whacked

- Added a How to Videos Row to the Home Screen

Just notice this addition on the Home Screen, very nice

yes I know they are different. I also testing this with X5 SS and the AC models and the P6  and with Buzz5, buzz6 and now the Buzz Lite on the Lunix , same results across the board. Some days no issues, most days there are. While the dreamlink t1 device has no channel issues at the very same time the buzz devices do.

I have given the devs here my server access a long time ago and even renewed that service access once since.  

been experiencing this for sometime. It started on the P6 box a few months ago, back in October,  channels would work and then they wouldn't 

I would get that Channel Stream error message on many channels, even if I landed on a working channel and then changed the channel and the went back to that working channel it sometimes would no longer work and show that error message. Then the X5 SS box did the same thing and this L1 does it a few times as well. 

I thought it to be server error, but when I connected another device (like the T1 dreamlnk) and with the same server credentials, all channels work with no exception. Changed back to the SS device and the error message came back on many channels.  

I am still not convinced this is not a server issue with channels. I use a admin access and I thought maybe that is making the difference as the admin access allows me to use any available server portal, but I don't know , it's confusing especially when I connect the T1 and get no channel errors. I did send aab a video showing the Channel error messages  on the P6 and then connected the T1 and no errors. But ironically that was around the same time my service had major issues which lasted a few days, so I didn't press the issue too much. Till I see this post from Emporium.

I have also had reports from a few other people in private messages with same issues at times.

Some days there are no errors, and some days there are and it's same with all  the 3 buzz devices I currently testing.

The L1 is showing channel error message today again on many channels, not just specific categories but across the entire channel line-up.

* not the same server as Emporium

I had the L1 off again for awhile as i was over on the SS model. I had the L1's power and ethernet unplugged.

Then the update message appeared almost within a few seconds and it went forward. Didn't take long to complete.

Updates on the L1 download in the background, then inform you that it can be installed
So if you check updates manually and it says no update found. It just means it hasnt updated in the background yet

 

We do this because some future updates will be like 3-4GB due to a Linux OS and Chrome Update
So that could take awhile if we showed it in the foreground
 

I had the ethernet and power cables unpluged since maybe last Friday. Just plugged them in today and that update message appeared right away.

I get what you explained but didn't seem to happen that way here... unless the preload was very fast and went straight to the accept message?

**UPDATE WILL APPEAR 1 HOUR AFTER BOOTING THE BOX OR AFTER 2 HOURS IF BOX IS LEFT ON**

I powered box up, streamed a channel for over 2 hours in the background, and then only when I went out to the home screen, about 20 seconds later, did it prompt me for an update.

 

that didn't happen like that here. This L1 had been powered off and the power cord and the ethernet had been unplugged as I had been testing another device for last couple days. But wanted to write up a server setup guide for a friend so I connected ethernet and power cables. Then Powered on the box for first time in a few days and within the first few seconds that Update message appeared.

I will be totally honest here. The only reason i brought any of this up was because during the update, just after I agreed to accepting it, I lost communication to my TV , it was an HDMI issue, but I was a bit worried I interrupted the update, so when that Home screen came back like it was I thought I had interrupted the update... I didn't want to mention that cause I didn't want o show my own stupidity, (I know that HDMI cable is faulty but I used it anyway)

Okay, I was never here

These 5 shortcuts are seen on Home Screen...

VOD -- TV Series -- EPG -- Server Settings -- Settings

including youtube icon?

nope

the reboot put things back to normal.

All shortcuts are back on Home Screen

Cool Beans

v1.0.106 is what this L1 now shows. It maybe a pushed test version.

I'll reboot

After newest update the Home Screen was scrubbed. Only the Server Settings and the Settings shortcuts are seen on the Home screen after the Update..

Not sure if this is an expected result , but thought I'd report it none the less

There is no bestest setting cause it depends on  conditions, usually network conditions, (a connection to a server is a network connection).

If connection to your service works great and you have very good network, adjust it to a lower number 0-1-2
If you have high latency, high ping, vpn or not so good ISP and network, adjust it to a higher number >10

Buffer Time can effect two things. When you are zapping channels and when a channel buffers while viewing the channel.

