  • Hi guys,

    Here it goes. Seems a long list, but one could only ask. This list doesn’t mean I’m not satisfied with my Z11 Pro Max!!

    • when the power button is pushed while recording: pop-up and ask if the recording should stop and the box should go in standby, or if the recording should continu and the box should go in standby once the recording has ended. It happens that I record something (programmed of direct) and someone else is watching another channel, and shuts the box in standby without knowing if noticing there's a recording going on.
    • possibility to check the provider in favourite group of vods and series
    • Refresh: possibility to choose how and when we want to refresh all (or even better let us choose which provider(s)) automatically -> at startup, and at a certain hour daily, and at some predefined hours by choice (perhaps only if not in standby), and after each x-hours (chooseable and perhaps only if not in standby)
    • Refresh: put the Refresh (all content) on the main menu (now we have to enter 3 menus to manually refresh all)
    • Refresh: could it be possible to program remote keys for 1) refresh all and 2) actually refresh after new items are added
    • Noticed (latest version, but this was the same on the earlier version) that after an 'all content refresh' (automatical daily or manual) there's always a popup (bottom right) that new content has arrived, a new notification and a refresh content button in the menu. Even when nothing has been added (this can easily be tested & confirmed after 2 refreshings a few minutes after each other & check in the content manager). So my question: if no new content was added (in all providers), could it be possible to eg give a popup with confirmation that the refresh was successfull, but that no content has been added? Just a suggestion...
    • Possibility to sort on Newly Added in the Newly Added section (and even better also in the favourite & history sections) would also help
    • Return of the ‘all’ option in vods and series
    • Vods and series: keep the chosen sorting after quitting the menu and even after a restart (or possibility to choose a preference in a menu - eg last added – now the ‘standard sorting’ returns each time we come back in this list/menu (which I personally find a bit annoying)
    • Menu Connections: possibility to disable one ore more subs for some time (eg when a certain sub is used on another device)
    • EPG via button ok and right -> possibility record/watchlist/...
    • manual offset sync (image - audio) – for me personally very important
    • manual offset sync (image/audio - subtitles) – for me personally very important
    • in MOL3: possibility to choose the player on vods & series (eg. choice between always or once) when starting a vod or a movie (now we must switch each time in the menu to change). On other apps it's possible to start with standard player or to choose an external player at the start of the movie or serie -> this would be even better.
    • in EPG: direct button/link to eg TMDB, IMDB and/or moviemeter (of the chosen program - mostly a movie or a serie)
    • in EPG: direct button to 'Primetime' (a user adjustable time, eg 20h)
    • possibility to progam extra buttons on the GTV-BT1-remote?
    • In general (mostly for vods and series): in the player left = jump back 1 min, right = forward 1 min (where the interval can be chosen) – for now I programmed this on the the GTV-BT1-remote, but not enough buttons to program (see higher point/request)

    I hope there’s some to time to look at all this.

    Best regards

    woste

  • Hey all

    Disconnect and connect the server like mol2

    Newly added first at movies series ( this isnt working after several updates?)

    More info at VOD or series like what kind of a video or a serie it is what story it is ( IMDB )

    Forgot to say maybe this also syncing subtitles with online subs. So +1 or - 1 delay

    Edited 2 times, last by Cemeli: Forgot to mention (December 26, 2022 at 5:44 PM).

  • - More transparency on the VOD subtitles in MOL3;

    - Subtitle positioning on the VOD subtitles in MOL3;

    - Adjusting the almost perfect AFR for Kodi, plex, jellyfin, etc; - (If video source is 1080p then AFR should change resolution to 1080p and not 4k, given that on MOL3 source resolution is respected i assume it's not hard to implement that for every app);

    - Disable LED light; - (when watching movies at night that light is huge, i need to put something covering it)

    - Fixing Android 11 Tv permissions; - (from what nvidia staff said on nvidia shield forum they needed to implement a File Explorer app like "Files" from google embedded in their ROM for it to give permissions to data folder inside android folder and then whenever we use or need to see those files with the file explorer appwe use (X-plore, ES, FX, etc) a popup will appear for us to give permission and we go to that Files app and consent)

    - Back and Forward functions for live channels; - (so we can go back for replays of something we missed and there is no back and forward buttons on remote but those last 3 buttons must be used for something...)

