    Now more than 2 months after the first beta release thats been whitdrawn because of serious issues not even bug fixes for the beta testers?? Never saw this before.. unbelievable !! What are they doing there...👿

    Why are you treating this any different than what Apple does with their Beta releases? You download at your own risk because this level of Tech is to be considered a Hobby. IPTV streaming, is buy or use at your own risk with zero guarantee. I am not looking to pick a fight here, but some of you guys (like you) act like you are subscribing to DirecTV. Are you better served buying a Fire Stick and using the other software? and oh, BTW, Amazon is working feverishly hard in trying to shut down 3rd party apps.

    I have nothing with apple and never had a device of then..i am aware of the risks of testing beta software and done a lot in the past, youngman... If you release a beta software and ask volunteers for testing, at least be communicative and make it you're priority to follow up releasing bug fixes..not 2 months and counting.. i done a lot of beta testing for mayor hifi brands, after releasing a beta and reports came in, a few days later there was a fix...i reported a bug about subtitles august last year, with beta mol 4 8 months later at least that was fixt... :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

    Sounds like you should go back to your mayor Hi-Fi brands and although I am not a young man, you referencing them as Hi-Fi is surely dating yourself :face_with_tongue: Reading the tea leaves here and pretty sure I am accurate, the Beta release was a disaster, hence they are probably working on this feverishly to fix. Your comments regarding communication are not entirely wrong, but I don't think this is too difficult to figure out. Lastly, I don't think anyone of us who have worked with this Beta has been left completely disabled or crippled by it. I still have streaming every night... how about you?

    Well, I agree it's a bit odd to release a beta without any follow-up, it would be Formuler's interest to have ppl test further, better betas before official release. Go figure.

    My MOL usage is so trivial that I'm not having any particular issue with the current beta

    Well said, no one has been crippled by the Beta... also, confident if they had a reasonable follow up they would announce it. Folks like SAM has been very responsive to all of us in this thread.

    Do we have a general "bug" page post thread for MOL4? I've found a bug where catchup doesn't work with my portal only using MOL4 and can confirm its functional on all other devices including mobile app with same settings that have been exported for the box.

    Hi, Stupid question but have you tried to fully restart the device by pulling power? I have 3 Z11's and one Z12 and I noticed from time to time, catchup works on one and not the other. When I did a hard restart and updated EPG, it works... Go Figure! My Z12 thus far has been working perfectly with MOL4 as it relates to Catchup.

    All reports from thread are forwarded and under check, the requests too. So you cane imagine that bugfixing, changing many things or even new menus need time. They working on stable version and i guess it is what we all want.

    Not stupid at all! I’ve left the box unplugged for 3hours and attempt again. It fails right away.

    Recently, I had a iptv channel that is showing an expired contract with the provider. With another iptv provider I use, I can search and find the alternate channels and regain access. Example: KXYZ (A) is not working but KXYZ (H) is available. MTV4 doesn't seem to have that capability; only lists one option. Is this something that could be included in the next update?

    Upon further review, I discovered the alternate channel search is controlled by the iptv provider. I have two formuler devices with different iptv providers. When changing the provider on the Z12, it functions properly.

    There is no setup wizard so I’m having to unhide group one at a time

    Yes, that's a bad behavior in this beta. In MOL3 you could enable or disable groups by pressing the red button. Now it takes so much time by only can do one by one.

    Have a nice day 🌞 🙋🏼‍♂️

    New update to MOL4 came out about an hour ago, updated and now I get this error when the device restarts and it won't let me do anything, keeps opening this error even when I close the error, I can't get to the apps to remove it:

    I didn't get the error before this update, please see attached picture. How do I fix?

    try to access home screen > settings > apps > system apps.

    From here, you should be able to locate the shizuku app and delete it.

    Took awhile, because every time I went to apps to uninstall it, it kept bringing up the error and closing the settings, but I finally got there fast enough to uninstall it and now at the "Installing MYTVOnline4" screen that shows a USB going to the Z12 Ultra Box and a line with a percentage, been at 40% for awhile now. Gotta walk the dog, will give it some time and let you know.

    I had exactly the same. Fortunately, by pressing the home button I did get all the time to uninstall the Shizuku app. I never installed Shizuku myself, so this should be added to the upgrade instructions.

    It took a while to pass 40% for me too, but it went further by itself after waiting a while.

    You had to do factory reset. Then you know for sure it was gone


    But you fixed it already. Good job my friend
