What if you turn Bluetooth off then and still use Wifi? As this feature was added in this update.

Have you tried changing the Access Points on your router settings for 5ghz? We didn't change anything on this Firmware related to Wifi, and we heavily test all boxes in many different environments before releasing anything. If you use a WiFi mesh system in your house, it could just be an access point issue.

I mentioned it here Had 2 things fixed on this one 1. Fixed a Launcher has stopped crash 2. Fixed a Organize Favorites bug + some other bugs from 4.0.493

It should It was tested Thanks same to you.

Where did you download the app from? So we can try it here and see if we can reproduce + fix the issue

Which Player you using when this happens Default or Secondary?

What Bluetooth Keyboard is it? It may not be programmed to work on our Firmware.

Yes we will Been working on it since. Based on current tests, the one we built over the weekend should be good to go.

PM me Thanks

Or if you're getting that message You could be entering in the URL wrong

You need to setup the url + username + password on Streaming Line then on server settings Then it should work.

PM me I can send you an update that should fix this issue.

Are you setting up the M3U URL as an M3U on Server Settings Or are you using the Streaming Line or Server Line?

Have you tried unpairing the remote and just using it as an IR Remote? The remote that comes with the XR 4500 works as a Bluetooth remote when connected via Bluetooth But also as an IR Remote when it isn't connected via Bluetooth.

A few ISPs in Toronto offer up to 1GB-1.5GB Its not guaranteed though, so during peak hours it can be 200-400mbps only But on non Peak Hours am getting 800-900mbps over Wifi on most of my devices Phone Laptop Buzz Box.

The Server ID # listed in Server Settings The last 6 digits matches the same last 6 digits of the MAC address found on the bottom of your unit.

And yes the Buzz 5 update is planned for all Buzz models using Buzz 4 So XR + XRS 4000 XR + XRS 4500 XRS 4500 MAX E1 VidStick, VidStick+, VidStick MAX XRS 4900 We have a pending release for approximately February 1st, 2021

This is an issue we plan to address in the next update for the VidStick's The 4000s update is paused, but will resume this week Then the 4500s update will roll out, followed by the Vidstick's and E1. So expect the update soon. As for your Ethernet Adapter issue, it is advised to use the one being sold for Buzz TV It has already been discussed on this forum though, that you won't get full 1GB speeds over USB as this just isn't possible over USB.

If you PM me I can assist with an exchange for the unit.

If you PM me I can send you the Buzz 4 app update that was included with the Firmware update Just PM me your serial #

Will be fixed on Version # 4.0.494 when we resume the update again.
