Beta software 1.4.6 <> 1.4.13 for Z8.

BUG : when you put every apps in launcher group A or B, a new installed app wont appear. If we add it to a group, wont apper neither. If unselected again, Launcher crashes, then the "main" group reappears with the freshly installed app.

thanks for the report. will forward the bug to the devs

I do not have this problem, if I download a new application it appears well in the apps group, I can then put it in other groups without problem.

Updated to latest Beta. "LeenBackLauncher" keeps crashing all the time and I cannot continue (can't do antything)...

What to do? If Reset, how do I do that (cannot access any menus 😔)

Same thing happened to me yesterday after updating to the latest beta.

Might be a bug?

I had to do this to get my Z8 working again.

Tried that but doesn"t work. Always comes back to "LeanbackLauncher" failed.

Doesn't even work to do Factory reset...

Is any of the beta updates resolving wifi connection drop?

If not can you please fix this issue on next update?

When is the official update come out?

Thank you in advance

GreenTurtle and all others with same problem.

Please try to reproduce the issue and make handy video from this, so we can forward the material to the devs. Upload to mega or some other hoster and post the dl link here. Thank you.

The Issue is now known and we try also to reproduce it.

In your case: Did you try to cut internet from your box and restart again? Try this and change then app setting.

Yes, tried everything with no luck

Attached a video what happens when I startup Z8 (the screen says "LeanbackLauncher crasches all the time - Close app"
I can start MOL2 by using my keyboard, ALT+TAB, enter Market and Start MOL2

Might of found a bug on most recent beta...I have one m3u subscription and for adult channels it keeps prompting to enter PIN everytime you change channels does not appear to do so for MAC portal subs.

Can anyone try and reproduce?

@GreenTurtle

Thanks for the video. I deleted the link because of provider name inside.

Could you tell me what else have you connected to your box (USB)? Could you plug out the usb stick or hdd if in use, restart the box and check again?

Ok will test.

Edit: Tested, reproduced and reported to Formuler.

I've a Logitech USB-dongle connected (also tested without it connected, same result).

Problems started when I tried to re-organize the icons/groups. Launcher crashes all the time and I cannot even do a Factory reset (because Launcher crashes)

Quote from SAM

Try to do factory reset again. Power off your box.

1. AC power on
2. Press RED button rapidly
3. Front LED will flash red-green-red-green...
4. press 1 on the remote

Steps 1 and 2 should be done simultaneously.

Done that over 10 times. Doesn't work since Launcher is crashing!

Quote from 175n

Did you read the instructions?

Yes, of course (if you mean the instructions provided by Sam?). Even tried the manual way with USB stick...

Quote from 175n

You should read the instructions carefully and try again.

Just in case it isn't clear, you should remove the power from the device first.

Yes, done that everytime!
I can provide a video next time if necessary

Made some further tests tonight and found the problem. An app in Google Play "TV4 Play" messed everything up. Deleted it and now everything works again 👍👍

Any news on the bug that makes your live TV channels being black/not playing at all after a while until the app is turned off for around 10 minutes or you play another subscription? Will that be fixed for the official release?

I've been updating to all betas so far and the black-channels after a while bug has been present for quite a long time in all the betas.

IPTVsmarters is what I'm using in the meantime to prevent that, but it's up to the point of me wanting to sell the box and get something else instead.

I really like the Z8 and MyTVOnline2 when it works, but this is getting ridiculous. Also "live" timeshift (when it's enabled server-side) is what I miss quite a lot and hope it makes it in the software soon.

I can do live timeshift. To make it work I replay the current program in the catchup menu.

I also have this issue, I didn't before the beta update which I only installed on the very latest beta, before that I stuck to the standard build. Its definately mtol2 bug, the app doesn't crash, its still running, it just drops the connection to the panel/provider, instantly cuts off, mine doesn't connect again after that unless I close the connection then restart the box. Same thing happens half hour later.

Using MyTVONline2 or something else? Tried it yesterday, however it didn't work - a program marked as "Live" in the catchup menu of MYTVOnline2 doesn't play from the start, only from where it's currently at. Immediately after the program is over it plays okay. Can you tell me the steps you use to make it work?

I had it with standard as well, it was even more apparent there for me. Indeed - the app itself doesn't crash, it continues to run - VOD works fine when it happens, just the live channels bug out. I will try with a reboot as well, but I would prefer to have it fixed for release or next beta.
