MAC sent. Thx

[Terry Knapper]

A couple of observations, I have noticed, since the Oct 12th update.

As I record a lot of live TV , 20/20, Dateline etc., I have noticed a couple of things.

If I stop watching a recording , then go back to watch, I don't get the option to watch

where I left off. I had this option before  the 10122022.

Also If I FF a recording, or a TV series,  or even at the start of a recording , the first thing that happens is that I 

have to push the FF button quite a few times to start Fast Forwarding. Once the  FF has begun it works as it should.

Also , on a recorded show, the fist thing that happens when the FF is working, and I FF.  the recorded show will go back about 5 min.

then FF.

These are just my observations since 10122022.

I have no issues with ff and I get the attached message when going back to recording

[Terry Knapper]

Yes I am

[Terry Knapper]

On my VOD I get the "continue" message. On my "TV Series" I don't get a continue message. I don't remember if I 

got the continue message before, but, I believe so.

I just checked a recording from last night. Same issues,  for me, as stated above.

On tv series the continue watching is on the screen for TV series

Need a few people to test this 

[dishuser]

on vod I get resume

on tv series I get continue watching

on recordings I get asked if I would like to resume playback

[Terry Knapper]

In my case, recorded shows will not fast forward, at the beginning , or for the first time, unless I pause first.

On recorded shows recorded before, or after, 10122022, will go back 9 min on a FF before the shows goes ahead(FF).

And all recordings will not allow a "resume" play.

On  a TV series I do not get a "resume" play option.

My be I'm the only one. I guess we wait and see.

I think you need to clear data or do a reset jmo

"nbs" what do you mean by "clear data" or reset.

meaning reset app or box.

to reset app, settings, apps, buzztv5, clear data and clear cache

to reset box, settings, device preferences, about, factory reset

[Terry Knapper]

If I clear data and/or clear cache will I lose my scheduled recordings on my scheduled recording page?

With just Clear cache, NO.

Clear Data, YES.  all buzztv5 info is gone.  You will need to re-enter all your server info, redo all you favorites, and schedules.

 

[Terry Knapper]

Will clear data accomplish the same as factory reset? 

[nbs.]

No buts it's a first step which might fix your issue 

[Terry Knapper]

Thanks "nbs" and "E" .

I'll try the factory reset on Wed. I have a bunch of stuff recording tomorrow day & night.

I'll let you know how it works out.

[Terry Knapper]

Interesting thing happened today.

My recordings are working as they should.

FF right away , resume , it's a miracle! I didn't do anything ; as usual according to my wife!

Well, this weekend I recorded some shows. All my recordings went like I mentioned above (Oct 15th)

Not only that, but, recordings done prior to this weekend are acting the same way.

Would a factory reset be in order?  

[Terry Knapper]

I bit the bullet, and did the dreaded factory reset.

We will see how that goes over the next few days. 

[Speaky]

I can not get my X5 128AI to update even after a factory reset. I am stuck at V20220624 IPTV Version 5.0.727. Last check Tue, 25 Oct 2022 12:39. I was unaware that there were multiple updates issued, was wondering why not all this time. ? Is what do I do now. Thanks for any help solving the update problem.
