Update went smoothly and I appreciate all the updates/fixes!  Especially happy Standby mode is working properly!

one of the servers I use has that

Same - that's "Cloud Timeshifting" if you will.  We are talking about local time-shifting using as USB drive or internal storage.

Agreed - would be fantastic to have time-shifting functionality.

PM me please
Thanks

I had some free time this afternoon so I unplugged the box for 2 mins and started testing from scratch again.   Not sure why I was having issues immediately after updating, but my testing this aft had better results.  Now when I enter standby, the red light stays red (instead of turning blue again after a minute) and when I wake the box although I get the following error, if I click "cancel" I can watch TV again with no issues:

This obviously has something to do with the file commander app I have installed, so I wonder if that had something to do with the issue all along.  I'll keep playing around and will report if uninstalling file commander clears everything up completely.

Thanks!

The server you're using must be kicking your connection then after a certain # of hours.

I can replicate the issue immediately after powering-on, and it doesn't affect other boxes (which shall not be named) using the same providers (happens on any i've used).  It doesn't really matter for me because it's easy enough to refresh the connection, but if you want a video showing the behavior I can provide one.

-Fresh power cycle
-Connect to provider and watch TV
-Enter standby (either while watching TV, or by first exiting live tv using menu option)
-Wake from standby no live TV until refresh connection

I disabled it for Google Play Store but I still kept hearing that annoying chime noise.  I have now disabled the option here (when you press volume up/down):

Haven't heard the chime noise since, so knock on wood that fixed it!

wouldnt go away after clearing data   I turned notifications off

How do you turn notifications off?  Every so often I hear this "chime" noise, even when my android volume is muted.  I'm pretty sure this is a system notification noise but I can't find where to disable it...

is power option set to live tv?

Doesn't matter what the power option is set to, whenever I wake from standby live TV doesn't work again until I refresh connection (or power cycle box).

The issue I posted about originally still exists for me, but the new "refresh" feature added with the recent update fixes the issue quickly.

- Added New Refresh Feature to slide out menu, you can now refresh the channel list + vod/tv series lists quickly.

Wondering are you logged into the PlayStore?

Yes I am indeed logged into the PlayStore.

Update from V20210221 went fine with no issues during install.

After update I also received the above error (android setup keeps stopping) - followed instructions for fixing (had to click "app info" several times before I could even get to "clear data") then power cycled box completely.  After reboot, I got a single "alarm" notification, but nothing since.

@Xhumeka I haven't tried that but that doesn't help fix my issue? The customer connects via Wired or WiFi and out of the box WiFi is turned on.

If you or the developers are trying to bug fix an issue, answers to questions like this might help determine root cause.

Blackmagic - what happens if you ARE connected via wifi, but also connected via ethernet.  Does the ethernet speed remain locked to 100mbps?

Any plans to support the Bell Fibe TV App?  I installed through Google Play Store but video won't play.  Cheers!

I tested a bunch of recording recently with no issues at all.

-No SATA drive, just using internal memory
-Scheduled or on-demand recording worked fine
-tested recording a news channel for 3 hours, not one hiccup
-service using stalker portal
-connected via wifi

I should also mention that the blue light at the front never changes colour when entering standby, it remains solid blue.  I thought it should change to orange from what I read, but maybe that's just for previous boxes?

Just picked up my first BuzzTV box yesterday (the XRS4900) and love this unit!

One question I have however is related to stand-by mode, and watching live TV after waking.  It seems anytime I press the power button to standby/sleep, I need to reset the box completely before live TV works again.  I have tried putting in standby mode while watching live tv, as well as exiting the live tv app via the MENU button, and entering standby mode from the home page.  Either way, once pressing power again to wake the unit up once more Live TV no longer works (says stream is unavailable).  Once I restart the box completely (hold power button, select restart) I'm able to once again watch live tv.

Is this expected behavior?  Should I be powering the unit off completely instead of using standby?

I'm using a MAC address server if that matters.

Thanks, and again, GREAT BOX!!!
