  • If the VPN is on the router there is no way for the Formuler device to know about it. Therefore no key icon.

    Am sorry 175n both z8 and z8 pro show key icon when connected to the same network it's only z11 pro max which does not give any indication (key icon) that it connected to a vpn. Anyways thank you for taking time to respond I appreciate it

  • I just recently bought the Z 11 Pro Max and already have the older Dreamlink T1, T2 and T3. Decided to buy the Formuler based on all the great reviews.

    Question though: my T2 and T3 use MOL2 and I have setup to use a M3U files and EPG xml sitting on an sd card in each. In MOL2, don't have to enter file destination as an actual url i.e. http://... but just select the file on sd card and it reads in. It works great for my needs.


    MOL3 doesn't seem to do same, when I select the file after selecting the "folder" icon the Update returns no results for playlist, vod and epg so wondering if I'm doing something wrong for MOL3 to read in the files and apply that is now different than how it works in MOL2.


    Just to clarify, I use the "custom" playlist as a way to limit the number of channels, group them the way I want to (I have 20+ customised groups and MOL3 only allows max of 10 as Favorites), and I have multiple sources of EPGs for various channels as my service provider does not have EPGs for all channels. So my EPG xml file is built using mulitple sources for a more comprehensive EPG Guide than what comes from my provider.


    I have an iptv subscription and that worked setting up as a Portal but prefer to use my custom M3U files instead mainly for grouping channels the way I want and for the more comprensive EPG coverage for all channels.

    How can i erase or clean the notifications history, it's a lot of notifications for content source updating and they are all there...

    For now, not possible to delete manually. Request was already send to devs.

    different sd card - m3u in root, formatted as ntfs. i select for main (m3u), vod (m3u) and epg (xml), but nothing gets loaded and shows "0" for all channels when "Update" in Content Manager.

  • Hello,


    - I allready had the Z10 Pro Max and recently also bought the Z11 Pro Max.

    I really love them!

    But1st thing I noticed was that Miracast isn't supported anymore on the Z11.

    Not that I use it that much but it came in handy from time to time.

    Is this cause of Android 11 not supporting it.. or something missing in the hardware?


    - I really love the MyTvOnline 3 look.

    The only thing bothering me is the searchfunction.

    On MOL2 it showed results while typing the searchbar.

    Now hes is only showing results after pressing enter.

    The MOL2 way was kinda better when you where looking for a movie/serie but wasn't sure about the full name and saved a lot of typing. :smiling_face:


    - And last.. Is there a way to keep movies and series sorted on "newly addet"?

    Cause now it's going back to default as soon as you leave the section.


    Those are the things I think that could be improved. Or better yet, brought back from the Z10.


    Wish you all a happy New Year later tonight! :grinning_squinting_face:

    Same issue (other user report) was already forwarded to the devs.

  • Hello…new owner of a Formuler Z11 Pro Max…Being in my mid 70’s…this streaming stuff is new to me…I don’t have a clue on how to use MyTvOnline3 app…which is one of the main selling points of formulers devices…I have Paramount Plus account and a iptv Smarters pro setup on my Nvidia Shield pro I have…Hopefully someone can point me to some info on the cheapest way to get mytvonline3 app up and running with some good tv stations and movies as well…enclosing I wish all members a Happy New Year…Later

  • Same issue (other user report) was already forwarded to the devs.

    Just note to the devs that I also tried with a usb stick (128GB) - formatted NTFS using rufus with "m3u" folder in main root - and still does not read the m3u.

    Edited once, last by scottbkk: Found issue and now works! It was an encoding issue on the m3u files themselves (utf-8-bom rather than just utf-8). Everything now works fine. The box is great, super fast and MOL3 is easy to use. ().

    Please read this article to understand how you create Portal or M3u playlist in Z11 after you get subscription from Provider. The Article show MOL1 and MOL2 but the way how to insert is almost same -> How to use MAC/ID portal, Xtreme Codes Api (XC) and M3U Url on Formuler Boxes.


    Video Tutorials -> MYTVOnline2 Video Tutorials


    If your subscription is Stalker, read this thread: https://support.formuler.tv/kb…series-with-mytvonline-3/

    I suggest to create XC Api Portal.

  • If stalker in use, set offset.


    Other languages should come with next update.

    I have also Problems with EPG via Username and password login. On other box (z10 pro max ) same provider i do not see an issue. Is this something knowen and will it be fixed in next update?

  • Contradicting frame rate! You can see it if you blow it up a bit. I assume it’s 25 fps but still a bit confusing. It’s a Formuler z11 pro max using my tv online 3. Is it possible to get this straightened out? Or just a provider issue?

    What's the problem? You know that 25fps material will always play better at 50HZ right? Now i have that channel and that specific channel on my provider has 3 streams and luckily i get the 50fps one because MOL3 probably chooses the best out of 3 accordingly with your internet connection probably.

    Frame rate wise, MOL3 always change 25fps or 50fps to 50HZ. Now what you are seeing in the description is a bit odd, i can't see that...is that any OSD extra info?

    Its a known issue en will solved in a update.

    Use de next work arround


    I was from the beginning on XC, and has the problem with the channel information (no information)

    I still need the workaround, set time zone to GMT 00:00 and date/time manualy to the correct time and in portal EPG to none (0).

    For me this is the only way to have the correct EPG Guide and channel informatioin.



    Wish every body a Merry Everything and aHappy Always

  • Just the info that comes by the info button


    Nice catch, ok, i have the same info 1920x1080 25fps, but it must be generic, i wouldn't pay too much attention to that info, the one that says 50FPS is probably the one you should take into account. Either way the correct way for playing 25/50fps streams is at 50HZ refresh rate and if you don't see any problems it's because everything is working fine. My streams are always smoooth at 50fps played at 50HZ. Everything works as expected on that regard...

    Folks about what exactly are we speaking here? AFR is on, the 50HZ are shown because AFR is on and works, the 25hz shown in info are the real stream data you get from provider before AFR overtakes.

    If you want real 25hz, turn AFR off.

  • What's the problem with disabling auto FR in the MOL2 and 3 settings and you'll see the original image.
