Hi
I thought to start a thread where everyone could request additional features (IF POSSIBLE) they would like to see on Formuler Z8 Box.
One feature i would like to request is while watching anything in VOD and if want to go back to live tv, i would have to exit out from the movie/tv series first then only the live tv button on the remote will take me to the live tv.
It would be very convenient, doesn’t matter which screen or whichever vod i m playing, i press the live tv button and it takes me to live tv right away.
scheduled recording of course my wife cannot leave without it!
search for program name
EPG in different Colors to change
I would like to see an option in MTVOL2 to 'Reload Portal' in the connections settings in the menu.
I would like if possible. Different colours on WiFi simbol when is on and when is off.
Could be white when on and red when off or loosing signal.
Should be 2 different colours.
Thank you in advance 🙏
Option to have time always on.
So time could be showing all the time on or off.
changing portal/playlist do not clear all scheduled recordings.

Coming in next update. Approx. late March

Known issue. Will try to squeeze it into the upcoming update.

New centralized Recordings/Reminders manager in coming soon.
Scheduled recordings will survive portal change.
hello
Ability to create multiple favorite groups for channels tv and to be able to create favorites in VOD and a section watched recently.
Thanks
When in live mode, it also starts recorded when you hit the pauze button. So you not first have to press record button before you can pauze.
Genres for VOD and TV (action, thriller ect.ect)
Resume VOD's and TV series
Not a feature but a tip. In some cases in live TV the information display won't disappear in a few seconds and have to press exit manual.
Go into setting and change the OSD time OSD= on screen display
The ability to hide or remove unwanted channels
Is there any chance the adverts can be skipped? This would obviously only work on catch up tv or recorded (once it records).
Keep up the good work!
Go into setting and change the OSD time OSD= on screen display
Still in some cases it will not disappear until you press exit on the remote.
I really like the feature which Z8 have to hide unwanted groups in the portal.
Is it possible to do the same thing for VOD ?? If some people dont want to see various movies group, they will be able to hide it.
Hi i could do with a bit of help i am knew to formular z8 i have switched from
A mag 322 i was wondering how i watch something that was on yesterday i have went back to the time and date I require but when i press ok to watch nothing happens
Hi Lal85. Providing you have catch up included with your service an you added a mag portal an not m3u, I'm guessing the answer would be yes to both, try pressing the Epg button on the remote, have a look at the channel list, do you see a circular icon with a play symbol inside? next too any of the channels? If so they are your catch up channels, highlight the channel, navigate back time/day an select what you want to play. 👍

Will be available in the summer update probably.
The need is known and the feature request is already on the roadmap.
Features I would love to see is the ability to hit any button on the remote at anytime. ie when in the classic or normal guide to switch to the epg guide. Also the ability to hit the menu button at anytime also. Currently you have to back out of everything just to go where you want to go. I forgot to add the ability to hit the info button in any guide.
Still in some cases it will not disappear until you press exit on the remote.
And, you fix problem? I have same issue.
Catchup up to current program.
Catchup with m3u playlist.
Fast forward and Rewind in catchup in xc portal.
Option to use external player in Tv Series in xc and Mac portal
Catchup up to current program.
It is being worked on. It may be ready for the June software release
Catchup with m3u playlist.
If some standardized API exists for this, we can consider implementing it. Can you provide the API documentation?
Fast forward and Rewind in catchup in xc portal.
Known issue. Will be patched in June update.

Was not a known issue. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
Hi all, New to the forum. Lots of previous with other boxes. Loving the box and features. I have a question, is there a "how to" to tell me how to
copy an App or file from the internal storage to a USB memory stick or to a micro disc?
thanks for any direction, Brit20
Wrong thread.
This thread is for feature request only.
Would definitely like to have scheduled recording where you can go to a channel and just set recording time and days for recurrent recording. Most iptv providers have choppy EPG and this EPG record for future programming is not enough. Is this even the works for next update.? And when is it estimated.!?
Has it been discussed about having the EPG load in advance and/or quicker? I think MOL1 did this later in it's release. Just wondering if this has been implemented, or if I can change a setting to enable it,

Should come with next summer update.

EPG is still in continuous optimization. Formuler boxes could get the data much, much quicker but the problem is, the server/portal side scripts recognise so much data requests as flood and bann the ip in some cases. From Provider to Provider different. Also, it is very big difference, if user have only four Categories with needed 600-700 Channels or 10.000 and never use 9.000 but this costs traffic and load time.
Do we know when the summer update is estimated to happen? Thanks
End Jun <> August. First will come Beta out.
Sounds good. Thank you for the prompt response.
Hello Guys, if I understood correctly this thread is for futurs features requests, so wanted to add my wish but I am sure someone must had requested that so I was thinking if My online tv 2 app allows us to connect all portal/m3u lists and populate the channels lists together, is it even possible? Admin kindly advise
Feature 1) Please Please make it possible to choose a NAS als main recording device instead of USB.
The reason I will not buy 2 more Z8 is because they can not share recordings from one source!
Feature 2) Make it possible to make more than one custom favourite groups and hide the ones you do not want to see. It would be nice to make it possible to give them your custom pictogram.
so then my channel list would look like this. and i should be able to scroll through the main categories to get quickly to the channel I want.
Main channels
Sports
kids
etc.
Is planned to come with next or after next update.
@All
In this thread please post only Feature Requests for Z8 and MOL2. Off Topic postings will be deleted! Thank you.
Recording marker: Please make it possible to show a red dot in front of the channel in the channel list you are recording instead of on the main screen.
give the user te choice of turning these on or off.
Enable parallel streaming: to do multiple recordings simultanuaously and/or watching another channel than you are recording. I have a 1 Gb fiber connection, so bandwith is not a problem.

Bandwidth not the issue in most cases.
Does your provider even allow more than 1 simultaneous connection? For MAC portals I highly doubt it.
We want equal opportunity to make different favorites different favorite list it should make it easier to browse through different channels.
Channel list features:
• make scrolling through the channel list easier by making the list smaller and adding one row would improve the scrolling and overall experience for sure.
Favorites;
• For In (for example) Germany List when I select my favorites then;
• press button —> small pop up options appear with
• All Channels
• Only favorites
When choosing favorites then only Favorites appear only for the Germany channel list.
Now we’ve (so far I know) only one Section “Favorites” we’re all favorite channels from all lists are in it.
It’s Cluttered, not easy too navigate, too much scrolling too get the particular channel.
That’s for now
Please add a way to hide the red dot and time counter in the top right while recording.
Maybe when recording, change the front LED to red?
If the EPG could be visible before selecting the channel, that would be terrific and would be a match to most other boxes and even the dreaded SIPTV .

This works but depends how you are connected and how fast the EPG generates.
