Just to clear this up, BuzzTV G-Series is a certified Google TV device, so the platform and firmware update process is different from our regular Android boxes. There are multiple parties involved in this ecosystem, including the platform manufacturer and Google’s certification and approval process. Because of that, we cannot freely modify platform firmware the same way we can on our AOSP models. Platform-level changes must go through the proper approval, testing, and certification path. So this is not as simple as saying it is only “SEI firmware” or only “Google firmware.” That oversimplifies how a certified Google TV device works. From the customer side, the important point is simple: system updates follow the certified platform update path, while the BuzzTV 6 app is updated separately through the Google Play Store. From our side, we test, collect feedback, escalate issues through the proper channels, and work to get improvements delivered properly.

What you are describing is an oversimplification of how a certified Google TV device works. This is not a typical AOSP box where one party can freely control and modify the firmware and update path.

Buzz 6 App Update for P6 and Classic AI V362 Official Update Aug 17th, 2026 YOU CANNOT REVERT BACK TO OLD VERSION AFTER TAKING UPDATE. Changes: Classic AI and P6 Update New Features D-Pad Navigation: Integrated D-Pad seeking functionality for Catchup and LiveTV Info Bar. Bug Fixes Audio Stability: Fixed missing audio issues reported on specific Live TV channels. UI/UX Improvements: Grid Guide Categories now update correctly during scrolling. Fixed Subtitles automatically enabled in Live TV. Corrected the display of Expiration Dates for Mac-based servers. Please leave feedback below

Just wanted to update this post, I received the new Classic AI and using the backup from my Classic it transferred all my settings and favourites to the new box.

Schedule recordings from the mobile app on the box at home. Remote control app as well to control the box. We're looking into watching recordings outside the home as well.

They do silent updates in the background And they are by region. Users never see the updates. And you can just program the remote buttons for what you want to do in settings.

Fixed and sent on V362 today

Blue is ON Green is internet

Yes was turned on Will block any non g-series that downloaded it as well

It is fixed and no longer shows it available for my TV.

Well, this triggered my curiosity. I dusted off my old MiiBox 3 device which is running AndroidTV 9. And low and behold I can see buzzyv6 it also in the playstore (red logo however, which is strange, I expected the typical Green one). I decide to go ahead and install it, even thought in the description is states it will only work on G-Series boxes. Well, it installed. Figured it would not launch or give some warning, but I launched it and it launched perfectly, and I did play one of the 4K channels on the preinstalled demo server and it worked fine. I don't think this was the intention of Buzz. I am pretty sure this was ONLY supposed to get filtered and show up for G-Series boxes. So far the only downside I saw was that the logo after install, seems to be cropped (see attached images below). But it launches and seems to work fine. Obviously google is not filtering it ONLY on G-Series boxes. @allaboutbuzz should now be aware of this, so if there is any action needed to be taken, they will do it. Not sure if Google permits it (I know their T&C are pretty restrictive), but maybe Buzz would also need to add some sort of check in the app to ensure it is running on a G-Series box. Or at least on a BuzzTV branded box.

Solid as a rock with zero reboot issues

I can't comment on Classic AI since I have not tried TS on it yet. Not a feature I typically care for anyhow. However I do NOT have any rebooting issues with my unit, and there are 2 or 3 days a week that I have it turned on streaming in the background (when I work from home), for at least 10hrs a day. Using primarily 3 servers on it, 2 XC subs, and 1 is a custom M3U which I maintain with some public streams. However I just enabled TS and tested it on my X5 SS, using BuzzTV 5 and it seems to work as expected. Your B5 should work similarly, except that will be quite a bit slower in responding as it is the super basic/entry level device. Being a slower box, and only having USB2 ports (no USB3) it can be challenging. If the bitrate is too high, the USB2 port may not be fast enough to keep up if using USB storage. First of all, it only works if you have "Primary" player selected for LiveTV in Menu->Settings->Configuration. If using "backup" it is not enabled. I also found that it works better if you force the Stream type to "TS" instead of Automatic. If you are using USB for anything (Downloading, recording or TS) then you better be using a very high quality USB device. And don't forget to enable the "FORCE USB TS and set set the TS cache storage location). Also ensure to format the unit as portable storage, or if you have access to a PC, format it using exFAT on your PC, before inserting into your BOX. Also, I don't know what kind of sub you are using, but all my servers are XC type subs. I do not have any MAC based subs, and don't care to use any services that are only MAC based any more. Other that that, it works fine. Attached is a quick snapshot of it in work a few minutes ago. PS: When you also buy the latest device of ANY brand (not only buzz), you are being naive if you believe you will not be faced with a few bugs as it goes into use with a larger number of users. Even when you buy a flagship phone for thousands of dollars, it is often riddled with bugs and already piles of recorded bugs before it hits the shelves. There is always the early adopter advantages/disadvantages issues you need to deal with. If you are not ready to deal with that, then you should always stick with a long time proven older device. There is nothing stopping you from installing any other software on your box that works for you, with all the features you want.

Yes we will do this soon for SS and P6

I figured it out, I changed the server name before I loaded the backup.

Fixed on V309 sent as Beta today for P6 It should be fixed Will wait for testers to confirm if it is or not

Fixed Try it now

Update is Live now on the Playstore for GTV V1.0.302 Fixes 4K + Other bug fixes

Buzz is aware of the issue and will fix it soon

XC defaults to using XML EPG Mac uses a different method Could be that the EPG is up on the XML but down on Server method via MAC MAC only has one method for EPG, XC in Configuration can use XML or Server

If you mean cast the Live TV from the Buzz App to another device This isn't possible

Do you have tunneled playback or RTS turned on in the configuration menu? And Backup Player is libvlc, so it going back to the home screen means the player is crashing on that stream. And the stream format feature, is just there to show what the server offers Its default to Auto Most servers only offer TS or HLS Auto plays HLS first and if that doesn't work it uses TS We can't add more, as every provider offers it themselves, and it doesn't work the way you think it does Some servers offer RTMP, but its rare.

Will look into it and get it fixed in our next update Thanks for reporting

We will make one of the colored buttons open EPG in an update soon

Next app update will fix pressing back button 3x to close the app

I should have know to do that brfore making this post. That been said a big thank you for the reply and it fix the issue. Have a great weekend

These steps resolved the issue Go into Android Settings Go to Device Preferences Go to Display and Sound Go to Advanced sound settings Go to Select Formats I think you have it set to none:never use surround sound Switch it to None And it should fix Primar player with the unknown stream error issue We figured this out via PM

Sometimes the Device ID changes for MAC subscriptions when you reset Just contact your server provider and ask them to reset the MAC on their side. Should start working afterwards

Was fixed on E5s and X5s this week via FW update Will be rolled out to the rest of our Android 11 models next week, including the Classic and Classic Anniv
