  • Hi guys

    Results of a short test (some text copied of my earlier beta test):

    - Still not possible to sort providers (I believe SAM wrote earlier this would be implemented, but this still isn't possible). To be clear: I mean manually sorting the order of my providers (in the content manager), so now it's provider a, b, c and d. I want to change the order to eg: c, a, b and d. Will this come later (important for me)? Little addition: it would also be nice to be able to collapse/expand the groups (live tv, vods and series) of certain providers.

    - Very nice update (especially the sync. audio & subs) -> works perfect on vods and series, but if I change the audio delay in live tv, the (fixed - hard-coded) subtitles are automatically changed with the same delay.

    - Audio and subtitle delay: is it possible to change this, so we can keep pushing the RCU instead of having to click x-times for each 50 ms?

    - Manual sync. option: now the sub sync is on the left and the audio sync on the right, and we go automatically to the left sync. Can they be swapped (as I believe far more audio sync is needed than sub sync f I'm not mistaken). Even better would be if a colour (or another) key on the remote control could be programmed to open the sync. menu in MOL3.

    - I noticed in (earlier) recordings, that there's no audio sync option -> is it possible to implement (which I doubt, but would ask anyway)?


    Older oustanding issues:

    - in single EPG: possibility to record a program

    - no changements noticed in EPG: some providers ok for about 4 days, some only 24h

    - I didn't record from EPG yet

    Best regards

    Never told that, so please show me the post? Order is shown like you include new providers.

  • hi SAM

    I believe we miscommunicated here a bit and I may have misunderstood you here:

    RE: MOL3 Features or MOL3 & ZMini Chipset Only (post 2)

    RE: 2 playlists (post 3, ok not 100% clear what was meant)

    I don' want to mess things up, but also (from german forum):

    https://de.formuler-support.tv/forum/thread/6…42067#post42067 (posts 5 & 6).

    So, real manual portal sorting won't be implemented in the (near) future?

    Best regards

  • Update done.

    Glad to see 23,976fps is back :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

    I think all things are working fine (need more time to test). Didn't even need to do a factory reset for problems to get fix. Only thing i miss is that option to choose subtitle background transparency inside of MOL3 which i'm sure i saw in one of the BETA updates but it was removed quickly.

  • Connecting VPN still breaks network share mounts first time after reboot.
    So I always need to manually re-mount my NAS share after I started my VPN after reboot.
    Note that this issue only happens once after rebooting the Fomuler.
    Disconnecting/reconnecting the VPN after manually re-mounting the share does not break it.

    I believe we miscommunicated here a bit and I may have misunderstood you here:

    Good possible, but i never wrote extra that the provider lists can be moved from place 1 to place 2. Providers are now sorted, all categorys are clear visible where they belong.

  • Hi
    Still have NAS disconnect issue as I already mentionned on beta (cannnot anymore disconnect network storage)
    Already made factory reset on beta and now on final release
    Am I the only one?

    Please forget my request, i found it

    I need before uncheck "Reconnect on statup" then reboot box and then i can unmount or delete my network storage

    Not sure it's a normal behavior?

    if I change the audio delay in live tv, the (fixed - hard-coded) subtitles are automatically changed with the same delay.

    I may be misunderstanding the issue report, but how do you propose the subtitle timing be changed if the hard-subs are burned into the video track?

    is it possible to change this, so we can keep pushing the RCU instead of having to click x-times for each 50 ms?

    This will be checked on. However, don't you think a better solution is to get your content provider to fix the (large) sync errors at the source?

    Can they be swapped (as I believe far more audio sync is needed than sub sync f I'm not mistaken).

    This will also be checked. However as previously asked, why do you need to adjust the sync so frequently? It seems like your content provider has some bigger issues to address.

    I noticed in (earlier) recordings, that there's no audio sync option -> is it possible to implement

    Will check this as well.


    Disclaimer: "Checking" on something doesn't mean it will be implemented/fixed. It means the request will be analyzed and considered.

    hi

    Thanks for your reaction, here some answers, on:

    1) I don't need the subtitle changed, that's the strange point. I only want the audio offset, but then also the subtitles get an offset. For info: I had a little conversations about this with F_Peter (end of May).

    2) On the vods & series where my providers offer the subtitles there's mostly not a problem. The large sync. is (for subtitles) is often needed when I dowload a subtitle from opensubtitles.

    3) In my case: Audio sync is not that much needed (see above: mostly after downloading a sub from opensubtitles), but the audio sync is needed in about 50% of the vods and series. This due to the problem with my setup/receiver, and when the audio is AAC (5.1) I always need an audio-offset of 300 ms. Therefore having the audio-offset in the left would be nice. Will this also be checked: Even better would be if a colour (or another) key on the remote control could be programmed to open the sync. menu in MOL3.?

    4) :thumbs_up:

  • Just wanted to say Good Job to Formuler Devs. This update is the best update I've seen so far. Any bug or annoyance I had with the Z11 Pro Max seems to have been corrected in this version and is now working great. It's been a few days now that installed this version and not one issue for me. Thanks again Formuler.

  • hello

    After startup from standby MOL3 started up in the search screen, after a few seconds I get kicked out MOL3 to the home screen.

    Sent logfile 1735717 about half an hour ago.

    PS: Old recordings still working fine, also tested some new recordings an they were all ok.

  • Got my z11 pro max bt1 yesterday.

    Did the update.

    Directly factory reset after the update and no problem yet.

    Hi ,Lucky133

    why did you do a factory reset,directly after the update?

  • Are you on MAC or XC connection?

    You can try to set epg update interval to 3 hours,in most cases this helps.

  • Can anyone help with z11 pro max epg keeps disappearing i have installed latest update and still have the issue only way to get it back is to clear and update epg via content manager

    if you're on Mac, try setting the EPG to alternate instead of standard

  • Try reinstall MOL3 from Formuler market.

  • You reccomend doing backup of MyTVonline before doing up date but....

    The Backup is no longer in my menu options. I remember seeing it in the past but it disappeared.

    What do you advise?

    You can find it in: mol3 Settings.

    Start Mytvonline3, then:

    Menu, Settings, options for backup.


    If it inst there, yes then uninstall and reinstall it.

    If not, then factory reset. But its there! I've found it myself.

  • I did the update without incident on my two Z11 boxes. However, the next scheduled recording failed. Upon investigation, in Settings, DVR Settings, the timeshift and recordings storage device names were stricken out. When I chose a new storage device it presented me with the name of the previously existing one. I selected it and all is well with recordings and time shifting again. It is as if the Android update did a re-enumeration of storage devices and gave them new system names. Something to look at for the next release.

  • Since the last update on July 1, 2024 of MyTVOnline 3- on the Formuler 11 Pro Max - if I leave the box on a channel and close the TV screen to record something, when I leave - when I reopen the TV - I can't wake the box from its sleep to see anything on the TV - just a black screen - I have to turn off the box and reopen it to see anything again.

    Before this update, I used to press the VoD or live button on the remote and it would wake up, but now there's no way except to switch it off and on again. I'm afraid that if I keep restarting 11 Pro Max without being able to switch it off properly, it will damage my box.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem can be solved, as I don't want to:1) leave the machine on all day or 2) leave my TV on all day.

    What color is the LED on your Formuler device when you turn off the TV screen?

    Also, please check 'Home screen > Settings > HDMI CEC' and see if HDMI control is enabled.
