI on android 13, kodi codec issues, the plugin on Android 13, or something on the P6. Buzz does not provide support for 3rd party apps, unless the issues is actually specific to the Buzz box or BuzzTV app itself. If you had download the Mp4 file locally, you can have ran more tests to be able to pinpoint what is causing the issue.

Sorry, I don't hear a screeching sound.. I hear what sounds like a "marching" sound. Like we are supposed to know if that is a normal movie intro ? Maybe a roaring tiger soon will be considered abnormal also during an intro Like I mentioned earlier, have you TRIED playing the same movie with something like VLC, MX Player, HB Player, etc.. ? Could just be a codec issue with Kodi. Keep in mind that your 4900 runs on Android 9, and the P6 is Android 13. So Kodi surely uses different logic on which codecs take priority. I have not used Kodi in nearly a decade (shortly after it got renamed from xbmc), so it is anything BUT a reference. Try removing certain aspects from the equation by trying different players.

Oh it plays, but if it plays, what's the issue ?

Don't know what you are trying to show in the video above. Does the movie play at all on the P6 ? Like do you have video, but the Audio is not recognized or passthru ? Or does the video give an error when you try to play it ? Have you tried playing it with any other video player, like VLC ? Just trying to understand why you assume it is a truehd issue, since that is just audio codec.

I do not have such an issue. What remote are you using ? A little more info would help. If it is the standard BT250 that came with the Classic, then there is obviously something wrong with the remote. If it is paired (Bluetooth) try to unpair/forget it, and re-pair it. When you unpair it (before re-pairing it), can you try with just IR and see if the same persists ?
