1. set buffer to large in mol3 settings
2. disable vpn if enabled
3. some routers have a setting to give priority to streaming enable it if present.
4. other issues are related to isp latency and quality of iptv provider's server. (you can't do much on your end for this)
Hi guys,
I have been having this problem that most of my channels have started to buffer forvlike 20-30sec. Are there any settings in Z11pro that could induce or assist that ?
Thank you for an excellent site...
You can set buffer time to long, this will help.
Mytvonline3 > Menu > Settings > Player Settings > Buffer time set to long
As for any additional buffering, have you confirmed your internet isn’t dropping out occasionally.
For example, WiFi drop or if you’re using Powerline Adapters to convert signal to Ethernet ensure they’re not dropping connection.
If you’re using Ethernet, confirmed cable is suitable and undamaged
If you’ve eliminated it being an internet issue then it may be a provider issue
hi guys
Just wondering if other have this problem too.
I'm testing some providers and with most of them I have sync. problems on vod movies and series. I have a Sony receiver ; mostly happens with dolby 5.1 audio ; the audio is ok for a few seconds, then there's a short image glitch, with the result that the audio is out of sync for (mostly 0,3 seconds). This is very annoying and makes most movies and vods unwatchable. I know there are some solutions (eg turn off the receiver, use another player and manually sync,). I'm mostly using MOL3 (no possibility (yet??) to manually sync (suggestion I've made a while ago in the suggestion section)), also the same occurs in eg Tivimate (there's we can easily manually sync. or use another player (asked at each startup). The providers say they can't do anything about it.
Any solutions (+ FYI: not able to upload video)?
up ...
Still getting this problem with all new testproviders, so if dolby 5.1 -> short glitch after some seconds -> audio out of sync. for exact 0.3 sec. With standard MOL3-player nothing's watchable with dolby 5.1. Still no suggestions or solutions (eg manually sync, give the possibility to choose another player at startupv movies+series, others -> any idea if one or more of these options could be looked at at and integreated?)

Hello guys,
i cant believe this:
when I am recording on a ssd and I put the device on standby, the recording stops.
how is this possible?standby will suspend processes so recording will stop it is not like the phone that will turn off display and still run apps example whatsapp voice conversation or simcard talking.
Hello guys,
i cant believe this:
Codewhen I am recording on a ssd and I put the device on standby, the recording stops. how is this possible?
I to find this puzzling as i read in an old post by SAM,that the box in standby mode goes into a "sleep mode" for about 3 hours,so there should be no reason to stop recording?
for schedule recording the box will wake up from standby/sleep and after it will return to the standby power state.
if you go on standby during recording it will stop the recording.
I was used to an enigma box. if I pressed record while watching and put the box on standby, the process continued.
why is it not possible that the box only goes on standby after the recording?
and how to solve if I record the rest of a program and then the box goes off?enigma using Linux and z series using android which handle process differently.
example formuler remote can only send single key signal so if you have to use a two key shortcut it is not possible.
if you go on standby it will freeze mytvonline so recording will stop(no background processing)
is like a bare in hibernation or fish under the ice.
even the powerful pc if you put it in standby windows will stop recording.

Not always; if the programming is okay, you get a messagebox that Windows/IOS is prevented to shutdown or go into standby….. Office does that for instance 😉
Of course, playback must continue in standby mode.
Is a programming mistake.
Has a satellite receiver that works perfectly.

correct some apps can prevent standby or give a message or in your example office will give the message to save before hardware shutdown/standby
but the thing is i was trying to say nothing will continue to run/execute when standby occur due to the hardware power state.
even ios previous versions you couldn't run multiple process, only the active foreground will take precedence.
Is there any way to set manual recording on Z11 Max Pro? Need to do this for channels where there is no EPG.
1. ?? How to schedule a recording when no information is displayed in the EPG
-Press the EPG button on the remote
-Move the cursor to the approximate desired recording time slot
-press ok
2. manual recording:
-press recording on the channel
-press recording again to access the time start and end and make time adjustment.
Of course, playback must continue in standby mode.

