    On MOL3 you can use "Universal Search" for all areas (TV channels, TV programs, VOD, Series, etc.) in one central place. Please check the pictures.

    1. Universal Search from TV Channel:


    2. Search from VOD, shows also Universal Search:

    oh i know. but just a pain as wife was going through vod tv series to see what was on there and decided to look for specific show, so have to back out as universal search doesn't work once you scroll down past first row in any category

    Which protocol is in use, with xc api and stalker i do not see any issues in search? Try to change to other protocol and create new portal.

    add the portals after updated to beta

    and as i said can search the vod as search option is on upper right of screen but only when when you first enter a category. soon as you move down a row that goes off screen and can't search unless go all the way back up

    The search is not as good as the old search. Why can't I now choose ALL (as on MYTVOL2)? How do I search for a movie with a car on the poster?? I don't know the title.

    Hi team,

    I have noticed that there are updates more than once a day. Especially since I've got several subs.

    But in settings I can only find the possibility to set updates to once every 24 hour.

    Is it possible to extend that in a future update to 2 or even 3 times a day.

    That would help me a lot. Because I've noticed it is neccesary. And I have to do it manually. Which is tedious and doesn't sit well while I'm supposed to record something...

    Thaks a lot

    If you want to universal search from live tv simply have any live channel onscreen and press green button on your remote control.

    To consider “All” category in Movies and Series, simply open the “Newly Added” option and search from there. Universal search will go search all categories anyway

    There is one caviat with the universal search, in most cases it needs to be text specific so the spelling must be correct for it to locate the title.

    Also with reference to the comment in the above posts, if you don’t know the title then you are correct, having no “all” category makes browsing limited if you don’t know what section your show is held. There is no workaround for this.

    1-I understand what they all say, and it disturbs me also a lot, it's really not as intuitive and easy to find the loop when you enter in the VOD. Before in MOL2 you made simply: All, and OK then you saw the loop,

    Now in MOL3 when entering in the VOD you land on "Favorite" but , if you don't have anything in the category "Favorite", and in "History", you can click "ok" , or try right arrow or left arrow or up.. as many times as you want, you cannot find the loop.. instead.. it's tedious to go down 2 or 3 times to a category or to Newly Added.. then move arrow to the right.. then move arrow up. 'it requires at least 4 press of a button if you are not wrong..

    I strongly suggest to ADD A LOOP in the left menu, directly VISIBLE on Top of Favorite. Then problem solved.

    2- The search is maybe universal, which is a good thing, but contrarily to MOL2 where the search was dynamic and automatic since the 1st or the 2nd caracter typed narrowing the search while typing, which was very fast and useful, here in MOL3, it is not "dynamic", in other words it was simultaneous while you were typing..but here not ! You are forced to write all the title or name then exit the Keyboard and try a search...and maybe you wrote wrong so you need to start your search from the beginning.. in MOL2, u could just add a space, or delete/add 1 letter.. then you found automatically.

    The fact that it is not dynamic (search in real time) is also a big step backwards when comparing speed and easy way of similar dynamic search in MOL2.
