Gilles1945 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Why am I getting freezing in Buzz video player primary and on backup no freezing ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emporium Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 For TV or VOD/Movies ? Different providers use different encoding for some of their movies. And there is no universal player that can play everything. Would be nice, but it doesn;t. In my case, with my services, I have no freezing regardless of which player. But the backup player does seem to take a few seconds longer to initialize and get started, but once it starts, it is smooth. So no big deal. If it is for VOD, you can also set your player to external and select any other player you prefer to use (MX Player, VLC Player, HB player, etc..). VLC player is already installed, but others you obviously need to install. This is WHY you have options. If backup works better for you, then stick with backup.

Gilles1945 Posted October 12, 2023 Author Share Posted October 12, 2023 Thank you Emporium, It's on TV and I got another provider and still doing it there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emporium Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Are you wired or wireless ? Have you tried rebooting your router ? Is box from a clean boot, or after multiple suspends ? Try unplugging the power, and let it boot up properly (boot animation logo and all) to ensure it is a fresh clean boot. I have not checked on the X5, but many of my older boxes (buzz or other), if I keep suspending them, eventually they network starts to act up. So I have since stopped suspending them and just always do a shutdown. OK, adds an extra minute to the boot time, but at least I don't need to guess what is causing any glitches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other box didn't do that. my x5 does it also depends on your service I don't rely on timeshift since it only goes back as far as when you started watching like an OEM stb like my bell 9242 if you have a service with catchup you'll get a better experience some say it's wicked 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
