I would love BuzzTV 6 app to The Classic and AX 5-C 64/128gb

Posting your wish in one thread is MORE than enough.  Don't need to post it more than once.

First of all, this is NOT the same thing.  Gilles is talking about resetting the account from his provider.  Gary you see to be saying that you need to try 3 or 4 times to connect before connecting.  This is not te same type of issue.

Are you guys using wifi, or wired ?   Are you sure the box is actually connected to the internet when you try to connect (mostly for Gary) ?  I've had friends who used to complain that they needed to try to connect 2 or 3 times before connecting, and they were using Wi-Fi.  Turned out the crappy router provided to them by their Internet provider was the source of the lagging connections.  Adding a ASUS decent router instead of using the provided junk from the internet providers, and problem went away.  A wired connection is always preferred, to avoid these kind of issues.

ALSO, if you are putting your box into "suspend" mode using the power key, then you should probably change the power key definition to shutdown.  Sure it takes an extra minute to boot, but you have a clean boot every single time.  Suspend over time can cause issues on any machine.  Even windows machine go wonky after a while if you don't do a proper reboot.  Just save yourselves the headache and change the powerkey definition to shutdown, and most random problems go away.

Also, what do you mean my asking provider to reset if you are on XC type sub.  There is no reset for XC logins on the subscription panel.  Reset is only for MAC servers.  I have no clue what your provider is doing for a |reset" no an XC server.  Something does not make sense.

I have the same XC server on nearly 10 different boxes with same user/pass and I switch between them with no issues and never needing to reset an account.

i have, its this image, hence why I wanted to see yours 

That is identical to mine. 

Only difference, mine has a little bit of "release notes" history on the left, since mine was updated to that.  In your case, you did a reset, so some of that was already there.

it is on the buzztv6 home screen

OK.. Because the picture you posted on your FIRST posting, was NOT on buzztv 6 home screen.  You were on ""BuzzTV Media Player 2" home screen theme.  

BTW: Does hitting the "GUIDE" button on your remote, take you to the EPG guide ?  Assuming you have a server even defined.  If you get a server screen, then buzztv 6 is still not configured.  The server screen for Buzztv 6 is separate from the server screen of buzztv 5.

So CHANGE your home screen to BuzzTV 6... Not modern or anything else.  Then launch LiveTV app.. And from the LiveTV app, press "menu" and see on bottom left, what is written for version.  If you are at 1.0.16 or 1.0.17 then the message is correct..

on the update page this is what I see 

And this is NORMAL.  "V20240816" is the latest "firmware".  5.0.915 is the version of BuzzTV 5 installed.  And that is fine, since BOTH buzztv5 and Buztv6 "software" are installed.

For Home screen, you seem to have changed to the "BuzzTV Media Player 2" Home screen.  To Launch BuzzTV 6 on that one (assuming you have not created a shortcut), you will need to select "ALL APPS" and you will see BuzzTV 6 on the second row, right next to BuzzTV 5.  But BuzzTV 6 is a little different, when you select it, it will take you to the BuzzTV 6 home screen.  Do youself a favor and just switch to the Buzztv 6 home screen to BuzzTV 6.

So in summary.. V20240816 (as of today) is the latest firmware for the P6.  BOTH buzzTV 5 and 6 software are installed on the P6.  As of today. BuzzTV 5 version is 5.0.915 that is installed on this box.  BuzzTV 6 version can vary (not going to go into details), either 1.0.16 or 1.0.17. 

To get updates to BuzzTV 6 (just like BuzzTV 5) software, you can go into menu->settings and select "check update".  You can see the version that is installed on your device, when you hit the menu button, on the bottom left.  If you see 1.0.xx then you are in buzztv 6, if you see 5.0.xxx you are in buzztv 5.

WHY post in 2 threads for the same "wish" ?  

Did you try creating a NEW XC server entry ?  Just to make sure it did not get corrupted somehow ?

For VOD screen empty, just as a test, try creating a new server entry (all it "backup" or whatever), and see if using a new entry works better.  I have no issue with it, tested it a few times, and even started a few movies, just in case.

Did you try creating a NEW server entry (just in case it is corrupted) ?

And are you sure that the issue is not the providers EPG ?  Maybe what you had before was cached, and now it loaded garbage.

If they have an app, try using thier app.  If you have XC account, try installing and using Smarters... IF you are using MAC, try STBEmu.

If you have another box, try clearing EPG and see if it reloads correctly.

I know I posted it somewhere else, but I'll post it here to consolidate the bugs.

--ADULT CHANNEL PIN

If you go to the adult channel section and select a channel, it will prompt for the "pin".

