  • hi

    Thanks, great update, especially the 'NEW: Added portal reordering feature' -> big thanks!

    No problems so far, will test further later this evening and report back in case of issues.

  • What do you mean exactly with auto refresh in standby? This was already before i guess? Only thing i miss for now is the F1 calender for 2025 in motorsports section. Please add this in final release. For now the beta works great and some nice new stuff added.

    When the device is in standby mode, the refreshed (or refreshing) content will automatically be applied. This will reduce the hassle of applying the refreshed contents manually through MYTVOnline 3 menu.

    Aha never noticed this before:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Maybe it was simpler to stop the notifications also or put a option for this. Because of daily refresh the message center is full of notifications.

  • What's "portal recording feature"

  • Many have asked about the possibility of being asked when recording that the box should go to standby mode.
    If I set a recording in the evening, the box is on until the next day, completely unnecessarily.
    Maybe it is available in this version?

  • I am glad to see new features which are not related to GameDay. Thanks from non sports affiliated

  • hi

    After startup from standby MOL3 was frozen on a channel (channelinfo was shown on a black screen), never saw this before. Restart with cable was ok, sent logfile 1735717 after restart (but not sure if this will show anything as I only could send if after the restart).

    Note: still the same issues as before: startup after standby mostly ok ; sometimes led red->white->out and pushing on on the RC for about 30 seconds restarts ; sometimes led red->white->out and I have to pull the cable to start up.

  • thanks for response my friend.

    i dont understand that reply


    how can i check if my provider has teletext on a channel?

    Goodday,

    Mostly it are yellow or green text subs with black background or so what i saw years back. And i thought it were like TEXT files.

    Correct me if im wrong.

    Edit: added photo of teletext sub example!

    Unfortunately, the log did not have any viable information.

    If you can reproduce the issue, could you follow the steps below and try extracting logs via USB?

    💡 HOW TO

    1. Download an attached file '_dump_log.zip' to your PC and unzip it. (File should be _dump_log)
    2. Format a USB flash drive as NTFS or FAT32
    3. Copy the _dump_log file(no file extension) to your formatted USB root (without parent folder)
    4. Insert the USB containing the _dump_log folder into your device
    5. Power on your device and reproduce the issue
    6. Wait about 1 minute and remove the USB and connect it to your computer
    7. Message me through chat and attach the newly created log folder on the USB

    Also, please let me know if the issue occurs on a specific channel or all.

  • hi Peter

    Ok, but so far I've only had this problem once, should it occur again I'll try to reproduce.

  • I have one issue with subtitles, now it appears that we can change size, but the normal size is too small and large size too big and before that the default size was "ok" somewhere between the new "normal" and "large".

    And the subtitle positioning option is still missing.


    And now about the app crashing at start, can i make a suggestion? Why there is no option to open the app and don't go straight to the last channel? An option to go to a "home" menu or VOD or Tv shows.

  • When are we going to get a fix on this f/f time shift issue? It's disgraceful how a box of this price. & we cannot ff on any catchup channels! It's very annoying & basically all catchup is useless now! This has been reported months Ago! & should of been fixed by now. What are devs focusing on? When this is a massive issue! Oh as well as the 24hr epg on xcapi WE ALL mentioned about 98 years ago!! Devs are focused on the wrong things in my opinion.

    I believe you when you say that it doesn’t work on your box, however it is and always has been working on my Z11 Pro Max. Also with this Beta.

    I read that you have 3 providers that you experience the same issue with.
    Still it could be a provider related issue because these three (different) providers could be using the same source provider.

    They are only “sub” providers so to speak.

    Try using the MyTVonline3 app on a smartphone with these providers and see if that works. Or try these three providers on another box or use TiVimate and see if that works with your 3 providers to determine if it is your Formuler box that is causing the issue or provider related.

    As said, it works perfectly on my box and all my friends boxes as well.

    Hope you find the root cause soon. 👍

  • Works fine on my app. Also on my Z7 pro. Same providers. Are you & your friends using stalker? It's definitely not a provider issue otherwise i would of got this sorted long ago! It used to work fine. Then after one of the formuler updates. It stopped working. It seems like when one thing gets fixed, another issue arrises 🤦‍♂️ & it's not just mine. Others have reported the same issue with xcapi. So im presuming you are using stalker. Thanks though pal.

    Ok, that is weird indeed. I am using Stalker as well as XCAPI portals, ff while at Catchup works flawlessly on all of them.
    Given what you describe it is either a setting that causes this behavior or a bug that got triggered by the update.

    I guess you did a factory reset and fresh configuration? Any chance you buy a new box and try that one? If the new box works it would prove the bug is in your current box.

    Otherwise there’s not much you can do other than wait and pray for an update and hope that solves the issue. All the best, understand your frustration.

    🙏🏻

  • Hi guys

    Just to be clear: what exactly do you guys mean by the ff fast forward: 1) playing at a speed of eg X2, X5, X1), ... (doesn't function here with XCAPI) or 2) jump for x-seconds (is ok)?

  • Thinking some more, it could also be an internet related issue. Reboot your router and see if that makes any difference.

    Can you try the box at several of your friends home who have fiber internet and see if that makes any difference? Try to eliminate any link in the chain. 🤞

  • With this latest beta, the issue that I experienced with time shift not working when coming out of an extended standby seems to be resolved. Before, I would have to "force stop" MOL3 to get it back working.

    Now, please, please, please figure out how to increase EPG in the guide to 7 days for scheduling recordings.

    Are you referring to FF, or jump?

    Check your Jump Interval setting in catchup.

    Let me know what happens when you set the jump interval to 1 min, and press the right button on your Dpad.

    If you can provide a video that shows the exact issue, it will help us analyze the issue more clearly. You can upload the Image/Video file here: https://streamable.com/ > Upload file > Copy link > Paste the link with your reply.
