Perfect player in Z7+ issues

MARCO · April 12, 2018 at 2:41 AM

Hello, this is my first time posting here. I just bought and set up a z7+ and loaded up Perfect player..I can’t get channels to play right on any of the decoder options..each one I select has some sort of issue when channel plays or doesn’t play. maybe I’m doing something wrong. I have used PP in many other devices and not had this problem.

question 2
in mytvonline I cannot get sound with VOD...so I finally selected yes player to use to play VOD, but it’s not best..I have Vader’s IPTV and it works well on my shield.

im brand new to formuler boxes...any pointers on this box and issues to a noob like me would be great
i have a flash usb set up 16gb to help with recording channels.

Hi,

I've not used perfect player myself, any issues though with perfect player would have to be taken up with them as Perfect Player has nothing to do with Formuler.

Can you please follow the below instructions to install the audio codecs, this should solve the audio issue.

Installing codecs

1) Download the codecs file to your computer using a web browser (Addon Linker v1.01.00)

or easier method for novices:

1a) browse to the url above in chrome via the z7+ it will download it to you're Downloads folder on the internal storage. By doing this you don't have to mess about with usb/micro sd card and formatting correctly etc. If you choose this option skip straight to number 4).

2) now unzip the .rar file, differs depending on OS but generally right click and look for something along the lines of 'extract'/extract file, that will unzip the file. If done successfully you will see a new file called Addon Linker v1.01.00.apk.

3) this is where you have a few choices. You can enable SMB on your're z7+ so you can copy/share files from your computer to the z7+ without using a usb/miro sd or if you do not know what SMB is then just format a usb/micro sd card unless you already have done, now copy the Addon Linker v1.01.00.apk on the usb/micro sd card and insert into z7+

4) from home screen - Press the All apps icon to show all installed apps. Choose file browser - store (storage), locate the file Addon Linker v1.01.00.apk you copied to usb/micro sd card. Android names it drives in confusing ways so keep looking it will be there if you formatted usb/micro sd card properly.

5) now once you located the Addon Linker v1.01.00.apk in file browser, basically just navigate to the file to select it and press ok on remote control, at this point you will get a box with message saying ‘For security your TV is set to block installations of apps obtained from unknown sources’. Select Settings then select the slider to enable Unknown Sources (slider will turn from grey to blue. Then press back button on remote, now select the Addon Linker v1.01.00.apk again, press ok on remote and select Install. Codes should now install.

- because we are installing an .apk file (an apk file is basically an installation file bit like a .exe file when installing programs on windows and because it has not come from google play store we have to enable unknown sources. It's basically a security feature to stop good people installing malicious apps from outside google play store.

6) From home screen, select All apps icon, select the Addon Linker app, choose Addon Download tab, select audio_codec_pack.zip so a tick appears in box next to audio_codec_pack.zip then press red button on the remote control, the word Success should appear to the right, now you must reboot your device.

If you want to disable Unknown Sources after installing codec. The same process below can be used to also enable unknown sources.

Note: anytime you wish to install an apk that is not from the google play store. ie. from another android play store or somewhere on the internet, you must enable unknown sources. Just bare in mind that you should NEVER EVER install an app from outside google playstore unless you are sure it's trustworthy, just be careful you do not want to install a malicious app (apk) as some malicious apps can be very dangerous.

1) From home screen, select the cog icon (settings)
2) Select Android
3) Top right hand corner select the magnifying glass, type in unknown or unknown sources
4) Select Unknown Sources and select the slider and it will turn from blue to grey. Unknown Sources is now disabled.

@MARCO just out of curiosity, why use PerfectPlayer when you've got MYTVONLINE ? MYTVONLINE is the biggest selling point for the Z7+. You'll need a MAC address account but the benefits are huge.

Was just about to ask the same thing.

To the OP:
I have used PP, but on my firestick.
I also have Vaders.
MYTVOnline, even with the slow EPG they are working on, is better than PP, IMO.
