Netflix does work in hd, you just have to find the right version Netflix but you have to going find the hd version on github google is your friend the latest version will not do HD . I’ve tested a few version they play 1080 on Netflix, and on the Netflix addon kodi - qhd. The tests where done with test patterns found on Netflix. Disney plus is still not HD
What’s the right version to use
I have a couple of questions. I read that you have obtained the official L1 DRM module, but that it requires a separate install. The ‘How To’ link posted above doesn’t work properly (not found) so I would like to have one that does.
But even before that, I’m a little hesitant as to install this update, because I can’t seem to find out whether or not my TV supports HDCP 2.x. The TV is from 2014, and I really doubt it does. So, before even beginning to think of installing this latest firmware for the Z8, I’d like to know if I can force it to continue to use HDCP1.4 (which my TV does support. I don’t mind not being able to use the L1 DRM module that much, as I have plenty of other ways to access Netflix and other streaming services in HD (my TV doesn’t do 4K as the pannel simply doesn’t even know what that is yet, and my eyes are so woeful that they can’t discern the difference anyway.
L1 key deployment has been paused temporarily.
Yes, your Z8 will fall back to HDCP1.4 as long as it is connected directly to the TV.
Yes, you can still enjoy the benefits of L1 DRM at HDCP level 1.4
OK, thanks. That’s made things clear. Do we know when L1 deployment will resume? And, as a matter of fact, do we know why deployment has been paused in the first place?
bonjour, je ne peux pas lire le replay de plus de 8 jours. dois - je faire un ajustement?
hello, I can not read the replay of more than 8 days. do I have to make an adjustment
After I made the update. I can't see any trailers anymore in vods.
I have another z8 where I did not update. And the trailers is working and can be seen here.
I use xc portal
Same provider on my other box with old version and no problems
Display MoreHI Jennie,
Thanks for your response!
Don't know what connection I use?! I used my data for Portal and m3u line and it worked very well till now. I still have access when I'm logged in via m3u line but portal ability to watch my movies isn't working anymore simply "watch" option isn't there anymore.
It's working on my spare box z7+ but not on this one.
They should tell us if major changes are implemented and not just gone!
On the last update I have lost the capacity to record a channel and watch a movie or series. When I complaint they told me that this function was a bug maybe a nice bug but it was helpful this time after update I lost watching movie capability.
Don't know what to say.
Kind regards,
Lee
Hello, I have exactly the same problem like Lee. I can load the VOD's, if I select a VOD then I have no play button and cannot play the VOD. The external VOD player is deactivated. My provider has already checked his VOD offer - there is no error. I use the Formuler Z8.
Unfortunately I did not make a backup before the update 
.
What can I do, will there be a new update soon?
Unfortunately I did not make a backup before the update
you cant go back anyway
you cant go back anyway
Hello v8rick,
yesterday I made a backup about 5GB for the exercise (the stick had to be formatted in EXT4).
What sense does the backup function make then?
Are only the installed apps backed up?
SO you can make a backup of working Z8 and transfer to another, you are backing up software not firmware . You cannot go back on firmware
Hello, so I only have to wait for a new update if I want to watch VOD's again?
Or could a factory reset fix the problem?
Delete epg cache and restart your box.
Did not solve the issue for me.
Did not solve the issue for me.
Related to thread/post? Can not find any related question from you in this case.
I read and answer xx postings each day, please point me to the right place 
Hello Sam, thanks for the feedback.
I can load the VOD video store, but I cannot start a VOD. Before the update there was a play button next to the picture.
The external player is deactivated.
Hi, if you have any concerns since the last update, check the date and time indicated! Because several people have had the date changed and put in 2017, resetting the date in auto solves a lot of problems
slt , en cas de soucis depuis la dernière mise a jour, vérifié la date et l'heure indiqué !car plusieurs personnes ont eu la date changer et mis en 2017, remettre la date en auto résous beaucoup de soucis.

Interesting , do you know maybe why they did this or what should be benefit to change the date to 2017?
Hello, after the new z8 mol2 update, in the personal groups, the change of channels by the numbering of the channels, bug, that is to say, if I press 3 it sends me to channel n ° 30, and sometimes anything, like that also with other numbers. This over two formulate. And at your home. Thank you
OK, so I took the plunge and updated my box to the new firmware/MOL versions. Everything is working as expected, except:
I will be checking with my neighbour (who didn’t update their box yet) to see if this second issue is also affecting them. However, since this is by no means the first time we have had a provider-side EPG disruption, yet have (nearly) always been able to use catchup during such times, I fear that something may have changed in the handling of EPG and/or programme catchup in MOL2. Again, Smarters IPTV Pro, for example, does allow me to use Catchup, even though the EPG itself is acting up because of this provider-side issue with it (the provider is aware, by the way).
All people reporting issues, please write also your provider connection in the report, this is very important for reproducing and research.
Registered MAC /ID Stalker portal, XC Api with login portal or m3u playlist?
Please read also our how to article -> How to use MAC/ID portal, Xtreme Codes Api (XC) and M3U Url on Formuler Boxes.

