    Good morning.I have the formular recently but I can say that it is really well done, congratulations.I would have two requests:

    1.that there is a drop-down menu on multi provider-list.

    2.Instead of putting an image function inside the image, the ideal would be a multi screen with the screen split in two for example, one channel left and another right.


    thanks and congratulations for the super job done👍👍👍

    For Z11 Pro Max BT1 edition/MOL 3 (but not limited to)

    1) ability to change the functionality of the source (upper-left) button of the BT1 remote control so it's not necessary to keep it pressed to switch between the TV/Z11 (changing light from red to orange and viceversa) but just press it once (or double/triple-click it)

    2) ability to map a remote button of the BT 1 remote control so it shows the PIP (and from there choose which channel in PIP etc.) without having to go all the way through Info-> arrow down -> PIP;

    3) ability to delete notifications;

    4) ability to use external video player for recordings;

    5) ability to automatically refresh content data more than one time/day;

    People,Cedel & Furious,i understand your need to discuss this issue,but pleasemake a separate thread of it!

    This is a "Feature request, ....no discussions"' thread,which should give the devs an indication of what features are requested by end user,thats you and me,the thread is already "exploding" with requests (over 11 pages),and discussions should be held on the Open Forum,by means of creating a new thread.:winking_face::winking_face:

    Some other punctual ones:

    - ability to change recording location (if not for MOL3 at least for third party apps);

    - ability to watch and record (different channels) for multiple connections;

    - re-add single channel epg view for m3u (in fact for all types of connections) and the ability to program recordings for more days in advance from that menu (in XC connections this ability lacks);

    - ability to have a programmed recording on a channel even though the box is not set on that particular channel;

    - ability to dim the red/white light;

    And some general ones:

    - add+preserve+enhance and NOT limit functionalities while developing new versions of MOL (e.g. MOL3 vs. MOL2);

    - generally speaking, do NOT put the user in a cage (apple like) by limiting his abilities to make use of the box's and MOL's full potentials.

    Somehow I kinda like MyTVOnline 2.. I vote for looking to bring more from the older interface.

    Having an "all" category of vods that combines all categories i.e.
    + more...

    Im using z11 pro max at home and have a z10 se that i bring with me wherever I go.
    And I kinda like the mytvonline 2 on z10 se better in some ways...

    When I make a copy, favorites and IPTV settings are saved.
    When I get a new internet address from the server, all channel settings in favorites disappear.
    Then I can't copy back because then change the IPTV settings to the old ones.
    Is there any possibility to only be able to make a copy of favorites?

    What a stupid provider. I dont think you can copa/save favs

    When backing up, favorites and IPTV settings are saved.
    When I copied back the backup, I got back favorites and the old IPTV setting.
    Would be great if I had the option to save only favorites.

    I have mentioned this before, providers sometimes have to change urls. the other option would be to allow editing of the backup file.

    Here are a bunch of improvements that whould be great for upcoming versions of MOL!

    1. A setting for how many simultaneous connections each source/portal supports. Make the box respect this setting, and never exceed it! Most IPTV-providers allow only 1 connection per account, and some providers will kick/ban you if you exceed it! But I, as an end-user have no idea how many connections the Formuler box is currently doing to each provider "under the hood". Especially when recording, using PiP, etc. It would feel a lot safer if I can tell the box how many simultaneous connections it's allowed to make, and the box would not have to guess and show non-relevant info/warnings (as it does now when switching channels during recording). It should only warn me if a source allows only 1 connection, and I try to switch channels within that provider during recording. But if the source allows 2 or more connections, or if I'm switching to a channel on another provider, no warning is needed.
                     
    2. Maybe highest prio: We NEED better handling when trying to switch the box off (or put it to sleep) during recording! Right now it just breaks the recording without ANY warning at all. Putting the box to sleep while recordning should only turn off the display, keep recordning, and go to sleep after the recording is finished. The same should happen when CEC is enabled and the box gets a turn-off-message from the TV. Right now, ongoing recordings are immediately cancelled if I just turn my TV off! Obviously, that's quite bad...
                     
    3. In the EGP: Mark channels and programs currently being recorded. E.g. with red dots in the channel name and program name.
                     
    4. Indicate recording status with the LED. E.g. turning it red during recording?
                     
    5. Grid EPG: Enable the "info"-button on the remote to display the full program info on the selected program in a popup-modal. Currently, to see full info if it's truncated, you need to switch to the channel, exit the EPG and press "info" to read it. Full info should somehow be accessible in the EPG, without switching channel. (this is a low hanging fruit, but would be a GREAT improvment I think - I miss it every day when zapping around!!)
                     
