One of the apps I am having a problem with is Bee TV. What exactly is Advanced Download Manager and how can I get it? I just went into the settings of Bee and I see a choose default player and I see the option "download with advanced download manager". If I click that, is there also an app to install with it?

That app uses external apps to do a lot of things
Like video playback calls out Players to playback what you want to watch, Like VLC, EXO,MX
But you have to have these player apps actually installed on the device in order for them to work. The app doesn't give a way for you to install them yourself

I think the same thing applies to this Advanced download manager
I searched for it on Google Play and its not there, so I am really not sure where its from
Sounds like a rabbit hole mission to find this

I will forewarn you though about downloading movies etc from apps like BeeTV
A lot of times they just stream torrents, and if you download torrents without a VPN. ISPs will report Copyright infringement notices and warn you
In Canada its simply just a warning letter, but in America its been known for movie studios to sue people for torrents.

When streaming movies on my P6 the movie won't download. I have tried this on several different apps including 3rd party apps and apps within Kod, the result is the same...the movie will not download. As I am trying different apps and the result is the same, I'm thinking it's a device issue? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Make sure you Allow Files and Media under permissions for the apps you're trying to download from

Buzztv is not recognizing my url for IPTV after update. IPTV is working on other devices. Is there a way to go to previous version?

We haven't done an update on Buzz 5 since January
so not sure which update you're referring to?

How do I back up kodi files from Buzz TV 5 box to jump drive also can entire box be backed up in case of crash?

Using any File Manager app should achieve this

Files by Google I find works well
Depending on how big your KODI build is though, this might take an hour
as its copying like 25k+ files in some cases

Unfortunately I've also had some problems with Playstore lately on my Classic. The first was not being able to sign in at all, and discovered that the culprit in this case was a Play Services update from Aptoide. Once I uninstalled that update things were OK. That was a couple of months ago.

Over the last couple of weeks when I try to sign in to Playstore, the screen goes black! I have to hit the back button, clear the Playstore cache, then it's good to go again. That's happened to me twice. What's causing this, don't know, but I'm just putting it out there for info.

Just a note, I do use Playstore for some apps, but I always delete the account when I'm finished. However that only deletes the account on the box; you also need to login to your Google account to actually sign out of the account on the box. Now, all auto-updates are always turned off. Inconvenient, but it's a work around for now.

Not being able to login has been narrowed down to having Chrome Browser installed on the box
Once users uninstalled Chrome Browser, the login issues went away

Google seems to be making a lot of changes lately and causing issues for a lot of different things.
Keep in mind Chrome browser is a Mobile app, you cannot get it from the TV App store. Could be some correlation there.
Starting this week we have resorted to Pre Installing Firefox instead of Chrome on brand new Android 11 boxes, as the support tickets kept growing.

no I have one but I haven't used it in a long time

Ok so far no other reports of this issue have come in

I put a flag with support to single out anyone else who reports it

As for now, I am not sure what causes it and what we can do to fix it

is there anything that can be done to fix the google play store connection error besides deleting the data of the app I'm assuming I must one of a few people experiencing this issue if not the only one because I think it would have been reported before now

 

Are you using a VPN?

it's not available

They must have made more changes recently then
As it was available a few weeks ago when I checked.

Now it says not available on this device

Yeah I've had trouble with analiti as well

Analiti seems to have made some changes for Pre-Installed apps
If you uninstall it and then reinstall it from the Play Store, it starts working

Is there a reason that the Powerstation can’t load the android version of Apple Music?

I was even unable to sideload, system just said incompatible with my device.

Is this a licensing issue or something else that might be resolved in the future.

 

of course if anyone is successfully running apple music app on the P6 I am all ears on how to do it. 
thanks

P6 only works with ARM64 APKs, so maybe the one you're using doesn't support that

Or Apple Music puts device restrictions on their Mobile Apps.

Those would be the only 2 reasons why it would say incompatible when trying to install

Will there be a future update to allow transparent channel logos similar to the buzz 5 app epg ??

But I did give my reasons in my post above yours

Hello BuzzTV Support,

I own a BuzzTV Powerstation 6 and I am experiencing an issue with audio passthrough.
Whenever I use Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital+, Dolby TrueHD, or Dolby Atmos passthrough, the sound briefly cuts out whenever I press any button on the remote (for example, when showing “Info” about the current video, adjusting volume, or opening any on-screen display).

I would like to use my AVR (Denon/Marantz) to decode the audio formats directly, but these constant dropouts make Atmos and other passthrough formats unusable.

Could you please advise if this is:

a known firmware issue,

a setting I may have overlooked (RAW vs IEC passthrough, audio mixing, etc.),

or if there is an upcoming update that will fix this?

Thank you for your support.
 

Are you using the HDMI ARC port to the box?

And what version of HDMI is your receiver?

If you do not have HDMI 2.1 on receiver 4k and Atmos will exceed bandwidth basically.

Hello with buzztv 5 y have access to local m3u list, but with buzztv 6 (updated 1.0.219) no acces to browse to local list for add , only possible add internet list no option for add local list.

Tanks.

It's on our roadmap already

THAT SOUNDS GREAT!!!!!!!

As soon as that is perfected I will be ordering 2 of the PowerStation's, since they are, as far as I know the only box that operate with the BuzzTV 6. 

As Dishusers post above yours stated already 

It pretty much already is

We spent a long time building this and internally testing before pre release on Beta

Beta will just allow us to point out any small bugs we missed.

Are you guys saying in the future on Buzz 6 you would be able to put all your servers  favorite channels in your favorite folder and it would automatically switch from one server to another server to connect to the channel you selected, like the other popular player out there right now (ti*ima*e)??

If so once this is perfected I know for one I will be buying 2 of the PowerStation's!!

Yes that is true

Hi Everyone,

Since the last update, all servers stay connected. I need to press the yellow button to disconnect. Is there a way to disconnect from one to go onto the next without needing the yellow button?

Thanks

You must be on Beta

Its a new feature, Multi server connection

If you edit the server, you can turn off Auto Connect for the servers you dont want to be connected to all at the same time

Upgraded to the new firmware released and can't use disney+ now. Go to load it says it needs to update. Click on Update and only has option to open or cancel, and says it isn't compatible with my device. Pretty sure i used it after updating the firmware, but this happened last night when i went to load it. Tried clearing Cache on the app to no avail.

 

Firmware: V20250815 Firmware

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.

When he says "manual" update, it is from the Settings screen (from home screen), where it has the option to check for updates don the list.   Not using a file physically to update manually.

Manual Update fully works now if you're running this update
Previous FWs downloaded it in the background, so if it wasn't downloaded yet and you checked manually. It would say there is no update.

As we separated the FW + App Updates now for all future updates after the FW and App update below.
To make things easier. Dealers were complaining that you had to reboot the box for an App update.
