    I definitively don`t need to comment each post and report + as Forum Admin i will not promise or tell anything that is not 100% for sure confirmed from Formuler side.

    Info for ETA and next working update? This one is 5 days old and you want already other one. If you think this goes so fast then you are wrong!

    Not everyone have same issues like you, think little bit about that.

    If you want to discuss something with me, you can pm me, this thread goes otherwise off topic and that will not happen!

    How is it going offtopic if me and other customers are saying the update is horribly buggy, and listing workarounds for it??

    It's so buggy that your €159 euro device becomes UNUSABLE unless you spend HOURS trying workaround and fixes by yourself, without any technical reply from STAFF unless you specifically ask for it, and you get a lippy answer?

    not sure i got the problem since the last update but i just notice that sometime the channel encode in 1280x720 29,97fps/aspect(16*9)a/v (aac/h.264) the audio is out of sync, i just cycle through problematic channel and the audio seem to came back normally sometime. Afr on seem to be worse, but got the problem with afr off. Test with formuler z8 pro and no audio sync with the same channel.

    reset a pain in the ass?
    explain please...

    reset is 2 minutes work, to get back online is also 2 minutes of work.
    i dont know whats the problem? maybe we can help?

    If you need to install kodi again with all addons and special things. Youtube in kodi dont work anymore. Account api issue. I once manage to let it work. I spent 3 hours with installing after a reset.

    How can we create a backup? The older boxes got a backup option but this one not.

    This is my first formuler box. Hardware is ok but software and options are not ok. Adding a nas as storage is still not possible. Standard things are not in the software. 160 € is to much!!

    When your box is on and you included the path (ip and folder), did you restarted your NAS?

    Quote from Nelutz

    Than for sure you have the z10pro not the pro max ,because I have both models and this problem is with the pro max.

    I have pro max and no issues since the new update. Before that, I was considering returning the box. I have not done the reset or anything like that, just clear cache regularly. I know this might not help resolve your issue, just wanted to say not everyone has problem with the latest update.

    I have this stutter or a black screen too when I watch a uhd/4k series or a movie on a Max. But when I install my z7+ I have no problem. It's a software problem I know that. And I tried all of this things in this group and still not working.

    I hope it will be fixed in the next update

    Its a software problem and you know that? All good here so maybe you don't know as much as you think

    maybe its time to just Reset the box for 1 time.....it takes only a couple of minutes to reset to factory and setup iptv again.
    it can help a lot!

    i have 3 boxes since the release (2x z10 pro max and 1x gtv), and more then 15 friends/family have this same box (z10 pro max) now for around 2 months.
    All with the latest update.

    Nobody, really nobody has a problem!
    maybe its also the problem of a cheap iptv provider? Ali Account?

    i read things....that ive never seen. and we use the boxes 24hrs a day .

    wifi or cable....all work perfect
    display settings on auto
    afr-->ON
    powersetting, shutdown = shutdown (no sleep/standby mode!)

    so please, do a full clean setup....or i really think the problems u have, are from the provider u use....(if other boxes work.....it still can be a iptv provider problem!)

    that can be thousands of things.....
    because a z7 is working, its still not the answer on why de z10 has that problem.
    because you dont now the answer, it doesnt mean that de software of z10 will be the problem. Thats a strange link you make.

    i hope u dont make a lot of "I KNow Thats".....because you are probably more wrong in a lot of situations than u think.

    i you know whats wrong in the software, u can come with some better compiled code....but....i dont think u even now how to root this box.

    NOt really,I have the same problems that he has and I have the z10 pro max too, yes some time is the server, but I have 5 servers and all they give me the same problem ,again the problem is the Mytvonline2 app is not the hardware, the app is acting so weird since my last two updates, I'm a reseller and I sold by now around 20 z10 pro and some servers can't even connect to the Mytvonline2 an i know is from the app because if I install different app (XCiptv, tivimate etc) the server works like supposed too, so probably I got a batch of them that they don't take the latest updates properly and yes I did factory reset ,hard reset etc.

    Ok....thats really weird! I Love such projects to get it fixed.

    I now already have a list in my mind, to check\debug and get it fixed. As an it pro i think a little bit different to these things. I would be happy to see a device with such problems, and can have it to play with it for a couple of hrs. Ive seen a lot of weird problems...and solutions that are not expected in the first way.

