New Firmware upoate available for XRS4900. Version 20220718

[Ajs007]

XRS4900  keeps notifying of available update , version 20220718 , OTA update sent on August 29, 2022. After download this version does not load do to error. I notice that the iptv version (5.0.748) in 20220718 is most likely older than the iptv version (5.0.765) in current loaded firmware  20220506, which may be creating  the error. Can this be fixed or do we just live with the notifications until a future update?  Anyone else have similar problem?

[Ajs007]

Update not upoate. I should learn to spell check.

[Emporium]

Agreed that the BuZZTV version is older, but the Firmware version is newer (20220718 vs your 20220506).   So odds are that it will update you to 20220718 firmware  with older version 5.0.748 of BuzzTV5 and then after reboot there will be an OTA update to bring you up to back to 5.0.765 or 766.

Are you by any chance short of internal storage space ?

[Ajs007]

No problem with internal storage space. A hard reboot never fixed the problem either. 20220718 firmware downloads and when it installs it gets to about 20% then error. Could the problem be firmware version 20220718? Does anyone have this version installed?

[Emporium]

Hmm.. Very strange..  Here is one of my 4900 boxes..

My firmware is still at V20220106, but I do have the latest BuzzTV 5 (5.0.766).

For BuzzTV, the latest is 5.0.766 (at least as of yesterday).   But have no clue on the later firmware versions (20220506 and 20220718 ) that you show as having and attempting to update to.

I think we'll have to wait for @allaboutbuzzto comment on this one.

Same here

 

 

[dishuser]

checked at half time

even entered 2015

have the same as you guys

[Emporium]

OK.. So the 3 of us have V20220106, and BuzzTV 5 (5.0.766) on our xrs4900 boxes.

So it is strange how Ajs007 is showing something more recent (installed 20220506, and 20220718 being offered as update).

[dishuser]

what's weird to me is the firmware they're running is exactly 4 months newer...lol

[Ajs007]

Seems that I may have to take it to manufacturer.  Perhaps a glitch somehow? With the current version being (5.0.765) and current loaded firmware  20220506,  I get the coloured menu buttons to show up that I have only seem on the X5 and HD5 series. No sign of the Buzz remote app though, so new remotes only work as BT300.  Funny, now the yellow is missing.

[dishuser]

those coloured button options have been there for a while

by the way yellow is for tv series

[Emporium]

You can probably do a manual installation using the file from here, and then you would be able to do a typical OTA update.

 

BUT before doing that, I would day, wait for @allaboutbuzzto comment.  Just in case there were is something we are not aware of.

it's been posted many times you can't downgrade firmware unless something has changed

[Ajs007]

Problems are now solved. The XRS4900 now reads firmware version: 2022-0506 and iptv version: 5.0.768.  All is good and the box is up to date. Buzz is the BEST!

[Gary9]

Ajs007 If you don't mind, could you tell us how your problem was solved?

even if you could why would you want to?

[Emporium]

Also on 0106.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it

 

[Ajs007]

All I did was select update. and there was no more V20220718 available to download .  I am currently running V20220506 with iptv version 5.0.769 and it is running perfectly.