    6. Better editing of favorite-lists:
      - When moving a channel up/down, it's currently not possible to use PgUp/PgDown, so moving an item from bottom to top in a long list is very slow. Moving many items takes a very long time.
                     
      - Add possibility to multi-select channels and move them all at once. So i.e. a block of channels could be moved from one place to another. The internal order of the block should be preserved. If the multi-selection contains "holes", it could be squashed into a single block when moving up/down.

      - Option to auto-sort favorites on various properties (channel nbr, alphabetically, time added, etc)
                     
    7. Possibility to save/"record" catchup-content.
      Described in: Record Replay
      So it would simply be a download of:
      http://iptv.net/timeshift/myUs…:20-15/12345.ts
      (10 mins of channel 12345 starting at 20:15 on Feb. 14th)
      And store it in the recording-folder as any other recording
                     
    8. Better playback control in catchup-player. It's currently hard to fast-forward/backward and jump, and hard to see what's happening.
                     
    9. EPG-info about the program seems to be stored with recordings, but I can't find any way to view it when browsing recordings. I'd like that!
                     
    10. Import/export settings to USB, for transferring a setup to another device. Read that is has restrictions due to legal issues, but could you at least export/import as much as possible?
                     
    11. IMDB/TMDB rating and link in the EGP info (if available/possible)
                     
    12. As other have aldready requested: Better customization of subtitle styling and positioning.

    Great effort for improvements,but please note some of your proposals have already been requested in earlier postings:thumbs_up:

    hi

    2 'new' requests:

    - Back-up and restore function: could it be possible to backup different files? Now there's only 1 which is overwritten by each new backup. Therefore I need to manually copy them. Before a restore we than could get the option to choose the backupfile we want.

    - Manual sync. option (which is great btw!): now the sub sync is on the left and the audio sync on the right, and we go automatically to the left sync. Can they be swapped (as I believe far more audio sync is needed than sub sync f I'm not mistaken). Even better would be if a colour (or another) key on the remote control could be programmed to open the sync. menu in MOL3.

    Thanks for the suggestions. We'll look into viable options and see if they can be added in the next release.

    Hi all

    It would be great in MTVOL3 we could choose to memorize or not the last TV channel seen previously before the unit shutdown.
    In order to point in the right files with a Programmable remote.
    I don't know if I'm clear :smiling_face:

    hello

    Short update & addition to my post #267 from June 13, 2024:

    - In content manager: possibility to manual sort/move the providers to other positions (eg move from place 1 to place 2, as for now the order is fix and shown like new providers are added at the bottom).

    - In content manager: to be able to collapse/expand the groups (live tv, vods and series) of certain providers.

    - Audio and subtitle delay: is it possible to change this, so we can keep pushing the RCU instead of having to click x-times for each 50 ms?

    .- I noticed in (earlier) recordings, that there's no audio sync option -> is it possible to implement (which I doubt, but would ask anyway)?

    - In single EPG: possibility to record a program

    Thanks in advance and keep up the good work, highly appreciated!

    I know

    Would be just nice to have it implemented in mol3


    But But But, why would anyone want to do that?? :face_with_open_mouth:

    I guess MOL developers could enable the DLNA video playback but you won't get better image quality and other features than what you get from plex app. You can also create a playlist from your plex media server but i see no point in doing that when Z11 PRO, PRO MAX and even zmini can use plex app or even kodi with plex addons without any issues.

    For example, i'm in MOL3 watching a channel then i click home button in remote and click on plex app/Kodi in less than 10 seconds and watch a movie/tvshow and when i'm finnished return to MOL3 very quickly with the last channel loading quickly. Can't you do that?

    Auto refresh when making connection with startup of mol3.

    Just like mol1 and mol2.


    For people who dont understand iptv and older people its very very difficult. And i think i may say its also for us more work and a little annoying to do this every day. So better with the startup and making a connection with mol3.

    If mol1 and mol2 start, you have direct fresh content and no notification and popup etc.

    Watch direct tv👌🏻

    Place Refresh button in menu. Under recordings or so.

    When we click on it it refresh automatic all portals plus epg and if its done then only one message on screen with "refresh complete.

    So no more click on new content found and click ok to add it.

    Full automatic please like mol2.

    Please add in timeshift/recordings the option jump 10 seconds and 30 seconds.

    The minimum is now 1 minute.

    Its now only availble in vod. Please add It.

    Jump interval options for timeshift in stalker server are limited than XC protocol due to the server structure.

    The minimum buffer loaded on VOD content is smaller, enabling smaller jump intervals. If you find any other player that supports smaller jump interval in stalker timeshift, please don't hesitate to let us know.