When a channel 'buffers' and with a higher buffer time set, then the longer it would take for the channel to reappear. The lower the setting, then it'd be quicker for  the channel will appear. The longer buffer time is to allow more stream to preload before playback, so it would not freeze as much because it's got more preloaded, kinda thing.  In theory.       But Not all freezing is 'network' buffering though, so the buffer time setting may not have an effect.

Hope everyone's Christmas season holidays went well  and wishing staff and members a great new year to come

Also did the update last night. I was quite surprised after the update was completed that I had the Buzz6 app sitting there on the Home Screen. I hadn't thought it was there before. Seemed like a nice surprise, or so I thought.   You see NBS told me last night about the update so I powered on the SS and there sure enough was an update. And after completion there was that Buzz6 app there on the Home Screen. I run 4 boxes at once thru a HDMI Switch, so I never have to disconnect reconnect HDMI cables, All I do is power up which ever device I want and the HDMI Switch picks up the signal and switches automatically. Easy Peasy. But turns out I had the P6 powered on (which I didn't realize) and at same time as the SS, so the HDMI Switch recognized the P6 and so as per happens, the P6 also had an Update waiting, and that's what I thought was the SS update.... lmao... I thought it was funny, still laughing at myself... I was so impressed that the SS device got the Buzz6 app as a surprise

loaded, installed and rebooted in  approx 4 minutes total time

lol, was this an advertisement dig  for Zidoo ?

Just asking

New Update install successfully confirmation message appeared onscreen about 5 minutes later , with release notes and version numbers listed.

The release notes were correct for the version and the firmware version showed correctly but the IPTV version showed as 5.0.937... but in the Update menu it shows as the new 5.0.938

No big deal , but is what I see

Preparing took about one minute. Then Downloading Installing took about 2 to 3 minutes. Then Reboot took about another one minute. Total time  about 5 minutes, including reboot.

Running WiFi connection

 Information now shows as --> V20240918 / 5.0.938

looks like Update has been acknowledged now.

'Preparing System Update' is in progress.

The preparing progress took only about a minute or so, And now as I type this the  Update is Downloading @ 43% currently

X5 128AI / Android 11 

V20230815 / 5.0.937

No update message appeared, nor is there an OTA update available thru the Settings>Update Menu.

I tried rebooting, didn't help though.

The X5 Super Sport however did show a message that there was an Update available. 

The SS is Android 13 so I figured it was a false message. I did try the Update though, just to be sure.

It did not load, but instead gave an error message about a Timestamp_Payload error. This was expected, but the X5 SS did show the Update Message and there was an Update showing as Available in the Update menu  and is still showing as Available.

While the X5 128AI / Android 11  does not show an Update available, nor will it find one, including with a reboot performed.

The device has been powered on about 20 minutes now and is set on Home Screen.

I will leave the device powered on to watch for any change.

with one of the older Buzz models I had gotten up to 10 on each of the 3 portals, which makes 30.

I stopped after I got to 10/30 

you can also see which server portal is connected while viewing LiveTV. 

While on a channel, press the Down key pad on the RCU and the server name will appear there in that bottom info bar.

in the past, naming a server was not so much  important, but now naming the server portal with a descriptive name comes into play

I told him to try a vpn 3 days ago...lol

yes you did, and he did finally take the advice.

I think he felt setting up a VPN would be difficult process with monies involved and etc... , till he did it.

Funny tho about the service reset, it was done not minutes before the VPN install, so hard to say which was the fix ... but both are ISP related.

I'm assuming your box eventually updated to 5.0.935 ?

not my box, but yes it did update to 935 -->Confirmed.

The 5.0.935 install did not change anything though.

The member installed IP Vanish  ... but just 5 minutes before that his service was reset as well... but he didn't know that so no test results were reported till after he had the VPN installed and tested with success.,,, so hard to say which fixed the issue but one or the other did.

issue resolved.

The service reset or the VPN fixed it. Either way it was an ISP issue.