    Dont know if i can say...

    Rip the apk from that z10.

    Use a virtual machine on a pc and test from there. Or via bluestacks.

    If problem is the same ..u are right!

    If not? Than there is definitly a other problem.

    Even a stupid keyboard at usb can make strange problems...sometimes things can be weird.

    I wish i could help testing more

    Yeah that a good ideea to rip the APK, I will try that but for sure it will work ok on the laptop, note: I have a z10 pro not max and I have the same update of the Mytvonline2 and I have no problems,Is so weird ,and this problem came after the last 2 updates , before used to work very good, btw I don't have any keyboard or anything else connect it to the box, and like I said before I have no problems when I use Tivimate or XCiptv 🤔

    How i do that please

    Thank you

    What are discrete codes?

    They are versions of toggle codes that only perform one function. For instance, a "POWER" button on a remote would be a toggle, in that when it is used the current power state is reversed. If your device is on, it turns off. If it's off, it turns on. A "discrete" code would be a signal that ONLY turns the device on. If it is already on it remains so. These are most often used to ensure your home theater components stay completely in sync for powering on and off and changing inputs.

    Means it is hidden command for sleep and wake. Some users reported, the box did not wake up after pressing On button, this should be fix for that problem.

    Why are they hidden? I would love to teach my Broadlink to turn my STB on only if it's off and leave it on if it is already.

    The reason the discrete codes were added was primarily for Logitech Harmony remote users. As an added benefit, users of home-automation systems could use the dedicated on and off commands. The remote that comes with Formuler products does not use the discrete on and off commands and therefore you can't learn the IR codes into your existing system.

    Try to ask someone with a Harmony remote to capture and share the raw codes with you.

    new box from this tuesday, automatic ota update to 10.10.27, after update

    - wired/wifi connection from dhcp no work, only static

    - many restarts when moving between and in applications

    - many freezing,of course a restart is required

    - dvb-t2 impossible search channels - a new start of the device is coming

    - box is unusable, impossible to return to the previous version

    - factory settings, no change

    dvb - utf-8 code is missing in EPG - wrong charset

    Hello I had problems with freezing image in mytvonline2 many resets and updates make no differences returned the Z10 pro max box for a new one but still many times the image freezing.

    Now I installed IPTV smarters and now I don't have any freezing problems.

    Before I changed internet from low 80kb to 1000k and I was thinking that it had to do with the change from internet speed from low to high speed glasfiber. let T-Mobile come for many times but everything was ok.

    So the problem for me is in the app mytvonline2

    I hope that the developers can fix this because I like mytvonline2

    Hello all..

    Im testing the z10 series boxes, and theres something happening with "maybe" android 10 connected to a service with proxy.
    (sometimes happen also on another service without proxy but enters the channel on 2nd retry)

    If i choose channel on channel classic list works fine... only on zapping it happend this.

    ......

    Made a video for you to look into.

    I found oder thing that maybe has influence on this problem,

    If you look close, changing channel on zapping dont work properly, if also change channel on normal menu is the same, but on CLASSIC menu, works everytime.

    Another thing is, look that the channel WITHOUT replay functionality, also works on zapping... only channels with replay dont work on zapping or normal/fast channel menu...

    Seems like your provider doesn`t deliver fast enough the stream on this specific channels and MOL2 shows then this message. I have this always only on two specific channels but it is obvious they are broken. In past the window was black until picture comes, with OS10 and included player comes this message.

    Set your buffer much higher, maybe it helps.

    Dont say that SAM, theres no fastest service then this...

    On Z8pro its all instant on zapp or classic or normal channel selection. Almost nwver see blank/black screen changing channel... if the OS10 show that retry count screen its ok, but not openning the stream its an bug, 100% shoure...

    3s buffer on z8 pro, on the video....

    On z10 pro max with 3s or 10s buffer is the same.

    Hello all! Can anyone check the YouTube application to play 4k clips? I have a resolution of 2160p plays only sound and black screen.

    Display Spoiler


    Works fine for me.

    Share the video title or URL you are trying to play.

    Or try turning the box off and then on and try again.