    - DLNA support on MOL3 - (so we can watch our own content on MOL3) :winking_face:

    - Studio mode to watch more than one channel at the same time up to 4 - (you might think i'm hilarious to suggest this, but sometimes, every day i miss this feature, but i understand it's probably a bit complicated, PIP mode is good enough but...)

  • Hi, I think MOL3 is great, would just change these 2 things.

    1. it would be good when recording to not have the red flashing dot on the screen all the time. It gets a bit distracting/annoying.

    2. On the EPG a lot of the channels name don’t fully appear. I think some other apps let you remove prefixes like US-HD, US-4K etc to help, or maybe the option to not display channel icon to give more space for text world be helpful.

    Thank you.👍

  • I would like to see the ability to turn off the white power LED in the system settings. My old WD-TV player (gen. 3) had the following settings for this (from the User Manual):

    :exclamation_mark: "LED Light Control

    Use this menu to turn off the WD LED light (Always Off). If turned off, the WD LED

    will only appear during start up then disappear after the device has booted up. The

    default setting is (Normal)."


    :exclamation_mark: You could also do it with three settings:

    Note: Standby is only affected in the third setting - otherwise as it is now.

    *) always on

    *) on until booted up

    *) always off (also in standby)


    Thank you very much!


    ps:

    A good example of a company that has thought about this aspect!
    Whether a WiFi router/node or a monitor, they give you the option to turn off the (LED) lighting.

  • Folks, please read first post again!

    No answers to other posts, commenting other posts or posting same request again in other post. If one request posted do not post same request again!

    Improvements or fixes from current Bug reports on EPG, Vod or what ever are obvious and should not stated here, it belongs into update thread.

    Btw. the request should be detailed and understandable.

  • Extension of channel history up to 25-30 channels, and possibility to erase channels from that list,for fast zapping between channels.

  • Have recordings of same programs grouped together. When Recordings opened, show list of recorded programs names then when program selected show all episodes of that program recorded. Option for list style or thumbnails.

    Option to download missed programs from EPG not just timeshift watch.

  • Hi

    In recordings: show us somewhere the EPG/Infotext of the recorded program. Now there are only a few words visible.

  • I think they have all been already named more or less, but these are the main items for me right now:

    - Option to hide channel prefixes (for example: US, DE, UHD, 4K)

    - Settings to dim or turn off LED

    - More subtitle settings

  • When setting for scheduled recording, not only a red beam,to see the time for recording,but also a red dot on the specific channel to be recorded (like the Z10pro),it is missing on the Z11.

  • Good morning and thanks to the devs for their good work. There are one or two things that seem essential to me:

    - The automatic return to MOL3 after watching a trailer on YouTube

    - The ability to choose which categories we want to appear in the newly added content (for example, for me I only watch French content and I have hidden all the categories that are not in that language. But in the recently added content there is everything displayed and it bothers me a bit).

    - My system always resets to English after a reboot. I would like the language to remain in the selected language. I would like to point out that it is not MOL3 but the android system.

    Thank you in advance for reading my requests.

    Happy New Year.

  • Hello,

    Would love the option that the Refresh Contents could be automated so that you can set when i should be updated.

    Now you have to go into serval menu's and then you got the Refresh Content button in the Main Menu.

    Should me in the Main menu.

    My provider has daily updates so i now have to do this every day. Bit annoying.....

  • Hello, happy New Year to all and to the developpers !

    Here is a list of some improvements that I strongly suggest, maybe some of them have been asked already or could also be improved in MOL2 by the way :winking_face:

