Looking for help, I have two devices one is the Buzz Power station featuring the Buzz 6 app. The other is the U5 using the Buzz 5 app. On both I was connecting with live TV using an M3U server connection. Let me know if you need the provider. The url I used works on my Buzz 5 app, but when used on the Buzz 6 app it plays for about 30 seconds then freezes. I reached out to the provider and was met with them saying they don’t use the app. Do know that they support Tivimate and other apps that use m3u8 files. I have tried the urls they have for those apps but get a connection error message. Please let me know if you need more information. Do know that can connect with Buzz 5 on the U5.

This is usually caused by the type of encoding done on their streams (usually happens to a lot of public streams).  BuzzTV 6 and BuzzTV 5 use different video players.  In case you were not aware of it, the Power station does also have BuzzTV 5 available in the apps section which you can use if you want.

Does your provider offer an XC stream option ?  It's usually the best option (instead of M3U).  You can probably try it yourself and see if it works.

Your M3U URL string is probably in the form  (BTW: if you do have an "output=" option at the end of your string, what is it ?)  

http://your.server/get.php?username=[username]&password=[yourpassword]&type=m3u_plus&output=mpegts

If you create an XC server, from the M3U string.  You can use any "name" for the Server. use the "your.server" value for your server URL.  Use the "[username]" field for the username and similar for [password].  And then save and try to connect.

If you want to try Tivimate, you can download the apk to your PC, copy the apk file to a USB stick and then you can insert usb stick into the Powerstation and go to file manager and install it.
