    • Some way to get to the error logs from within the interface, especially decoding errors. It's not a good idea to drown the regular user with buttons and options but put in a developer mode or something where that's an option. Right now if something doesn't work I have no clue why.
    • Some way of marking VODs as viewed, both movies, episodes and seasons. Emby, Plex and all the rest have it and it's really a core feature. I'm surprised I haven't seen it mentioned before.
    • Possibility to activate the menu button from anywhere. Right now you have to get out of a VOD and press the back button multiple times before being able to press it.
    • Add an option to keep anything that is playing active when you get into the menu options. This is a minor issue but sometimes you want to hear what's going on when you're in the settings. Perhaps you're doing things while waiting for a program to start?
    • Options for alternate views when browsing VODs. Right now the only option shows one row at a time, which makes scanning material more cumbersome. Again, Plex and Emby can give plenty of inspiration.
    • Better caching of content. It looks like the metadata for a VOD is fetched every time I visit it but perhaps this goes under bugs. Or I'm just wrong.
    • Make the green button open universal search from everywhere. Having it only enabled when in 10% of the interface defeats its purpose.

    I have tried to search for these issues to I hope you'll forgive me for adding something that has been mentioned before.

    + 1 incredible detailed - and actually this should be done in future.

    - Support for Sonos products

    - Enable the main menu from everywhere; for example, when I am in the movie selection screen (right side) then pressing menu button does nothing

    - add an option for disabling autoplay next episode for tv-shows (I always fall asleep while watching)

    Hello!

why is there only auto update of playlists once per day? Tivimate has three times and it covers changes better in one day. would also be better with a button press to be able to update playlists, now it has become more complicated.

Is there any chance you guys can fix it with an update on the box?

    Delete all notifications since it makes no sense to keep all new content and refresh content notifications until eternity, just a waste of memory space.

    Delete all watched movie and TV series history at once, instead of one by one.

    An option to (only) search within adult content. And not retain search string history of searches within adult content.

    Improve the ergonomics of the Manage event screen by positioning the Save and the Cancel buttons at the top of the screen instead of the bottom. In 99% of the time the different fields do not need editing and to press Save I still need to scroll down through all these options. When the Save and Cancel buttons would be positioned at the top, you could just press Save of Cancel and be done, saving the requirement to press down 9 times to reach the bottom and press Save or Cancel.
    Always develop ergonomics based on the most likely/occuring situation/choice.

    There is no way to delete a set reminder/recording once it has been set.

    Only when you create/set a conflicting event you are given the option to delete the conflicting event (which is the last event you added, and can never be the first event selected), and there is no possibility to delete a singe event or in case of a conflict delete both events.

    When there is a conflict because you set two events at thw same time, the menu option is given stating “DELETE ALL” but when you do so you can only delete one event, not both. So the option DELETE ALL makes no sense at all as only 1 of the two events can be deleted…. 😞

    This is a bug and needs to be solved.

    I would like to see a function to play local files ( movies & series ) in the mytvonline3 app.

    I like the mytvonline3 app so much, and now i have to switch to plex or something else to play local video files.

    It would be better to have everything in the mytvonline3 app.

    This has probably been requested before but I'll repeat it again.
    Fast forward should also show the picture so you know where you are?
    Then I want step fast forward.
    One press 2x faster
    Two presses 4x faster
    etc
    Then select the selected recording.
    As it is now, I don't know which channel should be recorded.
    Looking forward to it being changed.

    hello

    I have more than one provider and I create a favorite folder for each one

    when searching for specifiy channel, the tvonline3 will display the list of the channels found in each provider.

    the displayed channel list include those found in favorite folders and those can be easly identified (because I have the star)

    but, when the same channel is found in several providers, nothing tell us in witch provider

    it would be nice to add the provider name in the results

    currently, the only easy way I found to search channel andd add then in related favorite folder is to disable the other providers.

    that a bad solution since, when a provider is disable, scheduled records are lost when enable the provider again.
    this could be another inprovement : do not delete the planning when using enable/disable providers

    and the last one :


    when a channel "xxxx" has a scheduled task and if the provider channel list has changed (new channels, reordering channel list, ...), the scheduled will becomme : record channel "yyyy". Could a solution be found so that channel list changes will not interfere with scheduled tasks or favorites list

    I'm sure I'm not the first one that requests it, but bigger support for m3u playlist that can't be transformed into XC would be the biggest improvement that can be made.

    MOL3 is the most efficient app for iptv but I can only use it when I watch live tv.

    Archive that offers my iptv provider is useless. Because even option for converting playlist into portal doesn't help.

    Why not search better provider? The most of them can all convert a m3u to an xtream.

    Not a problem ever had...

    You can do it yourself also.

    Hi


    Don't know if this thread is still active but I have a request.

    Some way to lock or hide portal information so users can't alter or delete or even be able to view portal URL would be great. From a security point of view. Maybe some kind of administrator option where I can hide such information when I want on certain boxes.

    Perhaps a panel where portal can be set by using a setup code like some other apps can be done. Without having to give out "sensitive" information.


    This would be a great addition.

    1)have a bt remote with back lit capabilities you can turn on/off

    2)game day have favorite section or short cut for your teams not just favorite for league's

    3)ability to manage channel list just like you do for channel groups. Would like the capabilities to remove duplicate channels.

    4)ability to change font size mol3

    5)ability to make apps icon larger

    6)have a licensed Netflix app so I don’t have to toggle to tv.

    Not sure about Z11

    But with Z10 it is Menu, Settings, Parental Options, Menu Lock

    This lock the settings and connections.

