how would it work without info?

It never did with buzztv, that's why I was in touch with allaboutbuzz, time shift works OK with famous competitor box, you just click on rewind or left button I believe in remote and it keeps going to the past event,  almost like rewinding a video, I believe same way infomir box does. With buzztv unless you have an Epg time shift doesn't work. I know you'd expect all channels to have Epg but with some channels it's not the case

Last year I gave Allaboutbuzz access to my server where channels don't have Epg, I know techs from Ukraine were using it, he said firmware are is ready and will be pushed to my box but didn't hear back from him

I hope the firmware update people are talking about fixes this issue too, otherwise any idea what are the things that changed? 

Thx

You can PM me

Did pm you. We were in touch last year regarding little issue with using time shifting when no epg is there, so far it works only if there is Epg on the channel

Thx

Auto refresh rate isn't implemented in buzz, I mentioned that months ago, they may or may not add it

i would complain to service about no epg

Thx

Well. I had infomir une the past and without Epg you can rewind regardless, other box that uses android without mentioning the name does the same. 

If no EPG is available, it should just show the content by hour or something like that, that's what I always thought when I used other devices and it always worked

Already done but shouldn't really matter. Catch up should be related to timing not Epg, if no EPG is there, box needs to just set Epg to like not available and have ability to other to go back by hour like 2pm-1pm-12pm-11am-10-9-8....  That type of thing

This is a separate issue, well am not even sure if its 100% an issue

Normally channels that offer catchup also have EPG for that channel.  In our experience I haven't come across any channels that have catchup but no epg.

We will need to look into this, but would need to be able to reproduce it.

Sure. I can give you remote access if we need to or whatever you wanna do it or give you my credentials and change portal to whatever Mac address you give me

PM me whenever you are ready

Thx

Maestro is aware you have a different issue than his

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?

An update is due in a few weeks and will address catchup feature on the url login portals. I'm waiting like you are. Currently my catchup is not working and I have EPG so you are in a better position than I am. Let's wait it out and see. 

You're talking about catch up when using m3u. I know this issue

The problem even with portal url, catch up works only with EPG, if no EPG is available it won't work at all

Hopefully someone from the team can let us know if it's known issue or it's just me doing something wrong. 

Hi

I'm using portal url

I noticed that unless Epg is available that's when I can rewind to older time and from then fast forward if I need to

If Epg is not available I can't do that, I can't go back in time it says just loading or no information available, so catch up doesn't work 

Is that normal? I had another box and even without Epg I was able to use catch up without a problem

Thx for your inputs

There are currently no set dates for an Update

Just that were working a lot on it and testing a lot. 

There will be a lot of changes and fixes. 

 

 

 

Anyway to work on a app on phone for to help copy paste like air sync remote Z

Thx

Isp sometimes blocks iptv stream. Try to open portal using your phone (use both home wifi and lte/4g) if you see blank screen on wifi and stb not not supported on lte then  that means your Isp is blocking the stream, in that case try calling iptv service provider and ask if they have another portal url (most server have many links which lead to same server) sometimes Isp block certain url but not others

Iptv can be so tricky and hard to know where problem is

VPN obviously can fix the issue but connection won't be as good as home wifi or ethernet 

Buy adapter HDD to USB (they sell it cheap on Amazon) and plug it to a computer, you can do it in bestbuy store or something where they have display laptops and try formatting the HDD, before you take it back to your buzztv and see

Try removing your internal hard drive, format it using windows or something and place it back to buzztv. Don't format it using buzztv, just use it as it is and see how it works

It shows my recordings but when I click on them at bottom of screen says no recordings?

Did you format after your recording clips? 

I noticed buzztv still show the recorded videossfter you format the hard drive. You will see them but obviously they won't play. You need to delete anything that was recorded but you formatted after.  Make sure you set pvr to the external hard drive if you don't want to record in the internal buzztv memory

The Display setting in Android settings is for Resolution

It only determines automatically the best resolution your TV can support

 

What you're referring to is Auto Frame Rate to match the content that you're currently watching
We do not have this feature right now.
Its something we plan to add at a later date though.

I see

It'll be great to have auto refresh rate. Thx a bunch for quick reply 

I did pm allaboutbuzztv

do you have access to 4K VOD content (not youtube or other app) and see if you can playback videos without issues. some don't especially Skyfall 4K (James Bond movie)

Thx

Hi

I'm still playing with my XRS 4900 and on a learning curve. Thx for the forum and developers that listen to the feedback

I have some questions which are somewhat related.

When I turn on auto switch to best resolution, it default into 2160p60hz which I'm fine with but there are content (mainly non north american (europe, north africa, middle east) either iptv or movies that are 50hz but I don't see buzztv auto switch refresh rate when I change from 60hz content to 50hz content, what ever is set stays the same, if it's set to 60hz, all content is played 60hz, if I switch off auto switch to best resolution and set resolution to 2160hz50hz, all content is played at 50hz

You know some movies are run in 24 or 25hz, so it's good to have a box that auto switch refresh rate to avoid stuttering and frame drop here and there

I know it wasn't doable  with old android versions but I think they fixed that recently, even other competitors have that added and they don't even have full android TV but just modified android mobile or whatever it's called

I also saw  a display mode named 4k2k-smpte (not sure what smpte stands for)

Thanks for looking into this, or maybe I'm missing something and needs some clerance

menu/settings/configuration

you mean switching between default and secondary. Yes I just did that and it's still stuttering

btw which one you guys use for both live/vod/series: default or secondary? 

Thx

I forgot to ask if you have tried both media players?

what 2 media players you are referring to? are there 2? I only use the default one with buzztv 5, not sure how to switch with a different player f it exists

when you say pm info. what kind of info he needs? but anyway I can send him more info. I know it's an .mkv that is being played

Thanks

Hi

I just bought xrs4900. I like the buzz 5, I'm still learning how to use, features to add... 

I just noticed some of 4k movies on vod don't play, well they do play for few seconds but stutter and get blocked for 10 seconds or so then plays for a seconds then stops again 

It doesn't happen for all 4k movies but just some of them

I tried same movie from on same iptv server on a formuler box and I noticed same the issue

I then tried same movie using smart iptv on LG TV and it played well without any stuttering 

So I'm guessing it's a codec issue, I don't know if there is a way to try a different media player or if someone is having similar issue. I can give access to my box or give a trial to same server and will tell you the movie that does not play as it should

Thx 

To avoid confusion. I guess some people don't know what I'm talking about

The app I'm talking about is air sync remote z 

Thx

Hi

I'm excited about my new buzztv xrs4900. It should arrive tomorrow 

I come from a different android TV which is a different brand but has decent features, xrs4900 is a beast when it comes to specs. Im sure you know the app that I'm talking about, I can post the name but I don't wanna brake the forum rules by mentioning a competitor,  app is super helpful especially when you need to write a long url or things of that nature. I hope the support team can work in building such amazing app.
