BuzzTV xpl2000

I was going to purchase one of the new Minix boxes but the came across this box from a friend.

I'm a heavy user of Plex Media Server which I run on my NAS. Will this box play all my video files with various containers and codecs with no issues?

Also, I would want to connect to my VPN when using this service. I use Nordvpn. Any issues there?

Thanks

I ended up biting the bullet and picked one up this evening. Everything going smoothly thus far with only two issues. I cannot for the life of me get into the VPN settings under NETWORK. It keeps asking me for a PIN # and I don't ever recall setting one.

Secondly, although I go and lock all the adult channels using the red button, the locks are not persistent. Once I change screens a few times, the locks are gone, what am I missing?

Thanks

The default password of 0000 worked to lock/unlock channels but not for setting the VPN up in the network settings - keeps asking me for a pin# and I have no idea what the pin # is or should be. Also, even when locking/unlocking channels - it's not working quite right. I am able to go ahead and lock some channels but as soon as I switch back and forth between a few screens, the locks vanish and no channels are locked any more.

If I do a system reset to factory, will I lose anything on this box besides the apps I installed?

Unless it is the Adult channels, any channel that you locked yourself and then unlocked to watch it stays unlocked until you exit the app and re-open it.
The Adult channels will always re-lock though once you watch another channel from a different category.

The buzz guys have been looking at allowing an ON/OFF switch for the app to bootup on startup. Since not everyone wants it to auto boot
(Also cause a power outage can cause box to auto boot and waste bandwidth without the user knowing, unless they have the auto shut off feature turned on)

The issue is when user powers off the box, it is designed to go into standby, coming out of standby is not the same as a first time boot, first time boot when turning the box back on is not how the PCB board of this model was designed, it was designed to go into standby and come out of standby.
However you can do a full power off by holding down the power button on the remote and selecting POWER OFF.

So they are researching android docs to find a work around for this standby/auto boot app feature.

I was able to get the channels to remain locked but unfortunately, the little icon that shows the channels are locked vanishes... So looking at the directory listing you think you can still access it until you try and then it asks for the pin. Wish it would clearly mark the channels that are locked.

Will have to try this here and see

You took firmware update and app update when you set it up?

When I launched Live TV the first time, it indicated there was an update and installed it. I believe I got the same update message the first time I turned on the box and connected to ethernet - assume that was the firmware update on the initial start up? I presume we check for firmware updates in the UPDATE section of settings?

when you first go into live-Tv ....I believe the update is the buzztv app (which is used for live-tv) not a firmware update.......firmware update comes before you go into the live-tv .........happens with a new box just connected..

You are correct
This is exactly how it's done.

You can also press the 3 lined menu button on the remote while using livetv
The slide out menu will appear with Live Tv, Vod etc
At the bottom is version #
Latest one is 1.5 (55)

Latest firmware version is 0304, which can be found in about device within Android settings

This would be a good move on their part because some of us are so used to powering on our boxes, whether from standby or boot, and going directly to main tv screen.
