  • Did the update,first impression epg under guide button, 1 day ahead and one day back (XC),under previous update i had epg 4-5 days ahead and 1 day back,then no information!

  • hi guys

    First impression after short test:

    - EPG still not improved (some provider ok for a few days back and a few days forward, some provider only 1 day back and 1 day forward, some provider no EPG at all). Provider with offset -2 hours, still: Guide-EPG ok and single_EPG 2 hours behind. Did clear and refresh EPG.

    - IMDB: no improvements, only now on the provider where all was ok, there are no pics on the cast on series (but ok on movies) ; other provider: nothing (movies & vods) ; other provider: only short info (so no image, preview, media, cast).

    The following issues still haven't been fixed on this beta:

    - 404 error (losing connection of a provider after manual content update) (imho started with earlier beta)

    - Sound issue (after a few seconds: out of sync. of 0,3 seconds on certain channels, vods and series) with Dolby 5.1

    I'm pleased there are still improvements, and hopefully the issues above can be fixed shortly.

    Formuler Z11 Pro Max - XC API Portal - Mol3 (standard and occasional TiviMate as backup in case of audiosync problems) - External HDD Toshiba 1 TB (usb 3.0)

  • clear the epg data, cache and do refresh

    after big changes sometimes you have to do that to resolve data issues.

    Did as you suggested,i still have only 24 hours back and 24 hours ahead of epg under the guide button.

    Note worthy the single view epg has increased to 8 days. :winking_face:

    After new update my box changes menu language every time i reboot to portugise

    Settings -> HDMI CEC -> Auto change Language, turn off.

  • If anyone is interested, yesterday i've updated (did backup before -Thank god), then opened mol3 and every channel was in replay mode after 1 min or so, refreshed portal, content update, epg update and same behavior. Then when night football matches were in half- time i very quickly reset everything, started from scratch, installed every app - MOL3 included (yes, needed to go to software update, insert 1339 again and install BETA MOL3, otherwise it would install old version), vpn included, disabled DNS in formuler settings, chose open vpn UDP mode, restored backup in MOL3, updated content and EPG data and things got stable, no network errors last night. Will test more this entire afternoon, specially at night because that's when sh#t starts...LOL

    what does football have to do with this then I don't quite understand that please explain

  • Also my EPG is not working properly but this is at this moment mainly on the provider site.

    They are doing a huge update and therfore EPG can be different everyday.

    They have been working on it for a week now and still working on it.

    Just want to point out that it is important to have contact with the provider site before jumping conclusions testing the new beta release.

    Maybe this is of help when solving your personal EPG issues.

  • Unbelievable. Exact same problem with guide epg being 24hrs 🤦‍♂️ no change & STILL no Record & remind function back in single epg which i think virtually every single person was asking back! If that wasn’t taken off then we wouldn’t have this 24hr guide epg problem because we still could use the 7 day single epg guide to set timer/future recordings. So yet still another long wait until maybe these (2) big issues get a fix. If ever.

    Some important INFO. My language was set on system in Mytvonline3 so everything was in french. I had to switch to english language to find the ALTERNATE option in EPG.

    What Language was set in the Android Settings?

    Do you mean the menu was not visible until you changed the language to english?

    Please re-describe the issue so it is easier to understand.

    It’s not a fix exactly but have you considered using the likes of IPTVEditor? I use it as I’m quite OCD and need my channels hoe I want them but they also have far better epg than providers tend to have (7-10 days for like all channels). Anyway, to my point, I have no issues when adding my portal from IPTVEDITOR. I have a full week of EPG as show in the image.

    Did you change to Alternate EPG mode?

  • Language was set on "system" which, as far as i understood the settings, refers to my android settings as to say French language. I never changed it. It's only to better find another setting that I switched MyTvonline3 language to english. Looking at my portal settings I found the alternate mode in EPG. This mode didn't show when my settings were in French.

    How do i do that please buddy? Been through settings?

    MOL3 Menu -> Content Manager -> Content Sources -> Your Stalker Portal -> EPG Mode -> Change from Default to Alternate and set offset.

    Hi pal. I figured that out. But it will not give you a option to change the epg to alternate on xcapi! 🤦‍♂️ seems like that’s only a option on stalker! Thankyou.

    Only for Stalker Protocol.

  • Menu MOL3 -> Gestionnaire de contenu -> Sources de contenu -> Votre portail Stalker -> Mode EPG -> Passer de Par défaut à Alternatif et définir le décalage.

    Uniquement pour le protocole Stalker.

    hello it is a temporary solution or it is necessary to define this parameter for those which use the activation by mac address?

    • Official Post

    If Stalker in use, you should change to Alternate EPG Method.

  • Upgraded from previous beta to this one. Using alternate guide, populated at least 72 hours in advance, working very well. My issues have been audio related but I'm convinced its something with my Denon receiver. Thanks for this release !

    Factory reset and since beta installed you need again to install beta Mol3 and not the mol3 from Market!

  • Better improvement over previous beta update using alternate epg but search function from live tv still doesnt work very good, ie: can't find any tv series or in vod doesnt find many tv series or movies. Anyone else having these issues ? Also the EPG now works much better with 3 days prior / after listings and plays easily with timeshift. Like i said better improvement but work still to do on the "Search Functions" .
