That info is NOT in the movie list provided by the service as far as I know.  So short of downloading/playing part of EVERY single VOD, that would not be possible I'm sure.   Even the movie info/summary is pulled from tmdb/imdb, depending on the movie titles.  So no real way of knowing what version/resolution/quality the file being served by a service is.

 

 

when watching it info brings that up

I understood that they wanted to see this info from the VOD/TV Series selection screen before they watch it. When watching, then obviously it is available

I may have misunderstood.

This is a WISHLIST after all.  Does not mean they are wishes that will be granted

 

[Emporium]

When you are in categories and go to "organize categories", it would be nice to use the CH+/CH- buttons to scroll through the categories quicker (like you can in Channel list and EPG view)

I'd like to be able to change channel names and manually sort channel orders.

i dont know if this was mentioned but would be nice to have a channel history when searching channels instead of just the 1 go back & forth button..someting similar that Tivi mate uses when selecting ok button..i always like where you have a selection of at least 5 channels that ive been too

[gig63]

I believe you have to hold back button down for that

As mentioned.  That option has been on buzz boxes for ages.  Long Press the "back/last ch" button and it should bring up a list.  On BuzzTV 5, I think it was 20 last stations.. On the Powerstation (BuzzTV 6), it looks like it is a LOT longer than that (I have about 50 of them in my list)   Very handy when switching between 3 or more channels.

thanks..little tricks that helps

Be able to do cloud storages on your network that all your Buzz TV PowerStation can play and record too. And to be able to back up your total buzz Tv box with all the apps and passwords you

I would like to see a better Mute button position on the BT-500. Perhaps an option to add "mute" to the colored button mapping. 

[Emporium]

The colored buttons are only "user" mapped when you are outside of the buzztv app and primarily on the home screen.  When you are in buzztv app, the colored buttons are controlled by the app, and the legend is always on the bottom depending on what screen/function you are on.

But if you don't like the layout of the BT500, you can always pick up another buzz remote (BT200, BT250, BT350, etc..). 

Or instead of using the mute button, just press and hold the volume down button, takes less than a second to go from 100 to 0.  That's what I do, since I am always using the buttons around the Dpad.

ask them to invite you next time they design a new remote control.

I don't use the BuzzTV app. Just Tivimate and the added option to map one of the coloured buttons for mute would be very helpful.

Didn't say that. But do you honestly think I only use this box specifically for Buzz apps?

Then ask the dev of Tivimate to allow you to map a key to mute in their app.

Title of thread is:  "BuzzTV6 Application: Wishlist for New Features and Enhancements"

3rd party apps can do as they wish, but they are not supported by Buzz.  You request has NOTHING to do with BuzzTV 6.

If you don't, then you are obviously in the wrong forum.

Now that is amusing and naive. I think it said wish list. But thanks for your input. Going to let this go now as I certainly don't want to hijack a thread for an inane arguement. Have a buffer free evening.

There is NOTHING naïve about it... This is the the "BUZZTV 6 Application" wish list.  You are not using the BuzzTV 6 application, since you clearly said you are using Tivimate, your request makes no sense.  The colored buttons are mapped at the HOME screen for whatever user wants to program them to launch, and then once in an app, the APP can map them, just like the archaic STBEMU allows you to map every damn key on the remote to an action.   

If the dev of Tivimate does not want to do that, that is their choice.   They are the ones who can do that in their app.
