Issue was a bad hdmi 

I figured this much because if it was unit or service the info bar would have popped up when picture came back on. Glad it's sorted

glad you got it.

for epg you need to enter epg url.

I would use XC option with username and password instead of m3u option if possible. with this option you enter url, username and password and thats it. I think its better option.

Remember there is issue with buzz not reading m3u file but I agree xc login option is better. 

I did experience sound loss on the 4900 using wicked and I was watching a 24hr TV series channel. 

What happened was I changed the channel and went back to the previous and there was no sound. I clicked left arrow button to bring up sidebar and audio option said disabled. I had to wait a few hours for it to come back. I never reported it to wicked because I hardly watch the channel and it was no biggie. 

But I haven't experienced sound loss on regular channels on the 4900. Only the units using buzz tv4

You know, there are always those who just come on the site to post their views without reading. Most times responses to their views are there for them to see. It always happens

I am unable to record programs and play them back. The only way it works is if I record While the program is currently running and leave it on thst channel 

 

there must be a way to program recordings and actually have them able to play back. 
 

please advise 

There is a way...... Upgrade to the 4900 buzz unit and get a service that supports record one channel while you watch another. Good luck! 

I don't get this on the 4900 which uses buzz tv 5 software. However, units with the buzz tv4 software experience this once in awhile when the channel freezes

OP's issue resolved with Mozilla browser.

Got my new XRS4900. Was impressed with it I ordered a second one together with an 1TB SSD, Western Digital WD Green from Amazon.

I was able to use the PVR function and recorded to the drive OK. For some reason, using the file browser, I could not write to it.

Connected via the USB-C cable to my Windows desktop PC, also laptop I do not see the drive or the XRS4900 at all. I tried formatted the SATA drive both as internal system drive or external drive, but everytime I connected the XRS to my PC, that drive disappeared. I am very familiar with Android, having several android samsung phones and tablets and normally when you connect an android device to the pc, a box should pop up on the android device to ask whether you allow it to be charged or transfer data. I do not see anything from the XRS 4900. Maybe that is why I could not see it from my PC ?

I can somewhat confirm some of this and it goes way back to the 3000 series. I used to try to connect my phone to the buzz but it would never detect the mobile. Tried with future models and it still doesnt detect my mobile like a windows pc would do so transferring files to and fro is a no-no. 

I am unable to write to disk using pre-installed file browser.

Will or can Android versions be updated via Ota on this XRS49000?

Currently on android 9. 

 

No, it's not really a big deal. I learnt that a while ago after I had this same question

 with the amount of changes and improvements that are going to be included in this next update it sounds like you might have to rename the box the XRS 5000 lol

I think it might be enough to take it to XRS6000

That didn't help either I guess it's just one of those things I'm going to have to deal with for now @nbs.

This is ipvanish you're speaking about right? 

I checked and mine works

@nbs. correct me if im wrong but I thought default or secondary player one of those was vlc player.

thanks

I think default uses vlc

I think mine is off by default but I will give it a try when I get and report back. Thanks for letting us know.

If i have 4k movies on a hard drive with atmos hd, dtshd ect audio, will the box play the audio through my amp?

I don't know but give it a try....... Experimenting is fun and you have a great unit. 

The issue is with the URL, remove the/c or add it

Try recording to an external storage device like an SSD or flash drive.

I know that's exactly what I said

I believe it's another issue, I don't think it's related to catch up but rather rewinding when no EPG is available. I could be wrong

Anyone can replicate this on his xrs4900?

It will be fixed, I'll tell you why I have faith it will. 

A while back on the 3000 series you couldn't record a show that had no EPG. I made the buzz team aware of it and they were able to reproduce the issue. And guess what, it was fixed in the following updates. 

Bro these guys have an excellent track record and I'm glad you brought this issue to light so they're made aware of it and can look into it. Thanks
