Quote from SAM

Is the Controller still bluetooth connected with your Playstation or other device when you try this?

No, after the Pairing the PS4 controller goes OFF (but there is no failure mesage or something like that)

Quote from Jennie

hello, with CEC option, the z8 turns on the TV but does not turn it off. however the two functions are of course on

- NAS mount now visible to other apps

Can you please provide an example of this? I have been able to access my NAS drive using Kodi before this update. What apps can be used now? I am currently using a WD MyCloud and it works fine with MTO2.

A little bug in recordings: when you have 2 or more the same day and you click for example on the second recording (to erase it), the "cursor" always moves to the first recording. You have to move to the recording you want to check.

i still have problems with cloud time shift not going to the begging of a game(mac conection) it shows another one

I was hoping this update would fix the issue with the provider 8000/c issue but I’m still unable to use this provider. Has anyone been able to use this URL 8000

Thanks

Hello, I have the same problem as some of the others in the group. after the last update, the z8 did not start up and only a black screen can be seen. Factory settings have been tried but does not work. has someone already had success with the problem? thx

I tried the factory reset, the power cord disconnected, red button and key 1. then the z8 logo is displayed for about 1 second, but after that everything was black again

I tried often now, but the z8 logo does not appear again only black screen. When i hold the "resolution" button some seconds, the z8 sometimes turns off and the red light is on.

Bingo. I don't know why, but i changed the HDMI cable and all is perfect. Maybe you could explain me why it runs with a new hdmi cable? Before the update it also runs wth the old one?

Thank you very much

Tested and the cloud timeshift starts at the beginning of the current program. Can not reproduce your issue.

Tested but was not able to reproduce reported. Done 4 recordings, gone to Recordings, long press on second , shows all four recordings for check and still marked is the one i did choose with long Ok press. Can not see any issues, marked stay marked.

Btw: What do you mean with cursor, mouse cursor or marked?

Yes, i meant marked.

So it's just me...

After I installed latest firmware update,video and sound senchronization of most of the channels are not normal anymore. Sound tracks 5-6 sec earlier than actual video.

Hello,

Since running the update, Mytvonline works fine but all other apps have connectivity issues.

IE Disney+, Amazon, Speedtest, etc. are unable to connect. WIFI is connected and appears to be working fine with Mytvonline. Resetting the router and modem had no effect. Neither did a hard power off of the system.

I backed up the system and did a factory reset. Seemed to connect for a brief period after I restored and even ran the update to 1.4.80 but the apps don't appear to be connecting anymore even though Mytvonline does.

Thanks in advance

LED light say us the box rebooted and started the launcher. Can you upload screenshot from your blue screen?

Check also your HDMI Cable if connected properly (Box and TV), second hold resolution button for at least few seconds and few times to see if something change.

Thanks Sam. I have found a solution. It seems that the HDMI cable which was connected to AV amplifier and then to speaker system NOW has to be connected directly to the TV. The Z8 seems to be working now. I am going to continue investigating to find out how I can reconnect to my AV system via HDMI. I'll post if I find the issue.

Hi mate don’t you hdmi. From formuler to av then another hdmi. Out of av to the tv

Den123 - You're right:

HDMI from Z8 to AV box.

HDMI cable from AV box to TV.

Speaker cables from AV box to speakers.

The issue is that this setup worked fine before the update but not any more. I thought that the blank screen was a dead Z8 but thankfully it works ok if HDMI cable goes directly from Z8 to TV.

So the problem is with your AV. is the tv and amp synked

Don’t know if I should post this here… I just tested a Formuler Z Alpha for my father. Everything worked perfectly, so I gave it a pass for use by him (as expected, honestly). However, I have one teeny tiny little issue which I did not notice when setting up my own Z8, even though it’s an issue within the MyTVOnline2 app. So It may well be that I just didn’t come across it because I just didn’t have to do the setup any more on my own box.
Anyway, for some strange reason, when configuring a portal, the Portal URL field is a password field. Don’t know why in the name of tarnation that would be the case, but it makes it quite a hassle to enter, let alone verify the portal URL, because all you see is a huge pile of password dots unless you click the little eye symbol next to it… I know, it’s just kind of a cosmetic thing, but I do hope this gets resolved in the next MyTVOnline2 update, as it’s just inconvenient like this… As I’ve said, this may very well be a general MyTVOnline2 issue, meaning that it is present on all other Formuler devices running this app.

Apart from this, I came away from the tests with the Alpha feeling very positive indeed — this may well become my secondary box one day, too.

Do not enable the credental box .

I'm having issues with 2 separate iptv services since last formal update. Changing channels causes the services to disconnect many times. Formula z8, mol2, no vpn. direct eternal at 126 mbps. Have unplugged router/modem many times, cleared cache, logged out of apps, and done all the maintenance. The service admins suggest that it is Mol2 or the sub itself. please help. Thanks

Try surfshark. Vpn. Free trial. 30days. You should have vpn

Why should I use a VPN? I'm not on Kodi or torrent sites. Have used IP Vanish at times and it cuts speed in half. Thanks

What do you mean? The credentials box (login required) is required to get my connection to work, as with any other connection based on the XCodes API. So your reply doesn't make sense in the slightest. Sorry, mate…

Sorry i referred to mac connection .

Hi,

CEC is activate on my TV (LG oled b9)

The option CEC on/off is now avaible with new update on z8 but on activate :

Enable CEC : on
