Every 10-15 minutes the video flashes for a second on my P6. This happens whether I use my IPTV service or stream from any app. I have tested my signal and connection and all is fine. I have done restarts and unplugged the device, nothing fixes the problem. Is there anything else that can be done?

Is your TV Picture mode in ECO Mode or something similar to that?
Its a setting on the TV Settings itself, not the box.

Regarding the loss of Utube on my B5's.  Although previously worked fine, now these B5's arent supported using utube.  Possibly because they only have 2 G  Ram?  Thanks guys.  Don't want to take advantage of your kinsness.  Happy New Year!

There will be a Firmware update soon for the B5s to fix youtube.

Hi!

I mentioned firmware to mention everything is up to date since app and firmware are updated all together.

Buzz version if I got the right number is 5.0.956

Yes, Tivimate and IMplayer and installed on this same box and both working with m3u/xc api format without trouble

No special characters in username nor password. Once again it works like a charm for 2 years (with same provider) and suddenly stopped working properly. I haven't tryied any other provider

You're using the exact same account on tivimate?

As that app stays logged in, even in the background

The error message you're getting is a cloudflare error, its basically kicking the app connection
We have no control over this

Yes of course

except tivimate and iptvsmarters emulator performs as expected on the same service so BUZZ who are the premium boxes should be able to implement the same stability. Buzz emulator is the best out there for ease of use, and end user preferred. Buzz can and I believe in them that it can find the solution. At the minimum, don't get kicked out and having to reconnect.  I have tested over 15 services and only BUZZ emulator kicks out.

These steps resolved the issue

Go into Android Settings
Go to Device Preferences
Go to Display and Sound
Go to Advanced sound settings

Go to Select Formats
I think you have it set to none:never use surround sound

Switch it to None
And it should fix Primar player with the unknown stream error issue

We figured this out via PM

Hi there,

 

As many others, I have this error for a month now.

m3u is working without problem but for a month now (it worked for almost a year), xc api refuse to load.

I checked with my provider. He gave me another url and suddenly it worked.. for 10 sec.! When I left app then get back, same error!

• Tried with / without vpn
• it's working with other apps (Tivimate / Implayer)
• it worked for almost a year then stop working recently (app update?)
• Cleared data / cache

So it definitively comes form the app/box, not my provider

 

Any ideas?

 

Fred

Are the server urls the same for the M3U as the XC Login?

Hello everyone, I'm having a connection problem with my Classic Anniversary box. I get the message, "Unable to load portal: not supported." I contacted my IPTV provider, and they gave me two new URLs, but unfortunately, it didn't work. They changed my connection, username, and password, but that didn't change anything; I still get the same message. I've reset my Classic box, both my routers, and my modem. I updated the firmware for my Classic box 15 days ago. The result is still the same message. Is one or more settings on my Classic box misconfigured? There are so many possibilities that I'm completely lost. I need help. Please help me!

*Note: I'm using Google Translate.

The error message you're getting is a CloudFlare error. And since you're using a VPN, CloudFlare blocks a lot of IPs from VPNs as you're not the only one using that IP address

Usually trying different cities etc on your VPN will resolve the error. And rebooting the box as well.

Good afternoon,

There seems to be a bug on the Buzz e5 or classic with the backup player where it kicks you out of the Buzz 5 emulator and back to the home screen whenever it lands on a channel that says unknown stream or no video kicks in, note stream format setup as automatic.

I have played around with the stream type from automatic to ts or m3u. Some channels work better on the m3u while others work better on the ts stream format. Unfortunately, the kicking you out to the home screen is still prevalent but not as much as the automatic option.

the problem seems to have become more noticeable after the latest update.

I sideloaded tivimate to the box, and it recognized all the different stream types on the landed channels automatically with a much better and smother channel changes. Not once kicks out to the home screen.

Primary mode never kicks out to home screen but it won't recognize certain stream types.

This is happening on more than one end user using the e5 models and the classic models.

Can buzz can implement the different stream types into the primary player instead of changing the stream type and format.

thanks

 

Do you have tunneled playback or RTS turned on in the configuration menu?

And Backup Player is libvlc, so it going back to the home screen means the player is crashing on that stream.

And the stream format feature, is just there to show what the server offers
Its default to Auto

Most servers only offer TS or HLS
Auto plays HLS first and if that doesn't work it uses TS
We can't add more, as every provider offers it themselves, and it doesn't work the way you think it does

Some servers offer RTMP, but its rare.

Here is the Buzz 38 button remote.

BuzzTV G20 Voice Remote – BuzzTV Direct

 

However being a Google remote, I am pretty sure there are quite a few restrictions on what they can or can't do with this remote in terms of changes.

Google remotes allow almost no changes
They gave us a guide of what buttons we can choose from and where we can put them

Same goes for the App Icon buttons

Google has very strict rules

We won't be designing any newer remotes for awhile, as R&D and tooling costs are very expensive.

For now our main remotes will be
G20
BT500
BT350
BT400
IR200
BT250

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
