update:
every time I try to access one particular movie, I can see the ip address of that movie lower on screen when trying the external VLC PLayer which is 31.220.40:132:80 for a second then goes to error message can not play.
then right after that in the router log a DOS attack shows up from 31.220.41.116:80
TS & M3U8 settings lost on the update

Crazed 9.6 / I am in the US so Canada ISPs may have different security levels. I did verify in 2 states here the 4500 box had same issue using different ISP providers, I have not yet with the new 4900 box. I will next week try it in another state using a different ISP provider. I did try using VPN on this 4900 and VOD would not play either and my router log showed a stream of DOS Attacks immediately after pressing Play.
All this and keep in mind I have 3 other DreamLink T3s using same router, different servers, no VOD issues.
correction on the quoted post above.
The User Installed VLC Player does open and play the VODs. It does take up to a minute to see them open thou.
I found the BSPlayer v3.13 Build 234 and is found in the AppStore, also opens and plays the VODs as an External Player.
And same as the ProgTV app opens and plays the VODs as well, when simply using as an External Player.
That MX Pro Player still does not open or play the VODs thou.
Don't know what to say about your issues tvlarry, seems strange you are getting same issue with multiple devices (buzz devices) and at multiple locations with multiple ISPs and seems That DOS attack message is something only you are seeing, no one else is seeing this. The BuzzTV devices (all of them) are connecting to VODs fine, there is a lag in connection time with each selection, but other then that it's fine.
It is not an issue with the devices firmware, seeing the issue on two different devices tells us that and with how no one else seeing the issue, nor with old or new or beta firmware included and so I can not possibly see how this is related to buzz firmware or iptv firmware or even the papiao service.