Tested now with three different RCU`s on all channels , Favorites and own created group, no issue. Test again with slower button press.
Catchup doesn’t work.
Did you check also "Cloud Timeshift"?
Yes, I did. And it also occurs with my neighbour, who is still on the “old” firmware/software. So I think the issue really is with the provider this time around. We’ll wait and see. For completeness’ sake: both of us use an XCodes configuration with the same provider.
The problem in last time are some provider changing to XC API 3.0 Panel and take also one faulty version, this one makes only big trouble with catch up and users don`t know about this. The last 2.8.xx worked great.
Couldn’t tell you what version of the XCodes API our provider uses. Only thing I know is that my neighbour has the exact same issues today as myself, whilst he is running the older version of the firmware as well as MOL2. I’m keeping him there for now, so as to have a control should I discover anything else. I know that everything worked fine before today for the both of us, but, as I’ve said, I currently feel that our provider is at fault here; not Formuler or its software. At present, there is nothing we can do but wait for this service disruption to be dealt with by the provider.
even slowly there is an error. by typing 3 if string 30 exists, string 30 is displayed. by typing 4 if string 40 exists, string 40 is displayed.
Interesting , do you know maybe why they did this or what should be benefit to change the date to 2017?
hi, it is precisely the z8 which changed the Date to 2017 on its own after the last update, so to solve this problem, you have to set the Date and time automatically via the network because if you do not do it and that we leave in manual, each time, the date changes on its own in 2017, because of that, we don't know how to install an application via the playstore or aptoide, epg worries too, I am thinking of a bug from the last update
salut , justement c est la z8 qui a changé la Date a 2017 toute seule après la dernière mise à jour, donc pour régler ce soucis , obligé de mettre la Date et heure en auto via le réseau car si on le fait pas et qu'on laisse en manuel,a chaque fois ,la date change toute seule en 2017,a cause de ça, on sait pas installé d application via le playstore ou aptoide, soucis d epg aussi,je pense à un beug de la dernière mise à jour
OK, j'ai donc franchi le pas et mis à jour ma box avec les nouvelles versions de firmware / MOL. Tout fonctionne comme prévu, sauf :
- Je n'ai pas de données EPG (déjà effacé le cache EPG; cela semble coïncider avec une interruption de service chez mon fournisseur, donc pas de réel mal pour le moment)
- Le rattrapage ne fonctionne pas. Si je vais à la vue EPG unique pour une chaîne qui a activé le rattrapage, je reçois une liste de programmes pour les jours jusqu'à hier (voir ci-dessus, pas de mal encore). Cependant, la prochaine fois que j'essaye de jouer à l' un des programmes que j'aimerais voir par rattrapage, je reçois un message disant: Aucun EPG pris en charge. Est-ce également lié au problème ci-dessus? Seulement si j'utilise une autre application, cela fonctionne très bien (c'est-à-dire que l'EPG a les mêmes problèmes partout, mais je peux toujours utiliser le rattrapage pour regarder des programmes qui ont été diffusés avant aujourd'hui)
Je vais vérifier auprès de mon voisin (qui n'a pas encore mis à jour sa boîte) pour voir si ce deuxième problème les affecte également. Cependant, comme ce n'est en aucun cas la première fois que nous avons une interruption de l'EPG côté fournisseur, mais que nous avons (presque) toujours été en mesure d'utiliser le rattrapage pendant de telles périodes, je crains que quelque chose n'ait changé dans la gestion d'EPG et / ou programme de rattrapage en MOL2. Encore une fois, Smarters IPTV Pro, par exemple, ne me permet d'utiliser Rattrapage, même si l'EPG est lui - même agit à cause de cette question fournisseur côté avec elle (le fournisseur connaît, par ailleurs).
Salut, vérifiez la date et l' heure indiquées dans le Z8, je parie que la date et l' heure ne sont pas correctes et spectacles 2017

l’Heure et date sont correctes — le système dit que c’est l’année 2020 en tous les endroits que j’ai vu. Je vais redémarrer le système une fois (ou au moins verser le « cache » de la guide électronique), parce que mon fournisseur dit que l’interruption du service de la guide électronique est terminée et je l’ai vérifié dans un autre logiciel.
Mes problèmes sont résolues / My issues are resolved.
It turns out that the EPG issue I was having, was indeed caused server’s end (i.e. it rested with the provider). Everything is working as it should now.
Any word yet on the resumption of Widevine L1 DRM rollout?

Hello,
I am a new member
Since the last update I have an hdcp 2.2 conflict because my television is hd.
I have read the posts before about this but
are there any plans to fix the hdcp problem in a future update?
It's a shame that we can't restore old firmware.
Best regards
SAM please PM me if and when you’d like me to start work on improving the Dutch translation. I shall need easy access to any and all translatable strings.
I can also help to translate strings too Dutch.
2 years ago i said already but never hear of it anymore.

Well, in that case you’d better stress the urgency of the matter, as there are blatant mistakes in the Dutch translation. I can live with the fact that it’s not 100% complete, as new features have been added to the system and its software since the original Dutch translation was carried out and verified, but there are also some — to put it mildly — very strange word choices in there. That would be fine for a free, open source application, but not for hardware which is sold in stores and has a justified sense of professional development to it. As you’ve pointed out more than once before, it takes years to develop the hardware and software for each box. So I can imagine you would want nothing less than perfection. Unfortunately the Dutch translation has slid far from that mark and, frankly, could blemish your reputation. I tend to use the English language for most if not all electronics in my household, but that obviously cannot be said for everyone. And even from the relatively short amount of time I spent navigating the system in Dutch, I could accumulate a vast number of issues with its translation.
Look, I get that the functional workings of the software (i.e. does everything work as intended) are much more important than a translation’s level of accuracy, but it still needs addressing, in my opinion. So, with regards to importance, I’d really set this in the medium range at the least. I’ll wait patiently for you to get the green light, though. Can’t do much else without it, now, can I?
