Thanks for the reply. Just curious as why it was acting up. I have never had to change the player before on any Buzz box. The default player has always worked.

Thanks: I switched to backup video and it is working for the last 10 minutes. Does that mean the primary video is corrupt?

Live tv. Video freezes after 20 seconds. Audio still plays. Up or down channel then back video will play for 20 seconds and freezes again. Unplug and plug back in does not fix the problem. Cleared all caches I could find, no change. Hard wired. Cloned the mac to my 3900 It plays with no problem. Both hooked up to the same tv same channel at the same time. Swap hdmi ports makes any difference. I would do a reset but I do not know how to save my kodi favorites. (would be a royal pita to enter every thing again) My u5 died just after the warranty ran out, this one is getting close to the end of warranty. Version 5.0947 Suggestions?

Thank you I will try what suggest.

Thanks for the response. I was wanting to record it to a thumb drive or sd card as mp3 so I could take it and have tunes while traveling.

I am wanting to record audio only. (music channel live tv) Am I out to lunch on this? I have only stuck a toothpick in there before and don't want to screw things up. Can I use the av port on the box? What type of 1/8 male plug is required? (tip & sleeve, tip & (# of) rings & sleeve) What is the type of output is it, (analogue, digital of some sort)? Would be recording to a mini computer.

For headphones It is a rf transmitter connected by optical to the tv. Yes sony soundbar. Going to go through all the wiring, cables, coax, etc. to try and sort things out with some remnants from sat receivers .(would make a spider proud). There is no combination CEC that has not been tried on X5SS or the tv. Maybe a total rerouting of things will work. Stuff goes in and out holes in the wall behind tv, sound bar, and wall mounted shelf. Not to worry, probably making mountains out of mole hills.

I have tried manual remote programing no joy. I will just have to resign myself to having to use 2 remotes. The one paired with bt works properly, but not the others.

Tv is older sony xbr 65x900e. Any buzz boxe that I have used in the past 2000, 3000, 3900, 4900, U5 (until it died) were all plug and play with the remotes adjusting tv volume. With the buzz box volume set to high. Did not have to do any setting adjustments on tv or the buzz box. X5 ss just received. Decided to pair bt-400 and it works fine adjusts tv volume, except will not turn on or off the tv, no big deal. This remote lives in the kitchen and is used when we have our evening meal and is used to change news channels. Tried to get a second bt-400 to work. It will not work tv volume. It will not work any volume unless the force max volume is turned off then it will ony work x5 volume. I spent 6 hrs yesterday adjusting settings on tv and the x5 ss and 2 hrs today. Pair second bt-400 does not work or unpair does not work tv volume, it will work all other functions of the x5. I have factory reset tv and the x5 to no avail. Someone will probably say just turn tv volume up and use x5 to set the output level. Except I usually use headphones connected to tv and that is controlled by the buzz volume (tapping volume into tv rather than out?) I have tried every conceivable setting that I can find on the tv and x5 to get second bt-400 whether paired unpaired or reset to control tv volume. A arq 100 plugged in to the x5 does not work either. I could use tv remote to control volume but I liked the use of one remote as in the past.

No the same wall wart powers up the 4900.

Ordered 2023/07/01 has been working fine. Shut off last night when we went to bed. Paid not attention to it until now and it has no light on. Took out the hard drive, tried to do a reset on the back no luck. Wall wart is ok as I dug out the 4900 and it powers up. Any suggestions?

Just a couple of minutes. I have never used that feature so do not know what the response time typically is. Did the unplug so will have to wait until it acts up again.

Acted up again just now with turn on. YouTube. Can do a search pick a video but does not play. Shows search result icons click on one but no play. Goes to a black screen. VOD . Can pick an icon does not play. Live tv "menu" pick radio will play audio. ivptv is a mac server.

Set to shutdown. Get the buzz logo etc. Goes to home screen briefly for couple of seconds then automatically to live tv. Hard wired connection. YouTube test will have to wait for the next time it acts up. Working properly right now.

It first happened about 6 weeks ago then 2 weeks ago. Now it has happened 2 days in a row. When I turn on the U5 I have it set to go to live tv. The issue is when it is finished its start up procedure I have no video or sound. I have a loaded guide which shows me which channel I am on, I can change channels but still no video or sound. Changing severs does not make a difference. Menu works. Home button works. I have cleared all caches. On Kodi I get sound but no video. Turning off and back on does not work. To get it to work I have to pull the power and plug it back in. Hopefully I do not have to do a reset and lose everything saved. Any suggestions? Version 5.0.906

I was going to do a factory reset to see if it would fix no stream problem with an iptv service. I tried to back up the box with a usb stick. Now I have a dead android on the screen with access door open, and android recovery on the top left in yellow and some options in blue, reboot system now, reboot to bootloader apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, etc. etc. I stuck the usb stick back in got a (no such file or directory). Unplugging and restart ends up on the same page. Suggestions?

Outstanding service problem fixed. Thank you Siddeley

I have pulled the 4900 out and replaced it with the 3900 using the cloned mac address from the 4900 and the guide loads extremely fast on it. The 4900 may not like how the provider sends the guide. I do not know. I don't have clue as to how it works. Hopefully Buzz can figure out a work around I would like to use the 4900 but I like to have a guide better so I will use the 3900 until a remedy comes.

This morning checked and the 4900 guide is still slower than the second coming. Pulled the 4900 out installed the 3900 . Cloned the 4900 mac address on to the 3900. Connected went to live tv punched in random channel # hit guide and the page loaded withing 4 seconds. Scrolled up and down pages in the guide and channels were being loaded. Swapped 4900 in did a reset waited until the box was done. Entered server address and connected. Picked a channel hit guide had that channel on guide loaded took 4 minutes 10 minutes later still have 6 channels loaded still waiting for 2. Half an hour later page down guide 1 channel loaded. Page up 2 channels loaded. It is not my provider that is the problem. The box and or the software is defective. the 3900 can fast load the guide the 4900 cannot and as stated above this box does not have the fast load button shown in Live TV Menu.

Ok thanks will contact the provider to see if there is a fix. Odd though that the 3900 had no problems loading the guide. I transferred the sub from the 3900 to the 4900 so there should have been no change.

I mean the missing fast epg load button

Is this iptv provider issue rather than the buzz box?

Do not have that Fast Loading EPG on off choice. pictured Thanks for the picture.

Been there. Under guide/epg settings all I have is : epg time offset clear epg. No fast load option. Cleared epg still takes the same time. Cleared cache No joy.

I searched and could not find a way fast load the epg. Will have to be led by the hand to the location. Sorry.
