New beta available.
Connection to NAS impossible...
sines updating to the new DEC beta ,catch up it skips to the end of the show then ends , this happens after about 15mins mins of watching the program
Please re-test this in today's beta: MOL2 7.6.2 BETA
If the problem persists, please open a support ticket for this.
ok thanks. Sorry. I read it as "it is in the beta but needs more testing so you can expect errors"
I guess i interpreted it like that because I want it so bad. I want to have three devices in my house that are connected to each other and share the same NAS or USB drive, but I hesitate to buy the other two until that functionality is proven to work.
Thank you for waiting.
Please test the NAS mounting feature in the newest BETA firmware v1.4.50
How it works for the NAS mounting feature?
I indicate the path but when i click on "mount", it indicates failed to connect.
I validate smb, upnp but no results...
At beginning (closed testing) hundreds of user wanted to be beta-tester, after thousands of requests and emails we opened this for the public and for such users who want to test and report tested. We appreciate very much the effort from this beta-testers and continuous and detailed reporting, this helps in bug fixing.
Like always written in first post, beta is beta and not for productive use. Sure, stable version can be used until official comes out but it is still beta and sometimes is not included everything.
For such who don`t like to experiment, don`t install beta and leave your running system in peace. Next official comes in most cases fast after last beta and then you can install in peace the new official update.
keep the good work going. 👍🏾 i don’t mind to be a tester and take part to develop the device!
First Post updated with changelog from new beta.
Can't connect to Windows 7 share. Input path as SMB://192.168.2.119/TV and \\192.168.2.119\tv both methods fail. Tried with and without username and password. This share can map with either credentials in other SMB clients fine.
NAME: Anything
Network Path: IP/SHARE or Folder. --- 192.168.2.135/SHARE
Username: your username --- Note: for Windows or AD do not use domain (workgroup\ or [email protected]) you just need your username. example: Tyler
Password: your password to login to the PC or network
=
Successfully Connected --- Big THANK YOU for this feature! Centralized recording on the server for all the box is AWESOME!
Tested roughly last few hours NAS feature, both recording and timeshift are working very nice. Few restarts between and share was always found without issues, was always able to continue without interrupts.
If like Tyledirec wrote 192.168.2.135/SHARE not work instantly, try following.
1. [NAS] Make on NAS in file root, folder "SHARE". You can use other name if you want.
2. [NAS] Give this folder all rights in local network, write and read for all users.
3. [NAS] Check what SAMBA is set as minimum and maximum (on Synology Diskstation it is minimum Samba1 and maximum Samba3)
4. [BOX] Give your Z8 static IP
5. [NAS] Now give your Z8 Static IP all SAMBA and NFS rights and save.
6. [BOX] try again with192.168.xxx.xxx/SHARE and mount. If you do it this way, username and password is not necessary and the connect will be successful.

Correct:
Wrong:

Thanks for the tuto, i'll try later.
Just a question: smb1 is known for security problems, is it possible to set smb2 to smb3?
I'm not 100% sure but think that Samba 2 is now working on Z8. Settings on NAS are only to support all of them, to connect without issues.
can anyone please tell me what samba and NAS IS please
can anyone please tell me what samba and NAS IS please
Samba is a software service (tool) which runs on a device to enable a directory/folder to be available via a network.
A NAS is a hardware device, with one or more disks, which primary function is to make storage available via one or more protocols or services via a network. Services like for example NFS and Samba.
thank you ddd
|OBSERVATIONS ON THE LAST BETA (THE TODAY'S ONE)|
- Still no possibility to remove VoD history (unless I miss Something ?)
- Epg downloading time when connected XC API (a little bit better with Portal) by far too long : at least 10 times longer than with last official version.
Like i told, all there
The usb file proc. will be also included this day.
FYI no more EPG visible using this process (m3u file on USB) since last beta update
Both methods to connect to nas fail and i don't understand why.
1st: both try network password or pc password=> no connection
2nd: i follow the steps but impossible to connect either.
I have already a shield connected (NFS) and no problem at all...
It works with my Qnap nas.
Both methods to connect to nas fail and i don't understand why.
Did you check if Samba on Z8 is not disabled?
hope that someone fix this problem it occurs since the begining of this new feature...
i have already a ticket there Cloud timeshift bug
Did you check if Samba on Z8 is not disabled?
It's enabled.
Weird...
Edit: just to be sure, what are you doing with 5. [NAS] Now give your Z8 Static IP all SAMBA and NFS rights and save.
I set permissions on the folder "share" and i'm not sure about giving ip samba and nfs right and save...
Can someone post a screeenshot ?
Edit2: i wonder [NAS] Make on NAS in file root, folder "SHARE". It's a folder beside Movies, shows etc and not a folder inside Homes?
Thanks.
I will post later this day few screenshots and answer your post.
FYI no more EPG visible using this process (m3u file on USB) since last beta update
you have to disconnet and reconnect the playlist to have them back visible.
Seems to be a bug in the last beta version
You can also use new Menu entry "Refresh"...
Indeed it doesn’t work pushing « refresh » you have to process a logout/login to have them back
when using MAC address portal, some providers EPG does not show when you press the OK key but when pressing the EPG key the EPG shows
Hello,
I installed the new beta but one bug is still there : when I turn off my Z8 (standby mode) and turn it back on a few hours later, I don't have the on-air EPG next to most of the channel names (maybe 5% of channels have it as you can see in the following video). Even if I do a "clear EPG data", nothing changes.
I have to disconnect from portal and connect again, and then all the "on-air" EPG start loading next to all channels names.
Even with the new "Refresh" option, the on-air EPG doesn't load. This is really anoying, as I need to disconnect/reconnect portal every morning and every evening (after coming back home) in order to get the "on-air" EPG... If I turn the Z8 off (standby mode) and turn it on instantly, no issues with the EPG. The issue only occurs when I turn it on after a few hours, in the morning for example.
I made a video to show you this : https://youtu.be/bUeojF8uelw
FYI, i'm connected through portal (MAC activation), not XC API. Ticket already submitted to the support, with the video link as well.
Thanks
Is last beta version to z8 plus Stable.
And last final version.?
I only Wonder and Ask.
And last final version.?
I'm not using the december betas.
I'm on MyTVOnline2 7.5.6 and that runs stable on my Z8 for many weeks.
I now feel as if I will only upgrade if it is really necessary for a new function.
In the official version VoD Catalog was always up-to-date doing nothing...in the beta version we must manually « refresh » to get the VoD catalog up-to-date...is that correct ?

For me it's stable much better than the previous beta. No crashes at all.

Is stable and work smooth i would say better then last official. If there are some differences between the user impression then it`s Regio and provider dependent. Btw. current Beta is Beta 2, next will be the official planed for 06.Jan.

Can not see even with all 3 possible connects, issue like on your side. VOD pictures are loaded instantly and up to date.
Try some other trial sub and compare.

Sorry for delay. Article and how to is now online for all -> How to set Z8 and NAS for recording and timeshift over network.
Thanks a lot Santa Sam, it works now!
Hi,
With the beta version ( I just tested this one) I get no information of current program on channel list. However if I click on the right arrow on channel list it gets the information
If i go directly on epg i get the info also.
i just dont get on the channelist, but it was working on the official update
