December 28, 2025Dec 28 Overnight TV won't play previously viewable programs, Landman, Killing Kind............ seems to be programs from Paramount??? other programs running as normal....... Tried to reset, any updates, cleared memory, rebooted..... nothing seems to work........ screen just goes black Any suggestions......
December 28, 2025Dec 28 Going to need more info. Is this using the BuzzTV LiveTV app, VOD, recorded/downloaded media ? Some other 3rd party app. We don't even know what Buzz box you are using.
December 28, 2025Dec 28 the the Menu->Settings->configuration on the top you can select what player you want to use for LiveTV (Primary is typically best for that), and for VOD/TV Series (personal experience, backup or external is best for that). For external, I typically use something like MX Player, or HB Player. If external player can't play your files, then the problem is probably with your service. They may have changed something. Also, if they are VOD which you had bookmarked, try to re-search for them. Sometimes, when a server rearranges their files, the bookmarks break and point to wrong locations. Re-searching for them and trying to play them, will often yield the correct links. That is because the SERVER has either moved their files to a new server or just redone the storage organization.
December 28, 2025Dec 28 Author thanks for the suggestions, pretty much tried all of that......... both primary and backup and re searched both shows.......... seems strange both shows were from Paramount whereas other shows from Netflix seem to play ok......... I'll keep trying....
December 28, 2025Dec 28 Sounds like server issue i occassionally encounter this if other vods work it is server issue if it is not playing at all try disconnevting and reconnecting to server
December 29, 2025Dec 29 Author tried that now, didn't seem to do anything in fact it seems like more and more shows are not watchable, just getting a black screen............. beginning to think that it must have something to do with the box itself.......... thanks for the suggestions.......
December 29, 2025Dec 29 Have you tried on another device, or downloaded another app (like Smarters) to confirm that the server actually works and not having issues ?
