m3u list on Buzz 3000 ?
- Thread starter montell
- Start date
Still can't get it to work though. I have the m3u options now but when I select " open file" I am able to select my m3u file and the Buzz puts the file path in the server URL field. Then I get the message "incorrect server URL". I shouldn't have to enter a server URL because it's all in the m3u file. I've selected the streaming line option which has to be selected on one of the servers 1 through 10 selections by the way in order for it to even show up as an option on the m3u selection, and I still get the incorrect server URL message. I select use credentials and enter my user name and password (which again I shouldn't have to do because it's in the m3u file), but still get incorrect server URL. I erase the m3u file path from the server URL field and enter the server address; it now at least tries to connect but still doesn't and even if it did there is no m3u file entered to pull channel data from. Buzz needs to do a better job with this app.
select hardcopy of m3u file won\t work. The function is always looking for a http path and that path to your file on storage just does not jive.
Enter the m3u playlist http path and it will work.
The playlist url path is not same as server path.
The path to the Playlist is the http address that shows up when requesting a m3u file at the website
It ends with .ts

Well that kind of defeats the purpose of having a m3u playlist. If I enter the URL to the address of the playlist then the entire playlist loads which is really no different from using the the server options. The purpose of BuzzTv users using a playlist is so we can edit the list and customize our channel options. If we can't use a custom playlist we might as well just use server 1 through 10. Again, Buzz needs to do a better job with this app.
Just Install Perfect Player, and stop banging your head!
With PP you can have a full EPG (even an EPG from 2 sources), multiple playlists, separate VOD playlist function, access your local media etc.
*PP is also a smaller, less resource heavy, application, which gives you faster user performance.
*This is Just IMO, from experience.

I have Perfect Player and other apps for playlists, but I was hoping that using the BuzzTV app with a playlist I could personalize my playlist and still have the recording/timer record features we have with the BuzzTV app using the server settings. as far as I know there is no third party app that can record or set timers/reminders.
I might try that. I already tried serving my playlist from my Google drive account but that was a no go.
When you get that set up in dropbox, just change the dl=0 to dl=1.... for example
httpx://www.dropbox.com/s/xxxxxxxxxxxxi/rocket_tv.m3u?dl=1
I tried everything to get the epg, checked that box, unchecked the other one, changed the mac, etc. As I said, I can log in this way but all I get is the epg "loading". I know the provider's epg works as it works on another box.
I am not sure why the Buzz app isn't like MTOL which allows you to enter a url for the epg???
This is now working correctly as intended on the XR4000 models and the xpl3000 models. Not sure when it was fixed but is working correctly now.
If still not working correctly for anyone using the XR4000, then you may need to wait for the next Official Update Release.
I got an update to the BuzzTV 2 app last night. I'll give it another try in a day or two and see how it works.
It is working
When you first posted about this awhile ago and I had also noticed it about that same time, is when the team was on it and got it fixed for us.
Your 'reporting' helped in that... cool beans
I guess I need to wait for the official update. I tried again, and the playlist option still doesn't work; at least not the way I feel it should. If I serve it from a cloud site with a URL I suppose it'll work, but that is more trouble than it's worth. If I try to load the M3U from a memory stick I still get the message it's an invalid URL. I got an update a little while back but I guess my update didn't include the playlist update. I'll just have to stick with the MAC method for now.
I just use user/pass with streaming line box checked off and I get full epg
not sure why people are so hung up on using m3u url?
what boxes are you checking off?
cause I got it to work for dara and they're probably using same provider as you
