Buzz updates and OK2

[Maestro701]

Hey guys,

I've noticed that after the last two updates for the buzz I cannot use my ok2 sub without relentless freezing. I've even tried two other services and the same thing.

I was made aware of some other users of the buzz of this same thing and I couldn't understand why because at the time I didn't have that issue. And they were saying when they tried the service on the mag device it was connecting flawless and no freezing.

Is it possible that whatever tweaks are being done to the buzz app is affecting some iptv services or is it that OK2 is experiencing heavy freezing for the past week and a half?

Thanks

[dishuser]

been getting the same
will try my global and zoomtak tomorrow
but if it were freezing on my global I'm sure I would heard about it:liang:

[Maestro701]

I'm swaying towards the issue being the app itself, but more like something in the update that messed with the unit as a while.

I tried using STB that is installed on the buzz and that too is freezing heavily. Tried three services so that rules out a particular service having issues

[dishuser]

a few strange events have happened lately
freezing
get kicked out of kodi and it goes to live tv
and when in settings and exit to live tv keyboard shows up

[Maestro701]

That's very erratic but always, they will take note and release a fix very soon because those last two updates have unsettled the buzz

[Mr Hanky]

I dont think they take note , because they keep messing everything up. Like I mentioned before turn off the updates ,although the wifi is better like 3 updates ago lol.

[Newfygarge]

for the past week I'm getting alot of freezing on alot of channels on an android box using stb emu. So not only on the buzz & ok2.

[leafs99]

I am picking up the buzz today. Should I stop the updates and just use it like out of the box or hold off on the purchase?

[Maestro701]

Hey bud, how did you stop the updates? I'm thinking of a way to revert back to the original version of the buzz other than doing a factory reset

[dishuser]

no freezing in over 2 hours with zoomtak/stbemu pro

[Maestro701]

no freezing in over 2 hours with zoomtak/stbemu pro

It must be a buzz app issue then because right now 2 hours is a long time without freeze. I'm confident the buzz team will sort this.

[dukeathome]

mine is doing weird stuff like when I turn it on I have to go into the menu and refresh the channels,otherwise its just a blank blue screen,last night I had no epg at all,the channels showed but no epg.I uninstalled ok2apk and reinstalled and thought all was good,turned it on this morning and blue screen only,had to repopulate to get the channels to show,the epg does work now.

why are you using the apk on a buzz?

[dishuser]

no freezing in over 2 hours with zoomtak/stbemu pro
over 6 hours and not a hiccup

[dukeathome]

I thought it was the only way,the seller questioned me if I was installing the apk,have I done it wrong?

[dishuser]

it doesn't need an app

[dukeathome]

Could you point me in the right direction to set up? please

[dishuser]

Could you point me in the right direction to set up? please
press live tv button/menu/settings to set server up
or in home screen settings/server

[Maestro701]

over 6 hours and not a hiccup

Buzzzzzzzzzz

[dukeathome]

press live tv button/menu/settings to set server up
or in home screen settings/server

so I will need the server url,Im guessing.

[dishuser]

that's correct

[dishuser]

Buzzzzzzzzzzswitched back
so far so good...fingers crossed

What would you know about the Buzz team? I have not sèen you post about any issues

[leafs99]

So it looks like it is the buzz box freezing with the feedback on the forum. I will hold off on purchasing the box until an update comes through.

It's just an update to solve it and they do come through for us, just that this particular update fixed a number issues but it probably triggered a reaction elsewhere. The buzz is worth purchasing bro, by the time you get it an update will be out for it.

Go buzz!!!!

[dukeathome]

that's correct


Thanks DU,Ill have to get it from the reseller

[dishuser]

switched back
so far so good...fingers crossed2 hours and flawless :okay:

[dishuser]

Thanks DU,Ill have to get it from the reseller

you have only been assigned a user name and password Your seller would have to change it so your mac addy is on his panel

[nobodyspecial]

haven't looked since ok2 runs fine on my 2 other boxes
it used to run perfect on my buzz until about a week ago
I thought it was the service until Angel told me no freezing on global box except for chch when news is on
it ran pretty good this afternoon though

[herk]

i have just been told that buzz is aware of the issue and checking into it

[nobodyspecial]

i have just been told that buzz is aware of the issue and checking into it

I can confirm that

[Maestro701]

No it isn't i had tried two other services before my unit got bricked

[herk]

No it isn't i had tried two other services before my unit got bricked

[dishuser]

No it isn't i had tried two other services before my unit got bricked

[nobodyspecial]

your unit is under warranty

[johnnylarue]

I never got the cursor update and my unit is running tip top. No complaints.

[Maestro701]

All wireless bro

[Maestro701]

:) my response was to yours about wanting to know if the issues are specific to only one service. That's why I said no, that I tried (my buzz) on two other services before I got bricked and the result was the same.

I also mentioned that in the OP

I have a friend who is currently using a mag device and it's been good. The buzz is definitely better, just need to get through this bad cough that it has.

[nutzu]

I have both xpl3000 and xpl2000 and both on the 5ghz wi-fi connection have the same freezing problem on ok2 server :( I hope they will come with an update soon

[Maestro701]

Nope because it's not even going through the factory reset process

Using ok2 apk from the main menu the second last button loads the guide.

Someone didn't like the truth and removed my post...lol Let see if they can remove it from our site.

Thanks,yes I tried that and it wouldn't load,reboot didn't help,the only way I could get the guide working again was to uninstall the apk and reload.So far its still working.

Not true,.the one directed at me was deleted by staff

[Bicksy]

On my 2.4 I don't get the freeze or black ch.
My 5ghz on the other hand is freezing ch and blackouts.

