OK. Got it, and installed.

Turned off the TMDB in order to test.

Using w*** server, XC API connection, VOD shows posters/thumbnails and titles, but no  movie summary/plot as expected.

However Under TV Series, I see all the poster/thumbnails, and I still see the summary/plot for the series overall, but no detailed info for each episode (no thumbnail or summary for each individual episode).  Question is, is it normal that there is summary for the top level series entry ?  Is that included possibly from the server (like an epg) ?

 

So we added this feature as some customers in Europe say TMDB was giving the wrong info and the servers they use gave the correct one instead.  Buzz 5 has the same feature.

We have no control over what Metadata a server provides, is why we use TMDB instead as it fills in 90% of everything nicely and accurately 

We recommend keeping TMDB turned on

L2 sounds promising...

I'll wait for that one.

Anticipated release date?

We have no date. 

As its currently only in the discussion phase. It takes about 6-9 months to come to market from this stage.

Update went ok. Great box, But what it really needs is a remote with Bluetooth connectivity. You have to point the remote directly at the box which is a big deal for some.

Such a nice box but this a must in 2025.

 

 

It doesn't even have Bluetooth 

As NBS says 

Its a budget box

L2 should have Bluetooth though

Power station Remote BT-500 Smart Voice will not work any Vizio tv model. I have the latest version of firmware on the box and remote.

 

Thanks Smiley

Some companies like Vizio and the Roku TVs do not pay for the IR Codes to be included on the manufacturing process of their TVs
All to save about 30 cents per TV

The Smart Remote only works via IR

This sounds like that is the issue you're having

Hello any news on the update for multi servers scroll behind each other ?

thanks.

Its next in line to be worked on

Once we finish up Themes

No set dates on when it will get released, as we dont like giving dates

Absolutely.  If no normalization is done at the server end, if can vary from channel to channel.

One thing I have noticed but keep forgetting to mention is that "if" there is a Subtitle track included on the channel, on the L1 it is by default enabled.   So if you have a service that includes subs, you end up having to disable the subs on every single channel   Not sure if there are many people who want subs enabled by default.  

On the P6, there seems to be an additional "auto" option for subs.  not sure on the logic behind that option (which is the default) and have not had a chance to test with some of those streams, since many are in that playlist I had sent you a while back.  And The P6 seems to detect way more sub streams than the L1 does.

 

 

 

 

Will take a look, thanks

Installed without an issue.  Tested the volume feature and wow, that can be loud.  I think I will personally keep it at 100%    Thanks.

 

The main issue with Volume levels is streams all stream at different DB levels and kbps
So that is why some streams are louder than others

Hello folks. Is there any news on AFR coming to the boxes? I think there was a timescale for it arriving some months ago?

We are still waiting for help from Rockchip to add it

On AmLogic we read from driver status resolution and framerate of the decoded content. On rockchip we dont have access to this, its not exported from the driver through sysfs. We tried to enable it but it is disabled in some prebuilt library. So we asked Rockchip if there is another way to read this info or get the decoder library that exports the info.

This is a requirement in order for the AFR Feature to work.

Wow.. That was quick.. 137 already includes the volume changes   

Buzz Rocks

 

Yup it wasn't too hard to add

We found 150% was the max we could allow though, as audio became distorted/speakers sound blown above that

Hello All,

 

My Specs:-

XRS4500 Version 9. Build V20220106.20220106 Kernel:4.9.113  | Buzz TV 5.0.937  | HighSpeed AT&T Fiber Internet.

 

Issue:-

Intermittently Buzz box hangs. I am unable to scroll through live TV channels.  and also starting a VOD movie does nothing.

 

Workaround:-

RESTART buzz box.  Sometimes this work with one restart. Sometimes it does with more than one.  This is very frustrating as typically we only use the Buzz box few hours in the evening. This has becomes an issue almost every evening now.

 

Items Tried :-

As mentioned a restart helps sometimes.  But not sure why I need to do this daily?

Cleared cache as recommended in earlier forums. But this did not help.

Once we get it to work - it works seamlessly.  The issue is always when we begin watching each evening.

 

Thoughts and if this a known issue with any fixes?

 

Thanks!

Have you checked your remote to make sure its working properly and has new batteries?

As it could be a remote issue

You can't sell it because the volume won't go above 100?

We can look into this,as it shouldn't be hard to add.

We will add an ON/OFF switch to the Configuration menu that will allow up to 200% Volume adjustment

We should be able to add this within a few weeks in an Update.

We will test it first though, as I think VLC for example, only allows up to 125 or 150 because beyond that creates audio distortion

If there was an internal slider to bump of volume over and above what remote does.

I find it inordinately low volume.

Sorry if you disagree. The unit is coming along: and its a fantastic concept for just doing Live TV streaming ONLY,but I couldn't sell it to any customers with the way it is NOW.

Good Luck with your beta testing if this unit going forward.

DISHUSER STFU.

Additional menu items a nice touch Thx

Still getting " video glitches " ..

VOD playback was stuck a few times 

Reboot solved this.

Volume level slider would be nice.Volume is very poor.. Compared to HD5 unit...or even an Android9 custom box, or ONNTv box, or Nvidia Shield.

Have i turn up volume on Sonos Arc soundbar significantly to hear things

That's my report 

You can adjust volume already
Not sure am following?
