v20211213 yes same beta firmware

[squirtNcider]

So has anyone tried this? DU has this on a few and said it works well. Was just curious of other opinions before I make the jump as I know once you do it, there is no going back.

[dukeathome]

I updated about six weeks ago no issues

[squirtNcider]

Ok, so I made the jump and seems pretty good. I noticed there is a way to change 'stream'. It is set to TS but there is also M3U8/HLS and RTMP. I tried changing it and they all seemed to work the same. Is there any difference between them?

[nobodyspecial]

It's necessary on some servers

[squirtNcider]

Something I found is that when Im trying to use the guide inside of my Fav's section, it always shows the guide for 'all' channels instead of just the channels within the Fav's section. Anyone else?

nope
mine shows favs top left

[squirtNcider]

Ok, have a new wierd issue.....
Putting on live tv, works fine but when I change the channel, it keeps playing the sound from the previous channel as well as the new channel selected. So I get sound on both channels and one picture. Anyone else getting this? Could it possibly the server or buzz tv 5?

[nobodyspecial]

It's a bug that has been fixed For now a menu refresh should fix it if I recall correctly.

I found it better to hold down back button and exit

[squirtNcider]

I did a full reset and it seems to have rectified it for now. If it does it again, Ill try the above suggestions.

it's actually not fixed

[nobodyspecial]

it's actually not fixed

Its been a while since it happened so I thought it was

[dishuser]

Its been a while since it happened so I thought it was

last night using default it happened twice
the second time was very strange
changed channel and got dual audio
changed to yet another channel and it was muted but still had audio from the previous 2 channels

[dishuser]

it's happened 4 times today
seems worse than 495-7 versions

[nobodyspecial]

you mean 695-697?

[dishuser]

ya...lol :innocent:

[squirtNcider]

Couple things I noticed last night.....On my XR4000, I can't get a usb stick to show up to play a downloaded movie. I took it out and plugged it into my XRS4500 and worked no probs. Then, on my XRS4500, my Bose QC35 acts up when connected to bluetooth. Keeps cutting out every couple seconds. Tried unpairing and repairing but still the same. When I tried another set of wireless earbuds, they worked perfectly.

[nobodyspecial]

Re dual streams
C and p
Its a bug in VLC we just seen

We will update to a newer version to see if it's fixed. Will do this tomorrow

[nobodyspecial]

It should be fixed in beta 701

[squirtNcider]

Is 701 beta a newer version? I get the dual audio multiple times daily on my XR 4000 but hardly never happens on my XRS 4500. I also noticed that the new X5 comes with Buzz 5. Have they fixed the issues with Buzz 5 or is it an issue with the 4000 series?

[nobodyspecial]

Yes 701 is newer. Currently no audio issues on 4900 or 4500 with my current beta version
None on x5

[squirtNcider]

So how do I get the newer 701 version? When I try to update, it say 'no updates available'. Do I have to hit certain buttons like when I first upgraded to Buzz 5 to get the updated version?

after checking and while still in update screen enter 2015
if no update email buzz your mac addy

[nobodyspecial]

send them your current version too

[squirtNcider]

It said no update available but here is a screenshot to make sure I don't already have it.....

I can't seem to upload the screenshot. Is 2.95 Mb too big? And it is a jpg file.

Current Firmware Version V20220105
Current IPTV Version 5.0.653

[squirtNcider]

Sent an email to the buzz team, got the file today. Seems the dual audio is corrected and the channel change looks a bit quicker also.
Thanks for the help getting the new file!

[squirtNcider]

So, going forward, how will I know when there is an update for Buzz 5 available?

for now it will let you know as it's updating
in future probably like before...you'll get a popup

[squirtNcider]

No, I mean I never received any pop ups or anything about any updates on my XR4000 or XRS4500. Even after trying 2015 after trying to update. If I didn't notice you and nobodyspecial mentioning the iptv versions, I still wouldn't have known about it today.

[squirtNcider]

Ahh, ok, gotcha. Thanks again.
