XRS 4500 VOD Issue

[MMJ]

Hi, Whenever I pause a movie on VOD it exits after a couple of minutes. On resume, it starts from random time not from the same time it was paused. Is there a solution to this problem?

Moreover, my BuzzTv XRS 4500's software never updated eversince I bought it and is stuck at 2021 version. Is there a way to update it manually?

Responses for both of my problems from the community would be highly appreciated. 

Regards,

MJ

Thats not up to date

Hit menu button check updates to see if it will load 

If not get a usb stick and save your server and app settings and do a reset

You will lose any apps you have installed

[MMJ]

@nbs., Thanks for your advice. Can you please also explain if convenient, how to take a backup on USB and restore it once the box is updated? I would really appreciate that. Moreover, whenever I try to update the box it says that I already have the latest version installed for XRS4500.

There are two places to update one through settings  and one through menu button 

I am not sure if your version has the backup and restore that allows you to backup up servers and favs

Its located in menu button configuration 

[MMJ]

I tried both the options for updating but, it didn't work. Seems like there are no backup/restore functions available in my model. However, I'll try noting down the server settings and resetting the box manually. Thanks for your support. Stay blessed.

Take a note of the server setting (including URL and any user/pass assuming you are using XC).  

From the main updates screen after yo check and it says that you are up to date, blindly type "2015" on your remote and see if it offers you to update to BuzzTV 5.  If so, it will download a version of BuzzTV 5 and do the update.  Over the next few hours it will take probably 2 or 3 updates to bring it up to the latest.  

Once it is all done, you should be up to f/w: V20220919 and IPTV version 5.0.946  (which is the latest public version for the 4500)

Personally once it is fully updated, I would then do a full h/w reset to ensure everything starts clean (and no residual settings from pre-BuzzTV5).  And then start from scratch and create your server entries and stuff.

It'll take a while, but worth it in my opinion.  Will bring your buzz software to the same level as the 5 series boxes also, and get any future updates.

Listen to Emporium 

I missed that you  were on buzz 4

No, It's not Buzz 4 but, XRS4500. I wonder if they are the same.

[MMJ]

@Emporium, Entering 2015 worked but, it is giving me serious warnings that it's a Beta version and I should install it at my own risk and there is no way to revert back. I'll try and attach an image.

[dishuser]

take the update

[MMJ]

@dishuser, No risk? Mine is not Buzz4 but XRS4500 an old one.

you have the buzztv 4 app

update to buzztv 5

[Emporium]

Yes, you have an xrs4500, and it is running BuzzTV 4 (IPTV version is 4.0.530 as you mentioned).  This will update the App to BuzzTV 5 (IPTV version 5.0.xxx).  Don't worry about the warning.  BuzzTV 5 has been out of beta for years, so it will update and then take a few more updates afterward to come up to the versions I mentioned.

There is no risk, as long as you don't shut it down as it is updating

If your server is an XC API type login, then entering the URL/credentials should be simple enough.  It is was MAC, you may need to ask your reseller to reset your box on their panel.

Once it is all done, you will be running the same IPTV version that is running on the 5 series boxes (Classic, X5, U5, etc...).  Now that is what you call "long term" support   After all these years and still getting updates (and will continue to do so for a little while).

 

 

[MMJ]

Thanks man! I'll give it a try and update accordingly. 

[nbs.]

You won't regret it

[MMJ]

it shows you in the pic you uploaded

plus backup and restore your buzztv app has been added

[nbs.]

You'll like the new look of vod

[Emporium]

And not sure if this was on 4.x, but if you long press the "last channel" button, you get a list of you last 20 or so channels you can cycle through.  Handy if you are cycling between 3 or more channels.  Oh and now you can create more than one favourites group

You should now be at 5.0.946.

If you want more details of updates/features and fixes over time, you can go through some of the pinned posting in the BuzzTV 5 section when you have some time to read

Enjoy.

Thank you awesome peeps once again. @dishuser I made sure while clicking the pic that the TV screen doesn't catch my reflection
