Cant change Mac Server ID

[tonyboy1223]

Hi Everybody !

I have used the Buzztv 3000 in the past, and an option was available to change the MAC adress of the box to the blue button, however no option is available for the XRS4500.
Will this option become available in a future update on XRS4500 ?

Thanks.

I know, but my question is more to know if there is any possibility of making it available in the next version?

 From discussions with buzz my original answer stands

[tonyboy1223]

There is no other team that allows the app MAC to be changed, nor the device MAC to be changed.

Buzz was the only one, at one time.

Good reasons why the MAC can not be changed by the user.

The MAC is a 'unique'  idendity for the device itself, or for the iptv application.  If one person alone changed that MAC ID a say changed it o a regular basis then at one point (at least) there will be a conflict with the actual owner of the MAC (which someone else randomly generated). That then leads to difficulty for the original owner of that MAC ID when using certain  applications.

There may be other reasons why the team discontinued that option, but that is one, and kinda an important one when looking at it from the original rightful owner's point of view .

 

Like that goalie Patrick somebody, from Montreal Canadians once said, "Its not fair"

Hello; I do have a BuzzTv XRS 4500 with the last update dating to february 2024 and i do have the option of changing the MAC address on the bottom page of server settings with the blue squre button and i can even change the device ID 1 & 2 which are an extremely long number but still i tried to change only the MAC address for one subscription but it didn't work and i guess i had to change the 2 device ID to really see if it works but i'll have to copy and paste those 2 large numbers and with an android box i'm not too familiar on how to do this ...Hope this helps!