    For Z8 and Z10 MyTVonline2 there is such functionality. Haven’t checked if it also works for Z11 MyTVonline3…

    You're not the only one who requests better M3U playlist support. The main issue is that M3U playlists often can't be converted into XC format, limiting usability.

    MOL3 is the best IPTV app for live TV, but the archive and playlist-to-portal conversion features offered by your IPTV provider aren't helpful for you.

    fix this by improving direct M3U playlist compatibility

    PLEASE!

    Option to delete Entire watch history on both VOD and TV Series. Just put a trash can there please. It is so incredibly annoying to have to delete 150 titles one at a time

    A delete option ,like in recordings,where you can assign,the VOD&tvseries to be deleted,would already be a great improvement,whereby you can delete multiple items ,in one go:smiling_face:

    That's why I hope Formuler Team can do something with that so MOL3 can reach and go beyond level of other iptv players availabl on the marke that offers that support for m3u url like this.

    I second this. Others that have replied may or may not understand exactly what is being requested here but.

    If users have a provider box, and the provider offers 2 or more portals to choose from (one for live tv and one for VOD for example). If the portals are created via MAC ID, users already have to navigate to content sources in order to change portals for their preferred use. On this screen, there is a significant amount of Portal details and information readily available. Even if some of this information is censored, from a security perspective, as well as a user experience/brand image perspective, it would be beneficial to be able to hide the information on this screen in favor of a wallpaper, or a different design for portal selection, more similar to what it would look like to select an app or similar.

    Providers can reach out to the Formuler team for the solution to this. It is possible!

    - HOTKEY PORTALS FOR SEAMLESS SWITCHING. The ability to hotkey directly to Content Sources for fast and easy portal switching. Because I have 2 Stalker portals added by the same Provider, I can only have one active at a time and can't take advantage of MOL3's new feature of running them both actively. It is very tedious and many button clicks to swap back and forth, and can be confusing more many older, or less tech savvy individuals.

    - Option to remove Live, VOD, or Tv Series buttons from menu on respective portals. I have 2 separate portals from the same Provider, one for Live TV, and one for VOD/Series, both Stalker protocol. Interestingly, if I hide all the 24/7 groups included on the Live TV section of the VOD portal, the play screen will default to an all black screen with the side menu always open, and Live TV button has been automatically removed. However, the Live TV portal has no VOD or TV Series groups, yet both options still exist on the side menu when in the Live TV Portal. Being able to remove those two options manually will reduce a lot of confusion for people like my 74 year old father about what portal he is in and what is available.

    - VERY POWERFUL FEATURE "Similar to" option that can be selected when previewing a Movie/Show Title. Example, you are clicking through your history, and find a movie you enjoyed, being able to click that title, and then select "Similar Movies" from the preview menu.

    - Option to re-order the MOL3 menu list

    - Move the universal search button in VOD/TV series from the top right corner inside a group to the top of the sidebar outside of groups, above favorites/newly added/history

    - Create multiple Favorites lists for VOD/TV Series in Content Manager. I have a ton of Series in my favorites, being able to separate them by genre/type would be incredibly useful

    - Option to sort favorites, so we can move most viewed/liked to the front of the list manually

    - Delete all, or group delete history. Anything so that we don't have to delete them one at a time.

    - Auto hide groups that have nothing in them

    - Filter options for favorites folder(s)

    - Predictive real time search results, eliminating the need to type out entire titles

    - Search VOD/TV Series by actor

    - Showing Favorites lists on the home screen for Live, VOD, and TV series even if they are split between two Stalker Portals. As of now it will only show the one that corresponds with whichever portal i was connected to when I exited to the main menu

    - Option to schedule routine clearing the cache same as content refresh/hotkey clear cache

    Is that everything? Haha :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

    Dear developers, please reconsider the idea of generating playlists m3u bouquets of channels in MOL2/3 and for the workability of archived TV programs, in playlists where the parameter is specified...

    catchup-template="{stream-url}?utc={utc}"  catchup-enable="1" catchup-time="691200"

    I gave myself 2 months to play with it and take notes before sharing lol. While long, I do believe that all the items I listed have real merit though, wouldn't you agree?

    I use multiple (3) stalker portals from the same provider and they are loaded and active simultaneously without any issue. Not sure what issues you are experiencing with that.

    Stay Tune,Return after the EPG LOAD! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

    Nvidia...Tivimate...good choice!

    it was most likely added already...

    LED Indicator light brightness level on/off

    "Exit" button on remote or maybe make it possible to add it to a "hotkey"

    Clicking on "Home" on the app doesn't close the app down

    Quote from Marchella

    one more request.

    to make it possible for MOL2/3 to pick up EPG from the playlist itself, if there is a link in the playlist itself.

    #EXTM3U url-tvg="http://epg.blabla.net/epg.xml.gz"

    Tivimate has this feature.

    - Remove the red line when i setup a record or reminder.

    - Add RED POINT or RED SQUARE like mol2 when i setup a record!

    - Thks for speed "add" in favorite!

    Stay Tune,Return after the EPG LOAD! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

    Nvidia...Tivimate...good choice!

    Hello Guys

    I want to thank you the whole team to have finally released MOL+ on iOS devices, that was a long time we were waiting for.

    But now my request, it will be great (the cherry on the cake !) if we can also have it on MacOs computers :smiling_face_with_heart_eyes:

    Since the latest versions of macOS we have the option to install app « only for iPhone / iPad » on Mac computers but MOL+ is not present in the list on the Mac AppStore :loudly_crying_face:
