I have seen cases where a server gets a little overloaded and the number of connections it reports to the box are not correct. When channel surfing, as it opens another stream when you change channel, the previous stream take a long time to be detected by the panel as idle/disconnected and it detects it as a simultaneous stream.Quote:

I have tested this with one panel and I would monitor the number of connections and as soon as the panel would release the "idle" connection, or I would manually kill it, then changing channel worked fine.
Unfortunately not much you can do on the user end, other than possibly waiting some time (could take up to a minute) for the idle connections to completely drop. I find (at least with the server I tested), that the issue was worse when the stream type was using HLS/M3U8. Switch stream type to TS seemed to help in dropping the connections quicker and the issue was less noticeable.
Used to happen to me can't recall what I did to fix it. Have to look back through a couple threads.
Also noticed you opened a thread about his same issue in 2023 and was given a solution that worked.Quote:

That makes total sense. I haven't responded sooner because sometimes it would record and sometimes not??Quote:

I'll chime back in and give a further update.
Thank you so much for your help.

Not sure what I did that time either??Quote:

I use hls and turned one button record off over a year ago on my 4900 and never a problemQuote:

I'll toast you all, when Dryuary is over.

NFG again.
Tried HLS and TS and Auto and none work???
I'm stumped.
did you turn one button record off and leave it off?
I just did that but you have to create a new schedule...not tough but no "one button recoring"Quote:

Now it's working after waiting for a few minutes. I think Emporium has it.
"waiting some time (could take up to a minute) for the idle connections to completely drop."
.... still testing......
I don't wait but just remembered I have 6 connections so that must be it...lolQuote:

I screwed up when I re load a few months ago and had to reset everything and it worked for quite a while.Quote:

Misery likes company so thanxs for letting me know I'm not alone. Sorry for you though!
I might try a full reset again and see how long it lasts?
Coaster
I don't normally do much recording so it's okay for me. When you brought it up again is what prompted me to try it so as to confirm. I am positive I had to reset. You can backup your stuff in the Buzz app and restore after reset. That way you don't have to enter all that stuff again. Good kuckQuote:

What is the recommended Micro SD card?
I think max is 256GB
What about U2 U1/ Class10 stuff?
Thanxs
you can use an 8gb cardQuote:

Lots of numbers on those cards and the BUZZ is an older box so don't need to over buy.
Thanxs
get a usb stick not an sd cardQuote:
