    OK, now I'm getting a little annoyed. I did a backup, then a factory reset, after the reset I did the update to .22, and when I try to do a restore, it goes to 20% and then I get a black screen and nothing. I then pulled the power and disconnected everything for 10 minutes, same result.

    Recording is not working properly.

    If I have recorded, for example, a film that is approx. 1.5 hours long, everything seems OK

    until I watch the recording.

    When fast-forwarding, it jumps back to the beginning and the film length changes to approx. 30 min or 40 min.

    Then the playback locks at different times.

    Then it happened that I got two recordings. (duplicates)

    Then tried to delete one and then both disappeared.

    I didn't have this error before.

    Older recordings before update work properly so the recording must be wrong.

    Recordings go into complete meltdown whenever I record anything pal. I have nothing but trouble. I record a 2/3 hour show. Wake up in the morning. The box has switched to home screen & it shows the recording has recorded for 14 mins!! But it really hasn't. It has recorded the show but crashes/goes to the beginning or just stops when you try to rw or ff. That's on xcapi & stalker. It's been mentioned many times. It does sometimes work with a 1 hour recording as such. Seems like the only things that get a fix are the little things I've actually never noticed wrong. Massive urgent issue is epg! About every single person that owns a Z11 has mentioned about the epg! We have all asked for record/remind function back in single epg! We would have no epg problems if that didn't get removed. Because that has 7 Days epg. & So much better recording off the single epg. But Been waiting almost a year. To no Avail.

    Recording is fine on my end... I can change viewing channels at will and recording still get's to the end without issues...

    But in hdd folder it's a party of files, almost 78 recording files for a recording, most of them 20Mb each. It's fine when you watch it on MOL, but i can't join them in one file to put it on my library and watch anywhere i want...

    you mean that i have to disconnect the hard drive or usb with film from the form and work in windows... you aren't serious

    Yes, MOL3 recordings are done to be only compatible with MOL3, i'm not sure Kodi will open the files, even the .m3u8 file that is in the android recording folder inside hdd. So, you either connect your usb hdd to a computer and do the work, meaning, join files with ffpmpeg or whatever and get a mkv file of the entire recording or just record directly through LAN to a shared hdd in windows, then recording files are already there and do the join... Use your imagination!!

    And don't tell me you don't know how to do it because there is thousands of youtube videos and tutorials in forums explaining how to do this stuff, instead tell me you're lazy and bought this box so everything is done for you...

    Tbh i used to try to record with several other iptv players like tivimate and i find MOL3 much better, recordings are done without errors, recorded 7 matches this weekend and 6 of them were 100% free or errors, only one was fucked up because channel was with network error. That's what's needs to be solved, this random network errors that only happen on MOL3, meaning tivimate on other boxes are fine, same vpn though!! So this is a formuler or MOL3 issue...

    And this network errors are completly weird, they come up in a channel, then you change to another and return to the same and it works again, other times when you're in the channel giving network error if you go to the catch-up menu you can see everything , even the live event, so portal is ok, server is ok, MOL3 is bugged!!

    you did not understand me ..
    It's about the fact that I want to look at "ts" recordings of formuler in the local network in other rooms, for example with Kodi. That doesn't work there
    1. samba cannot be installed with formuler z11 2. I cannot copy the "ts" file directly using x-plorer because the file is not visible

    Attention: I don't want to take out USB or HD !! with 1GB LAN you don't need it, I thought

    You can't because Android 11 has some weird file permissions off by default and you can only enable them if the android firmware has some kind of file explorer application by default that can unlock those file permissions...

    You really need to connect your usb HDD to a computer to unlock those files, then join .ts files with ffmpeg ( google it ) and put the joined file in a new folder and share it over lan.

    Now, you say lan is 1GB right, so that means you have probably a computer somewhere on your LAN? If yes, why don't you record directly to an HDD folder in your main computer, then share it over lan...

    I have it recording to a windows share over lan, but it can be nvidia shield for example, connecting a usb hdd to nvidia shield and then share it over lan, then in formuler just add new storage -> nvidia shield and you can record to nvidia shield usb hdd and it will be visible as nvidia shield doesn't have permission problems...I say nvidia shield but it can be any other android box or even TV that doesn't have those Android 11 file permission issues...

    For now you just need to be creative...

    I'm not alone in the house...reuter has a lot to do...I didn't want to unnecessarily burden my NETZ with formal recordings...
    but I will test it in spite of it...because there is no other way..thank you

    so don't plug anything into formuler android 11
    understood thanks

    @11pronomax..Record path changed to NAS server in house network.. now I can see and move everything.. edit thanks. .. i hate android version 11..thank you again

    Yes, Android 11 is devil, but nvidia shield devs found a way...either their way or root. Android 12 is also fucked up but they unlocked those files and folders in adb, so with adb you can copy and move everything to data folder in Android 12...

    An older problem has returned with the latest update 2023. Now when I watch a movie or something on my Z11 and I switch back to my TV SamSung Qled 6585a. the sound is gone. I still only get my system sounds from the TV. I have to unplug the power from my TV before I can get sound again. I have my sound switched via HDMI (AVR). It is reproducible. Something is going wrong with resetting the HDMI channel it seems. The problem existed in an earlier version as well.

    I did a factory reset and didn't update and I don't have the problem now. I'm afraid if I do an update again I will have the problem again. I hope someone can help me

    Have used NordVPN and it works fine.

    Now some channels disappeared so I changed the connection to another country.
    Worked again.
    Switched to my home country and then no channels and VOD worked.
    Got the error message 456.
    How do I fix this?
    Not using the latest beta version.
