Yes there is When in Live TV or VOD Press Menu Button Go to settings Go to Configuration You can change the Player for VOD/TV Series to External The next time you play a Movie or TV Show, you will be shown the external video players you have installed on the box and can choose which one you would like to use.

Chris T Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 That what I do. What I asked was is there anyway to mark them as "watched/viewed ". Like it does with the internal player where it puts an eye in the corner to show its been viewed/watched. It doesn't do it on an external player. So you can keep up with which episode/movie you have watched. Something like with Plex where you can manually "Mark" a TV show or movies as watcbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris T Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 I think it would be a good addition to have considering the internal player doesn't play all the different formats that the VOD and TV series are encoded in. It would be a thumbs up from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The default player built into our app is VLC Its libvlc, so the VLC app without the VLC UI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris T Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 I don't know to be honest. I just know some series and movies play without sound In secondary player and don't play at all in the default player. But with VLC as external player they play fine.

It will give me a list of files played with VLC like 5473464.mkv and 3577333.mkv which doesn't help that much and it won't mark them as played in buzz 5. Thanks for your help though.
