Audio sync and screensaver issues

[Chris Thomas]

I'm hoping for some assistance. Most of the channels it seems the audio gets off after a few minutes. Only way to fix is to refresh the channel. I'm using a sound bar connected via HDMI to my tv. X5 is also connected via HDMI to my tv. The second issue is I have installed two different screen saver apps and neither of them will work. Thanks for any ideas.

In live tv click on menu, settings, configuration and in video play try the other player.

I had the same problem when i hooked up to my receiver and found backup works best for me

if you dont see improvement with above solution then try to bypass surround bar and see if it plays fine on tv.

So I have been using backup player the last few days. That seems to have worked. The backup player doesn't have time shift though which is sad. Thanks guys

Chris,

I am having similar audio sync issues with the Buzz X5 app with primary player.  TiviMate with MX Player Pro on my X5 does not seem to exhibit this issue .  For me, it makes watching live TV  a total PITA having to refresh the channel.  Sometimes it can be a only slight mis-sync and we can live with it, other times it is totally disruptive and we have to switch to TiviMate or my other Android TV device.  I also find that the secondary player is better from an audio sync standpoint, but it doesn't seem to have as good a picture as the primary player.  I will give it a longer trial and see if this impression persists. 

Wish there was an option to select MX Player Pro or VLC as an external player.  Could be that one or both of these are the Buzz "built-in" players, but I have not seen this info anywhere on the blog.  Not sure what technical issue could be the cause of this audio sync issue ?

it's been posted many times that vlc is one of the video players

[cyrowth]

Is VLC the primary or secondary player ??  Do you  know what the other Buzz player is ?? 

[nbs.]

Vlc is an external player which can be used in buzz 5

[cyrowth]

nbs, can you outline the steps to set an external player in the X5 ??

[Ryu]

open buzztv app, press menu, configuration, vod+tv series, select external