Now on Kodi using 5ghz I don't get freeze.

That's what I found yesterday.

[Maestro701]

Not true,.the one directed at me was deleted by staff

I'm not aware of the post you guys are referring to, the only post I saw was #6 in this thread. So that's why I said it wasn't deleted.

Okay I guess there is a battle going on, will see what happens in the VD room where i can contribute.

Both Buzz and ok2 are monitoring the situation When freezing occurs please post .Also whether it's all channelsor some
thanks

From my recollection it was all the channels.

I also found that when it freezes, you can hit the ok button on the remote and it tunes back in after about 2 seconds. In the flip side, if you leave the screen up with the EPG via the ok button it still freezes

[dishuser]

turned the buzz back on and about 45 minutes later it froze for about 30 seconds on 147
put on 146 and it froze 2 minutes later
changed to 164 and a minute later it froze

[squirtNcider]

I was just watching A&E for about half hour, no probs. Then switched to History and was good there also.....I am hardwired though.

[Mr Hanky]

[bobby]

just curious, didn't read any posts about someone trying, has anyone tried changing the video player? has helped sometimes but not always...

go to...menu/player-(default/secondary/internal) options

[dishuser]

froze almost right away

[dishuser]

watched it for 90 minutes with no issues
went back to other channels and they freeze

[Tremble]

I have been experiencing freezing on the xpl3000 as well.It usually begins after the box has been on between 1 to 2hrs.
In my case it appears only to be an issue when receiving an http source, as I have no problem with another source that has it’s own host apk.No freezing when on Kodi or Mobdro either. I tried changing the internal players,changed my high speed HDMI cable and cat5, there was no improvement.

[Mr Hanky]

turned the buzz back on and about 45 minutes later it froze for about 30 seconds on 147
put on 146 and it froze 2 minutes later
changed to 164 and a minute later it frozeTried each of those channels for an hr each not a single glitch using fire stick. 146 hardly works on other servers perfect here. Note firestick is wifi only.

[nobodyspecial]

switched over to wifi this morning so far no issues

[nobodyspecial]

not a freeze yet on 2.4g
my friend switched over last night on 5g and he is having no issues either
This is weird

[ifonlyihad1]

I'm glad I started reading this thread, i just switched over to my wi-fi because the wired was freezing all morning.. With now being on wi-fi, steady as she goes...

[nobodyspecial]

most issues are with wifi not hard wired

[ifonlyihad1]

yeah, not sure what is going on, but its steady now, i will leave it on wifi for now.

[nobodyspecial]

just had a freeze ,channel change fixed it

[dishuser]

when I get home I'll switch back to buzz and see how it goes

[dishuser]

put it on 149 and it froze after about 40 minutes
was like that for over a minute

[dishuser]

froze again 6 minutes later

[dishuser]

it's been fine since :thumbsup:
I jinxed it :no:
just froze

[dishuser]

switched back to zoomtak after last post and that channel has been flawless

[dishuser]

watched maze runner without an issue
hopefully buzz figures it out
with that said ok2 gets :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[leafs99]

Has anybody tried a factory default and then update the box through non wifi setup, after update , setup the server and connect with wifi 5ghz and then 2 ghz.

2 boxes out there that I am aware of have no issues running wifi but they did a factory default first.

[nobodyspecial]

I know its a pia DU but if you have a chance it would be appreciated

[dishuser]

I know its a pia DU but if you have a chance it would be appreciatedI will pull out my totes from under stairs tomorrow and run the cable
it's probably under 200 rom 102 cards...lol
or under the rom 3 or 10 cards :innocent:

[dishuser]

didn't find the cable
found the cards and a bunch of ird's and stb's though...lol

[squirtNcider]

Ok, Im picking up a few more of these for friends tomorrow and my question is should I update the box or leave it as is?
Will just be using for 'live tv', not for apps at the moment. The one I have running which I updated seems to be running fine with the update but maybe I got lucky.......

[nobodyspecial]

I have updated 4 in the last two weeks hard wired ,none have issues
Always your call though

[squirtNcider]

Yeah, I guess if there is a prob, factory reset is always an option.......
Thanks

[jedi]

Yeah, I guess if there is a prob, factory reset is always an option.......
Thanks

If you do a factory reset won't it still have the latest updated software on it?

[squirtNcider]

I would assume it would be as if you just took it out of the box......May be wrong though.

[nobodyspecial]

If you do a factory reset won't it still have the latest updated software on it?

No it wont

[dishuser]

No it wont

does it remove any apps?

[nobodyspecial]

does it remove any apps?
Yes it does

[dishuser]

then I won't bother

[pugsycan]

OK been reading through this and mine has been almost freeze free and the freezing I did have i blamed on my crappy internet
I am running wireless right now but if I am correct I was running wired on the last update My switch screwed up so I went wireless

[dishuser]

so whoever took update with wifi have the problem
hopefully next update fixes that

[leafs99]

I just updated a some boxes today wired and there running wireless at the present moment. I have put a consisted ping on them and I get anywhere from 1-4 percent packet loss but video has stayed on. I will chalk this up to a crappy laptop or a crappy router.

latest test is packets sent 318 packets recieved 309 lost 9=2 percent packet loss
All the losses were at different points of the test. none in a row..

thanks

[Tremble]

The freezing got the better of me so I tried the reset slot under the box, it didn’t give me the choice to factory reset.
All I could do was stand by, shut down or reboot. I did find in the menu a section which is called storage/reset. Here I have the option of doing a factory data reset which erases everything. Should I proceed with the wipe will the necessary data needed to use the box be retained?I don’t mind if Kodi,Netflix or YouTube goes.I just want to have access to buzz tv and the internet browser.
