not sure if you've read but canadian isp's are blocking services

my laptop with linux mint has ipvanish installed so I can use the webplayer and not get blocked

any chance of a few popular vpn's being loaded in a firmware update?

Open VPN will be added soon. 

Linux has no apps for VPN that work with remotes. You could Always just use a VPN on your router.

The recovery screen never comes up, I’ve tried this over and over again.

Change the resolution on your box to 1080P then try it again

Any idea why I can’t it get it to factory reset?

If its a classic, try holding down the power button instead of the reset button inside the AV hole

24 minutes ago, Rhian said:

Is there any way to remove the app?

No, its a system app that is built into the box

That's if you're referring to the Buzz app

Just now, Rhian said:

It only started doing this 2 days ago. It's been working perfectly for at least a year.

Then our app wouldn't cause this

The buzztv app is opening multiple connections to my iptv server (like 7 at a time), and I’m being kicked out of my iptv server because I cannot have more than 2 connections at a time. Everything says I’m updated to latest updates on the box. Anyone know it’s opening multiple instances of itself in the background?

Have you tried changing the password for your account?
I know in the past some users have had their accounts hacked and shared online, so that could be what is causing 7 connections at a time

As our app would not cause this otherwise.

Like allaboutbuzz tried to explain.  You need to change the EPG from XML to Server.  You can either do that from the SERVER screen, if you edit the server there is are 3 options at the bottom, one of them is for EPG Source.  Change it from XML to SERVER.   Otherwise you can do it directly from LiveTV, you can press MENU->SETTTINGS-CONFIGURATION and scroll down to GUIDE/EPG settings, and the first option is EPG Source.  Change it to SERVER instead of XML.

 

That options only on Buzz 5

Buzz 6 only uses Server EPG right now, it sounds to me like Server EPG isn't working right now on the server they're using

Only XML EPG is

I suggested to try changing it to Server EPG on Buzz 5 to rule that out

13 hours ago, Elie said:

  it is XC user name and password

On Buzz 5

In the Configuration menu for the server you're using, try changing EPG Source from XML to Server

If Server gives no EPG, then it means EPG is down using that Source on the server you're using.

The P6 currently uses Server EPG on XC Username and Password only
We will add XML support soon

allaboutbuzz, thanks for that great info!  Is that the same for the picture?  I don't want the X5 SS to upscale the live TV video feed, but pass it on as is to the TV, and let the LG TV do it, as it will do it better.  What is the equivalent video setting to make sure this happens?

Grateful for your help.

HDMI Passthrough is for Audio only on our boxes

So couple/few issues I am encountering on my P6. So sometimes my P6 ha6d the red light on but it is actually on and works like normal with a green light. (First picture)

Second issue is P6 keeps disconnecting (forgets) my m.2 NVME external drive that I have formatted as internal. I have to reboot the P6 in order for it to be recognized and usable again. This happens almost daily after waking up the shield. (2nd and 3rd picture)

Third issue is some apps not playing sound on my Vizio sound bar using HDMI cable. Paramount+ was one of the apps. It would actually play sound on the preview but if I go watch a show, any show no sound. Since they fixed the Bluetooth I just use my Vizio sound bar with Bluetooth and works with no issue. 

The external drive issue listed above is by far the worse of the 3 issues I have at the moment. 

Did you format the Drive before or after the previous OTA we sent?

As we fixed this issue with the drives on the last OTA, and it might require you formatting it again

How do I enable HDMI passthrough on my X5 SS to my LG G4 OLED TV? Can't find the settings under CEC or Display &Sound. Have wired connection to 1 GiG speed and a 2.1 HDMI cable to TV.

Thanks for your help.

Pretty sure its on by default

But its in Display & Sound

Under the Sound Menu
Advanced sound settings

Make sure Automatic is turned on

Then HDMI Passthrough for sound works automatically

Not at home right now, but going from memory, I think there is an option for "decode and bitstream" under settings, no ?

 

That's on P6, not SS

Will need to look into where App Installer went

And we removed the notification of apps installing on first boot

As majority of our dealers complained it added to the setup time of setting up new boxes, as they cannot use the remote while its doing this

So somehow this was taken out of System apps on the last Firmware updates

Were not sure how it went unnoticed
We have it added back for the next Public Firmware update

Me personally, I prefer using File Browser to side load apps, as it shows file names better than App Installer
In case you have multiples of the same apps, but different versions on your USB

Well, I had my Classic disconnected since I had lent it to my sister and it was still on 20240202 fw.  And Appinstaller was there.

Did a factory reset, rebooted, and it was still there. 

Took the V20240927 update, and now Appinstaller is gone on my box also.  So it is not an isolated case.  Strange.

Did another factory reset, and it cleaned up everything, including Disney+ and Netflix   You no longer notice a message in the middle saying "installing yxyxyxyx" one after the other for the "preinstaled apps".  But they are being installed in the background without any actual notice.  I keep going into "All Apps" and backing out, and you do eventually see Netflix and Disney+ show up.

I personally liked the dialog in the center after the first boot that would show you that it was installing apps, so you knew to just wait

But Appinstaller is gone.  Did hard and soft resets, no difference.

This morning I did a hard reset on the two XRS4500 boxes here at my home, they worked fine. This afternoon I connected the one of the XRS4500 Boxes to the router after rebooting the modem and my friends router and the box gave me the same error message. I connected directly to the modem one at a time and both boxes worked fine. So I brought the router here and connected it to my modem and plugged in my XRS4000 box to the router and my box works fine. My next thought is to reset the router and take it back to my friends house and try it again. The router is a D-Link R18 router. Any thoughts about this issue? Your opinions and answers are very much appreciated.

Try hot spotting your phone to the boxes at their house

If it works when doing that, but doesn't work when connected to their Internet

Then it means their ISP is now blocking the server, you would need a VPN to get around this

It probably explains why the boxes work at your location, but not theirs

Using a Hot Spot will rule this out.

Can Buzz ever fix this problem, maybe by adding supported codecs.

Problem is mainly with recorded playback. This problem has been going on for years.

I've had every box made since the BuzzTV XR4000, 3 different ISP's, VPN or No VPN & all had this problem.

Just bought 2 new BuzzTv X5 SS, same problem on playback, Media format is not supported

Have you tried playing the recordings back on VLC or MX Player to see if they work there?