Yep, I have a Samsung SMT-C7140 and does the job perfectly, even when the device is put in standby manually.
Jumping Rabbit; I’m not trying to convince anyone, just letting people know that other devices can deal with such kind of features ;-).
Hopefully the devs see the advantages of these features so other people can benefit such feature's after been implemented. It helps making the Z11 more value for money….

Yo are right Tom. even the Z11 must act like Z8 and others when you still recording and hit on standby. Other Formuler Boxes give you warning to stop the recording and go into standby or continue and dismiss standby.
This issue was bespoken this morning with Formuler and the devs. will be informed about this to fix it in future.
Thanks all for reporting this issue.

It is strange. I reckon before last update, the Z11 would wakeup automatically from standby for an upcoming scheduled recording. This does not seem to be the case anymore. When the Z11 is woke up from standby afterwards, the "reminder" popup shows up (asking you to add a reminder, wait 1 minute, etc.), then records about 2-3 seconds then exit.
you mean the beta update 11.2.2?
hi guys
Yestarday during a scheduled recording, someone accidentally pushed the 'off' button -> recording finished ... This is really something that should be looked at.
it was submitted as a feature request to implement a dialog to cancel power off/standby when an active recording is in progress.
Hi Sam, I have lately a problem he shows me
UnexpectedloaderExeption I didn’t have before what can that be the problem?

Hi,
Try with deleting MOL3 cache and restart.

Is bespoken and forwarded to the devs.

No, 11.2.1. Haven't tried 11.2.2 yet.
review the fixes and try if it applies to you.
Timeshift only works If I go back 5 days? If I try to watch something from yesterday or a couple of days ago I get message
Timeshift Error can't play this video?. Any idea's
Thanks in advance.

Ik think, first connect your iptv provider.
sometimes when i scroll through the vod, i get the message "vod not available". and if I keep scrolling after that, I generally do get a connection to the vods.
is this a known issue?I believe the timedhift issue is related to streams needing to be set to HLS. Sam had told me the only way to do this is via m3u connection (not xpi or Mac). Is this correct?

Apps on alternative devices such as “sticks” have the ability to switch between stream formats such as HLS and Mpegts as and when required but Formuler doesn’t have that ability for this task.
I trust that if Sam said it’s only possible in M3U then it’s likely that is the only way when using Formuler.
Even installing alternative external players on Formuler won’t help because that’s used for movies and series and nothing live tv-wise.
Hope that info makes things a little clearer
I have no such issue while scrolling through VOD or Tv Series on both MAC and XC. And that's not timeshift, timeshift is the ability to kinda record live streaming so you can go back watching something you missed, it records to the same place as normal records are stored (i use SMB local share), but when we change channel it deletes what was recorded, something like that and for me it works also on MAC and XC, while i don't use it because my provider have EPG, so when i want to watch something i've missed i go to EPG and select the live stream, it will begin the live event and then i can scroll to where i want...
On VOD when i open any movie i can scroll to whatever timestamp i want in a matter of seconds. When i can't do that is because i need to refresh stuff, that's what my provider told me, either that or change VPN ip address...

you could change the mpegts to hls(adapting to network conditions) format using the m3u url end parameter
MPEGTS:
&type=m3u_plus&output=ts
hls:
&type=m3u_plus&output=m3u8
mol will give the option to convert to xtreamcode api
I thought the epg offset issue was resolved.
when I change epg, next to the channel I get the message: no information.
i use 2 providers where i have to use different epg offset.
Is it true that this issue hasn't been resolved yet?Is it true that this issue hasn't been resolved yet?
It is resolved (Stalker) with latest Beta and Alternative EPG Mode. For more Informations read Beta thread.
Will epg issues ,on XC connection,likely be resolved in the next upcoming update?
In the past I have switched from stalker to XCAPI for better EPG......maybe now I have to switch back again 
First I need to find out if my provider was able to solve their EPG issues.

My box uses XCAPI.
Will this issue resolved in next update? And when?
Thanks
