October 12, 20233 yr Why am I getting freezing in Buzz video player primary and on backup no freezing ??
October 12, 20233 yr For TV or VOD/Movies ? Different providers use different encoding for some of their movies. And there is no universal player that can play everything. Would be nice, but it doesn;t. In my case, with my services, I have no freezing regardless of which player. But the backup player does seem to take a few seconds longer to initialize and get started, but once it starts, it is smooth. So no big deal. If it is for VOD, you can also set your player to external and select any other player you prefer to use (MX Player, VLC Player, HB player, etc..). VLC player is already installed, but others you obviously need to install. This is WHY you have options. If backup works better for you, then stick with backup.
October 12, 20233 yr Author Thank you Emporium, It's on TV and I got another provider and still doing it there too.
October 13, 20233 yr Are you wired or wireless ? Have you tried rebooting your router ? Is box from a clean boot, or after multiple suspends ? Try unplugging the power, and let it boot up properly (boot animation logo and all) to ensure it is a fresh clean boot. I have not checked on the X5, but many of my older boxes (buzz or other), if I keep suspending them, eventually they network starts to act up. So I have since stopped suspending them and just always do a shutdown. OK, adds an extra minute to the boot time, but at least I don't need to guess what is causing any glitches.
October 19, 20232 yr Author Hi Emporium, Thank you for the info I just received an updated right now. I have changed to shutdown and will see what will happen with the new update.

October 19, 20232 yr Author Thanks dishuser, I bought the BuzzTV X5 128 for rewind, record forward. My other box didn't do that.

My other box didn't do that. my x5 does it also depends on your service I don't rely on timeshift since it only goes back as far as when you started watching like an OEM stb like my bell 9242 if you have a service with catchup you'll get a better experience some say it's wicked 😉
