Lucky13 · March 3, 2020 at 12:02 AM

AFR (auto frame rate) – is function which designed to match the media player's output frame rate to the original frame rate of (video) content

This feature should help the MOL2 stock player play a wider range of video frame rates.... Some on demand content of my IPTV provider would just play choppy on the stock player, so I would have to use VLC as my default player. In theory, turning on AFR should fix this issue with the stock player.

Just came on here today and learned about the beta release, I will install and put it to the test tomorrow.

missi · March 9, 2020 at 10:15 AM

installation done without issue

ajdee · March 9, 2020 at 12:26 PM

Do it works Good missi?

it works better than the last release on epg?

in single mode?

Jeru79 · March 9, 2020 at 10:50 PM

Since the Beta ihave problems with Vod and Series icant go in. Live tv is without problems only Vod i cant go in

sparren · March 10, 2020 at 6:58 PM

After download new beta mytvonline2 crasching sometimes when i change channels, almost same as last beta in november/december

SAM · March 10, 2020 at 9:25 PM Official Post

Tomorrow should come official if devs have finished open work today. If such issues appear after install of official update, you need to do factory reset.

sparren · March 10, 2020 at 9:33 PM

I had same issues with last beta but after update it be ok without do factory reset

Strange that u have to do factory reset all the time

ajdee · March 10, 2020 at 10:00 PM

Sam why do i need to factory rereset

If the release come Tomorrow?

Strock · March 10, 2020 at 10:15 PM

it's written that you may have to do a factory reset if your issues still appear after installing the release

SAM · March 10, 2020 at 10:15 PM Official Post

People, please read what i write. I wrote "If" the issue happen again with official and not you must do it when all works fine...

ajdee · March 10, 2020 at 10:49 PM
