    So,problem solved?:winking_face:

  • A side question, the topic name says Firmware v. 11.3.0 BETA but i did the 11.3.1 BETA update, anyone else?

    Yes,i also updated to 11.3.1 BETA,although it wasnt announced on Forum!

  • Since today, each time I launch mol3, i've got pop saying my iptv sub will expire in 7 days
    Dont remember before, is it a normal use have this popup each time when mol3 is launched?
    Is there anyway to disable it?

    Same here,one of my providers is about to expire 08/06/24,igot the same message as you,and above that in Content Manager this Provider is highlighted by yellow colouring.

    Have no idea how to disable it!

  • Anyone found where the power control has gone.

    before if you had to do a reset just needed to scroll down the briliant home page to the power button and select restart, but not with this rubbish new design, I want the old design back.

    Simpler, on the remote, long-press the power button (the top right one) and choose one of the three options on the pop-up screen that appears. On the screen, waaaay more complicated than before, navigate to the settings menu, press right arrow button to go to the second page and you’ll find the menu there.

    This is a new feature to beta. Can’t disable it I don’t believe.

    how does it perform on screen?

    Is it persistent when watching something for example?

  • Another thing i've noticed on this beta is when you update content manually and then go back to live while it's refreshing it will pop up a refresh channels notification when done covering the entire screen, that doesn't happen in the automatic content update, thankfully.

    I guess it’s persistent onscreen so you don’t have to then press menu button and refresh like before?

    If you’re manually refreshing then the aim is to do that as quickly as possible so if it’s onscreen you’re going to complete the refresh anyway otherwise what’s the point manually refreshing and then finishing it later?

    It’s a good useful feature I think. Suppose as long as it’s not on your screen when watching tv etc and it’s only present in content manager or is a simple pop up, it’s great I’d think.

    Not experienced it myself so don’t know where it pops up etc or if it stays on screen so my comments above are based on “if” it’s not persistent onscreen.


    Hope that made sense?

    Seem like dont have anymore this popup , i made many launch with this popup, it's good to know to have this kind of information, maybe reduce the number of times it appears on the screen

    I think you overlooked something in the message;it says "next reminder in 4 days" so in your case you can expect the same message,not every day when starting mol3,but in 4 days of you last expiry warning,should be on 05/06/24 ?

  • henkie The hidden part is obviously the provider's name LOL


    adrilang Not exactly but i understand what you mean :winking_face:

    That was not i was referring too,LOL

  • Tbh i think this messages/warnings are pointless at least in my case as i have auto-renewal, so i think it's a pointless warning, but as it could be helpful to some i would ask for an option in settings to disable these notifications.

  • With rufus tools, (formating in ntfs), now backup goes to sd card 👌

    I follow this tutorial : How to format Micro SD card, USB flash drive, pen drive, hard drive or SSD for use with Z and S Boxes.

    Guys this doesn't resolve the full issue. There obviously is a new issue with SD cards. There is a problem where you can't pause anymore and I've seen several people which didn't have the problem before. And switching to USB is a work around and not a fix. Next to remarks like switch to USB , problem solved, which are useless. This is looking away from problems , not solving them. there are more issues regarding sd which weren't there before. I paid serious money to get the fastest Samsung micro sd which I'm not intended to throw away. I've formatted to NTFS and that didn't resolve the issue, I've tried several SD cards and all have the same issue. Tried several file systems and none of them worked. It's not just the backup , you can't use anything on a sd card, pausing, rewinding doesn't work. Recording seems to be working (maybe this is a thing to investigate, i.e whats the difference between the 2 files). If new bugs occur which weren't there before, no problem, that's the reason for trying a new beta versions and helping solving the issue. But the no 1 intention form a business/devs perspective should be fixing and not work-arounds.

  • Thanks Peter! Maybe it's a good idea to put those bullets on the first page of this thread as acknowledged issues , that way you guys don't need to answer the same questions all the time, is that a good idea?😜

    Yeah I mentioned this on page 1 in this thread, hope they see it and fix it..

  • Can you explain the reason to have a popup when manually refreshing through content manager? When manually refreshing there (far to deep in the menus), there shouldn't be any reason for more confirmation that you want to update.

    Bring Back the Refresh button from Mytvonline2 menu instead 👍🏻

    Content updates in MOL3 are pre-staged (in the background) before being applied to the live lists the user sees and interacts with. This is the reason the confirmation popup must exist.

    It was implemented this way for various reasons. Alternatives were considered but the current UX was determined to be the best.

    Moving the manual refresh button closer to the surface may be considered in a future update roadmap.

  • hi

    Just got a Z11 PM crash, same as: RE: Official Firmware 11.2.12 and MOL3 11.2.37 update for Formuler Z11 Series released. - I believe this is the first time in a few months (so I won't do a hard reset yet).

    After restarting MOL3, I got kicked out directly to the home menu (first time this happened since this beta - happened frequently before).

    Just sent log 0000001735717 again.

    Formuler Z11 Pro Max - XC API Portal - Mol3 (standard and occasional TiviMate as backup) - External HDD Toshiba 1 TB (usb 3.0) - Nord VPN

  • Hi,ihad similarproblems,they were solved by setting epg update interval to 3 hours.

    Read post#3 in thread"No automatic epg update"

    Content Manager>your sub>edit>set epg frequency to 3 hour

  • I noticed in my DVR settings my storage device was crossed out (a line through it) had to re-select storage

    Yes,i had to do this as well,after beta update.ie. reselecting storage device,probably the cause of failed recording!

    Tnx for answering.

    Might just be me but that sound like its doable to make the background refresh to be applied without the confirmation box. Just apply the real refresh automatic after the first refresh is done. And yes this on a button that isn't deep down in the menu, or on Mytvonline 4 or something so we need to buy a new box to get a logical refresh button..

  • Not a bug
    I use my nvidia Shield as a NAS, i connect SSD disk drive and enable storage network on this hard drive
    Storage location has changes with recording with NAS ?
    Previously recording files was stored in "\\IP adress\storage\Android\data\tv.formuler.mol3.real\files...."
    Now recording files are stored on their own directory :\\IP adress\storage\Recordings\
