Has anyone been successful installing this app? -I'm getting the same error messages as shark and others.
I had buzztv running on mygica 585 before, which came preinstalled. After upgrading to android 5.1 lost the app and remote control abilities.
Now trying to get it back- unsuccessfully

Interesting to know that you did have it working Uranium, as when I asked this question on the Buzz site, the following is what I got as a response:Originally posted by uranium237 View PostHas anyone been successful installing this app? -I'm getting the same error messages as shark and others.

"Although BuzzTV and MyGica has the same factory we operate as 2 different companies. Our app is not available for download on any app store, therefore if your extracting it from a BuzzTV box and trying to use it on another non BuzzTV device it will crash. BuzzTV app is not designed for any other boxes."
Wondering if you were to factory reset the box (by holding in the concealed button on the bottom of the box followed by applying power till the Android robot appeared), would it not reinstall the BuzzTV app that was there originally and revert your 585 back to the 4.4 OS?
I found the upgrade to 5.1 to my 586 had some pluses but, it really slowed down the box and it would quite often just hang. I would then have to re-boot it to get back up & running, so I factory reset the box back to 4.4 and now its back to its snappy ways. All the apps I had deleted were reinstalled.

UPDATE: After two hours reading about the error and You Tubing, I was able to get it installed on Mygica 586 after modifying the app's manifest.

I take it you want to keep your box at 5.1 and not revert it back to OS 4.4?Originally posted by uranium237 View Post
I thought originally I had modified the file permanently but, I had to modify it a second time when I went to install it on another box. I'll see if I can find a way to permanently modify it.
To start you need an app called "APK Editor Pro" which isn't available in the Google store but, you can find it hereIt has to be the Pro version from what I've read.Code:https://apk-editor-pro.en.aptoide.com
Once you have the APK editor installed on your 585 watch this video and follow what he does with regards to modifying the app. This isn't the Buzz TV app that's being modified but, the method used worked for me.Let me know how you manage and if not, I'll see if I can find a way to modify the file permanently and upload it somewhere or send it to you through "We Transfer".Code:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjt5ObW_Yxw&t=154s

with the given directions I was able to install it, thx.
now when running the app I have pop up msg saying "a new update is available". after clicking on it, the app reboots and says again the same thing.
BTW, I'm trying to run it on android 4.4Comment

I too saw the message to upgrade but, I haven't tried to yet.Originally posted by uranium237 View Post
When you reset the box to 4.4 the app didn't reappear, as they usually do so I've found?
In any event I'm glad you were able to get it installed and working.
Cheers

You might not be able to update the app as it is not designed to be working on anything other than a Buzz TV according to Buzz themselves.Originally posted by wizz View Post
I thinking if someone was able to extract a current release from a Buzz TV then we could modify that one so we'd have the latest version without having the constant pop-up. If not we have to live with what we have and be thankful it works at all.
UPDATE: I was able to extract the current BUZZ TV apk from my BUZZ TV 3000 using "APK Extractor Premium" but I ran out of time to modify the manifest, so I could try it on MyGica box to see if the pop up disappears. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know.

Hello:
Further to my last post, I was finally able to get back to working on this little project. As mentioned in my last post I was able to extract the current build of the Buzz TV apk ver. 1.6 though when I try to modify the manifest the apk editor just sits there saying loading. I left it for 4 hours and there was no change, so I'm guessing its not going to work. Not sure what changed between 1.5 and 1.6 but, whatever it is its not allowing the manifest to load. Maybe someone else here with more knowledge in these matters could find a way to make it work,
As far as the message popping up to update and then the app doing nothing, I went into the settings of the app and turned off "notifications" and that seems to have helped.
Cheers
