The “catch up” stopped working immediately after all these recent server upgrades, and it was running fine under
Buzz v5.0 prior.
I’ll try it installed this APK file that a link was recently pasted a few days back onto this XRS4500 and let you know if that makes any difference.
That sounds like the cause why “catch up” is disabled now on my box.
I thought this was something that was managed exclusively on the server end.
when you change stream format you have to exit app for it to workQuote:

Yes I rebooted the XRS4500 after switching Stream Formats and even options for video players.
And the built in “catch up” feature under BuzzTV 5.0 still does not work. It makes no difference.
Also, I just installed that 3rd party proprietary WickedTV app 3.1.5.1v2 APK that is NOT the “catch up” feature I’m inquiring about. That’s a nice utility for a smart phone maybe, but BuzzTV 5.0 is vastly superior, better picture and color quality and dramatically faster at scrolling. I did some serious testing to compare the two and its no contest IMHO.
However, this private WickedTV APK does have 288 listed live channels and they work under the “catch-up” feature, but this is NOT what I’ve been inquiring about. It’s very slow on my very fast XRS 4500 btw and scrolls slowly too and color and resolution seems lower than the live broadcast I saw an hour earlier on TCM for example.
Under Android 11, I suspect this private WickedTV APK v3.1.5.1v2 will work better but the XRS4500 is probably too slow to run it natively since this box will never run Android 11.
So why is native BuzzTV “catch up” not working anymore with either BuzzTV 4.0 or 5.0 software?
It all stopped working exactly 3 weeks ago so I doubts it’s the buzz 5.0 software or the xrs4500 box, and the APK might be better suited for boxes running Android 11 probably
Also,
I doubt this but is there an iPhone version of this WickedTV APP that runs with iOS v16.3?
Provably not, but there might be an emulator that might do the trick if you only have an IPhone and I was never able to get it to work before under Google Chrome or IE.
So I think this APK is Galaxy or bust if you want smartphone viewing
The WickedTV app is justa customized version of OPTV smarters.Quote:

It is a combination of issues.Quote:

So there is 2 possibilities here:
1> Buzz can try to identify what it is in the stream that is causing the media player to "choke", and update their media player to support this format. nobodyspecial already said he will let buzz know. They are usually pretty good at finding fixes or workarounds. It's just one more "exceptional case". Or other possibility is that buzz can add an option to select a custom media player for catchup (different than that used fro LiveTV - similar to what they have done for VOD/TV Series). That way, in cases like this, you could just load another media player (mx player, newer version of VLC, Titan player, etc..) and find whatever works for you.
OR
2> wicked can look into possibly changing the encoding on the catchup streams, to be something that buzz boxes would not choke on.
Keep in mind that on of the 2 internal video players on BuzzTV 5 is VLC. Not sure if it is the Primary or secondary however.
catchup is working for me on xrs 4000 version 5.0.796 01/16/2023 build v20220919.20220919 test-keys
i hit rewind and it works takes a min to start but starts i select a show from guide back few hours starts fine
the recorded files are in .ts format
Thanks.. I don't have a 4000, but I tried on an xrs4500, xrs4900 and E2, all running the same buzz 5.0.796 and all give me a "media format is not supported" error. Same with X5 (x5 running 5.0.775). Also tried on my E1 (running 4.0.489).Quote:

Before the server change it worked on all boxes. Like you said, it used to take a minute to start (and sometimes you could not skip fwd or back during playback on some streams), but it worked for the most part.
Guess we'll see what Buzz says. Thnx

No issues with EPG on my 4900 (xc api connection). At least all the channels in my favorites category (mix of Canadian and US channels) are pretty much fully populated.
One thing I noticed (unrelated to EPG), is that the CA: COOKING CHANNEL, is actually streaming US: COOKING CHANNEL :) But considering the freezing issue with the CA: COOKING CHANNEL in recent days, I assume this is temporary till the source is fixed (or reason identified).
Thanks sat for switching the CA: COOKING CHANNEL stream back to the Canadian one. However I don't know if you tried watching it for a few seconds. It pretty much lasts for about 30 seconds max before it freezes :( And as expected, if you stay on the channel as it freezes and eventually stutters, the number of "active" connections climbs :)
Late last night, CA: Discovery Science was doing the same, but this morning seems to be fine.
check cooking now and let me know im at work so cant keep eye on it to much but should be ok now
Been watching for 30 minutes now and glitch free. Super thank you.Quote:

Thanks again