However if you go through "ALL Channels" category instead, and then select an adult channel, it bypasses the PIN request.  This was an issues ages ago on BuzzTV 5, but was corrected.  Guess similar fix needs to be added to buzztv 6 eventually.

-- APPS tab refresh after installing a new app

Also I noticed that if you go to "apps" tab, bring up some file explorer (I use solid explorer) then install some app, and exit from file explorer, the app screen is not refreshed to show the newly installed app.  You need to switch from the app tab and come back, for it to refresh and include the newly installed app.

The option to adjust picture settings was posted in the "BuzzTV6 Application: Wishlist for New Features and Enhancements" thread.

Also, keep in mind that this is a BuzzTV forum.  There is no specific support for 3rd party apps.   If the issue appears using the BuzzTV apps (LiveTV, VOD, TV Series), then that is a different story and will be eventually addressed.  But something that is 3rd party app specific is not.

just installed and my guide is completely scrambled. you can not make anything out. 

 

It's all encrypted to protect you

On a serious note,

• FIRST: From LiveTV Try hitting the menu->settings-configuration and then under Guide/EPG, select the "Clear EPG" option.
• SECOND, if it does not work, from home screen, go into settings->apps, and for Buzztv 6 try first clear cache and see if that help. 
• THIRD, if it does not work, you'll probably need to go into settings->apps snd do a "clear data" and then recreate the entry.

VOD on Buzz 6 doesn't work after new update. Have to back out to Buzz 5 for Movies on VOD.

Should probably PM allaboutbuzz with your provider info (please do not post providers openly).  Works fine with w****.  Just started 2 different movies, no issues.

I'll start with the easy one. 

"Is there a way to get powerstation to start in Buzz 5, or must I select the app each time? "

I just went into Buzztv 5, went into menu->settings->configuration, and turned on the "Start liveTV at boot" .  Then exited BuzzTV 5, pulled the power on my box and then put it back.  Glad to report, that it boots up, and then seconds later it launches BuzzTV 5.

For the rest, I guess you can test it

But the latest update going out today does fix quite a few of the issues with BuzzTV 6.  Don't get me wrong, it still has a few issues to be cleaned up, but overall, it can be used for daily watching now (many of the freezing and stream issues have been addressed)..

"For now", it only ships with the Powerstation.

When there is, it will be posted   It all depends on how many issues they fix to warrant an update.

I just download the files onto my PC and copy them to a USB stick to install.  A lot easier.  Or I often put them on my NAS and use a software like Solid Explorer (Similar to ES File explorer that is preinstalled, but I have I prefer solid explorer) to browse my NAS share and install from there.

I rarely use my google accounts on any of my boxes.  I install everything offline.  Just easier to have all the APK on a single stick, so if I need to do a reset on the box, all the installers are on a single stick and can install them all in minutes.

This version, seems to install and launch just fine.  I don't have an account, so I did not try to log in, but it does install and launches without any errors

Thank you Emporium I ask my provider as you ask to do and it's working now. 

Glad it works.

But surprised that is not the first thing your provider did when you complained it was not working.  That is the first thing I do with anyone on MAC sub and complaining it does not work.

Have you tried getting it from Aptoide ?  Or downloading the APK and and trying that through app installer ?

Ask you supplier to do a reset for your device on his Panel.

Pretty sure if you just unplug the power of your P6 box, then the BT500 would not be paired, and it would emit IR.  

I am not home now to test, but if it reacts like other BT buzz remotes, it will emit IR, until such time that it pairs with the box again.  And from the comments above, I am assuming the BT500 is the same.

example, if you were given the following as URLs

M3U URL:
http://myserver.xyz:2186/get.php?username=johndoe&password=jdpass&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

EPG URL:
http://myserver.xyz:2186/xmltv.php?username=johndoe&password=jdpass

Then for XC you would use

for XC, you could use:
URL:  http://myserver.xyz:2186
username=johndoe
password=jdpass

And in some cases, if that does not work, try to drop the :2186 on the URL

Regarding using a different EPG URL, you can.  But that would assume that the channel IDs used in your provider'/s M3U, would match the IDs in the XML for them to line match.  You can change the EPG URL as you please, it should not change anything regarding your favorites.  It is literally just for the program guide.  It is optional, because your channels will still work, even without a program guide.  It is obviously better with one, but it will work fine without one.

I had no issues setting up and recording over the weekend, one after the other, through the EPG, and they all worked. all 15 minute or 30 minute recordings, but there were just tests so that was fine for now. Out on business trip this week, so not home to run more tests, but you will need to be more specific how you tried to record ?  Record button ?  EPG ?  Channel list, single epg ?

During my tests, I did most of them through the full EPG. And since I did not install an nvme yet, it was to internal storage.
