Hello everyone

I made a backup on my Classic Anniversary Edition, and in a fraction of a second the device told me the backup was complete. Is this normal? The file on my USB drive indicates there are 45KB of data. On my E2, a backup takes 40 minutes. Where is the error?

Backup of Servers etc from the Buzz 5 app is just text data really
So yes this is normal

E2 had 2 ways, Buzz app and then OS backup
OS backup can take 40 minutes if you have lots of Data

Android made so many changes on newer versions, that backups of OS basically aren't really possible anymore. Not ones we can create ourselves, as all data is encrypted
And the main developer who rooted, retired

Can we please have further details on this "update" release.  The Classic Anniversary model still is in the dark for YouTube. 

What is bizzare is IF you were logged in as a Premium Paying YT Subscriber it still works fine on any device as far as back as Android Version 9 devices.  But if you logout or update or do a factory format , it's a No Go 

According to a content creator advisor , Android devices must now be Google Certified or have a "duped" patch that Google sees/thinks the device is Google Certified. 

I'm not certain which method the Buzz Dev is going to use to remedy this, but for resellers of BuzzTv products we are catching a lot of heat , hate mail , texts , and demands for refunds.  

Can we get a date we can at least "push" on screen ourselves to our customers. 

Thank You. 

B5 and U5s should get it tomorrow
HD5s next week, and that will be our entire Android 11 lineup

So far so good, no issues.

Would love to see the server edit feature when using local IP method.    

I know, you can edit them if you modify the URL and you know the internal server ID, but having them listed so you can select them through a UI works very nicely.

Thanks for all the continued support on all these boxes.

 

 

I think we will be removing the local IP method next update actually

As the web one works the same just better

The x5 gets stuck on the buzztv logo and sits there until I unplug the x5 and replug it back in. Does it about 2-3 times a day, could be watching TV and it goes to the buzztv screen, could be changing servers, could be changing VPN, etc

Try 956 today and see if it still happens

Any one else having continual lockups on the x5 since this update? I have (2) boxes and they both act the same,

Can you please explain in more details?

What is locking up exactly

954 is the latest

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.

I was getting the looping reboot thing after my X5 box updated twice in a matter of days which I thought was odd.....I did a factory reset but now all I get is the Cannot load portal:Incorrect username or password.....can anyone help?.......thanks

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

Hi everyone, can a E5 remote be programed to a older Sony KDL-40EX650 ? 

Customer lost the remote, and I believe it is from overseas, different AC plug.

I looked up the Tv Codes, and AI jumped in saying the codes are 001 or 0000

Can I program the E5 to this tv?

Thank you for your help.

Mark7 

You're looking for a Universal Remote
The brand All in One makes these, they pretty much cover every brand ever sold
Just comes with a list of TV codes and instructions on how to program the remote to start working with your TV

I have gotten them and set them up before for my parents
Emporium is correct, our Buzz remotes require the original remote to learn the 4 buttons from

Any updates on this youtube issue?

I just bought the Buzz Claadic Anniversary Edition and youtube will not work. It won't let you uninstall to reinstall. 

Was fixed on E5s and X5s this week via FW update
Will be rolled out to the rest of our Android 11 models next week, including the Classic and Classic Anniv

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