    • When we have more than 1 iptv supplyer and 1 of them is expired or temporary faulty, it's impossible to hide it, it should be better to be able to remove it temporarily from the menu instead of being forced to delete it and re-incode once active again.
    • Still impossible to browse through the complete synopsis in series episodes as well as in the VOD (I know this is in the pipeline) :winking_face:
    • Lack of the field "Added on dd/mm/yy" for the vod and series
    • Lack of a counter of total number of VOD/SERIES in all the categories (could be the same as already present next to each category of Live TV channels), and by the way the total number of content should also be reapeated and accessible for the lambda user in the LIVE TV /VOD/SERIES either in the menu in a "All" category and /or in the general menu Live TV, VOD, SERIES, RADIOS, etc next to each name. For example: Live TV (4550),VOD (35500),SERIES TV (7050),RADIO (300),RECORDINGS (0),etc..
    • in MOL2, in the timeshift on the live TV streams, we had more possibilities i.e.: slow motion x0.6 and x0.3, Fast Forward and Rewind x2, x4, x8 etc.. here, nothing anymore?! We should have at least the same possibilities in MOL3 than in MOL2, not less.. I hope this will be corrected.
    • The new VOD, SERIES and replay/catchup player is no longer simple and intuitive but more complicated to use. I explain: In MOL2 or in the 1st versions of MOL3, it was very comfortable to browse fast forward or backwards with repeated press on the right, or left arrows.. now, repeated "press right" arrow to fast forward are not possible anymore.. on the contrary, it has been made more complicated..and one needs every time to press 3 buttons to go up on the display bar .. not very convenient and a bit frustrating, So, for fast forward or rewind, can't you just get back to the convenient MOL2 player options that were simple to use and perfect ?
    • For the VOD trailers: when finishing to play the trailer, it's stays on youtube instead of coming back to the VOD in MOL3 (like it was automatic in MOL2)
    • In MOl 3 as well as in MOL 2, it would be clearer to replace the symbols next to the color buttons by a more explicit word, example FAV insted of * for the blue button or "sort/tri(in French)" for the red button, etc
    • I recommend to add a button to skip the SETUP WIZARD in portal setting, most of the user don't need it as countries or groups are already customed by the provider.
    • It would be great to be able to delete read notifications
    • It would be great to add a button to delete ALL the history in VOD and SERIES (and not 1 by 1) as well as ALL the favorites in VOD and SERIES at once (idem in Mol2)
    • When more than 1 portal, I suggest to see in the left menu of the countries (for Live TV) and in the VOD and SERIES a title separating the different providers
    • When more than 1 portal, it should be great to be able to chose which provider to show first in the left menu
    • In the VOD and SERIES categories (left menu), when 2 or more providers, the menu is very very long, so it shoud be great to be able for example with a color button (green?) to be able search for a particular category name (ex: thriller), maybe the same for a country in the left menu of the live TV's
    • When searching for a particular TV channel with the green button on the remote, MOL3 searches in all the portals, that's a good thing but the informations or title does not make any mention of the different portal names. (some portals are maybe known by the user as "better" or some others as "weaker" quality.

    Thank you in advance and keep on the good work !

  • Hi,

    Requests for me, it would be nice :smiling_face: :

    - Would it be possible to add an option in the settings so that the screensaver activates sooner than 5 minutes, like 1 minute?

    On an oled screen, the screensaver is important to avoid burn in...

    I tested, even the screensaver integrated into my tv (Panasonic 55GZ1000) does not activate after 5 minutes of pause on a film, because the hdmi port remains powered I suppose...


    - Other request (this is a problem that is also present on MOL2) :

    when we hide groups in the VOD (for example to keep only the films in English, not those in the other languages of the other groups), and when we search for a film, the films of the hidden groups are are also displayed in the results.


    Thanks :smiling_face:

  • Hello all, here are my ideas for improvements, for now, after instalation of this new update. Thanks in advance for all the good work from the devs.

    MOL3 11.1.70, XC-API, Z11 PRO MAX, RESET AFTER LATEST UPDATE.

    Improvements:

    * TMDB integration for SERIES

    * VOD/SERIES "lattest added on" [date]

    * VOD/SERIES TOTAL count, showing inside VOD MENU, and not only on portal info.

    * VOD name disappears after tmdb api aply, but sometimes vod name has some important imformation.

    * Search could show stuff, on every letter we write, and not only when press enter;

    * refreshing the list only really works if this is done on notification panel [on portal info, refresh its not working for me], or on the top of the MENU when it shows there, also works.

    * improve player rewinding and forward.

    * More subtitle settings like size, and maybe implemented right into MOL3 PLAYER for better access.

    * After youtube trailer finished, go back directly to MOL3 instead of staying on youtube app;

  • I would very much have a Pause function when I am recording a program. To be able to cut out the commersials. Will do a lot to the viewing later on. I do watch my recordings more than once you see. Some even 3,4,5 times.

    Should not be to difficult to implement and very well apreciated....
