    To be honest you can get url from most shitty branded apps these suppliers use.

    Either that or sniff url via a query log.

    Providers say it's "security" yet you can get url via just using mx player for a stream and locate via properties.

    Not a risk, hackers know how to get urls for all.

    Its just lazyness as they don't need any support, its just download this app and add credentials.

    Hi folks, first post on this forum so apologies if I'm doing anything wrong.

    I got a Z11 promax about 2 weeks ago and so far I'm loving it.

    One issue tho, I was able to pause/rewind live TV on the MYTVOnline app but somehow it's just disappeared, if I hit pause, nothing happens, I can't seem to change the player for live TV so I don't know if it was something I did or maybe an update took it away?

    Anybody know what could be wrong?

    Thanks.

    Add storage and turn on timeshift in settings within mol3.

    Thanks.

    The GPU looks significantly more powerful.

    But the CPU looks pretty much the same?

    Would I notice a significant improvement performance wise with the Z11 pro max, or is it just a marginal upgrade.

    Are you happy with your z10?

    If so there is no need to upgrade.

    But then again it’s all subjective and only way to ever know if it’s worth is testing and using yourself. (This goes for every thing)

    Just a short question.

    Which App works best with Z11promax?

    Ive tried Smarters Pro, but it was a terrible GUI. Not userfriendly at all. No way to customise it.

    Any ideas ? Thanks in advance...

    The app that people buy Formuler for.

    MOL (MyTV Online) which is the pre built in IPTV app, but as a backup app I would use tivimate premium over things like Smarter's or rebrands of that.

    Is it also possible if you connect an external storage to the Formuler Z11 Pro Max to start a TV program from the beginning? And if so, how do I do that? I have connected a 2 TB external HDD.Is it also possible if you connect an external storage to the Formuler Z11 Pro Max to start a TV program from the beginning? And if so, how do I do that?

    You can add external storage, turn on "timeshift" in settings and this will allow to remind back content since you went on the channel.

    Cloud timeshift is different where if provider has catch up on certain channels., you can press play on that channel in channel list to start program from start.

    Hi guys Z8 & Z8 pro had a feature with the green button that make it possible to set up a reminder for a Live Tv broadcast. Formuler will switch over to the programmed channel when it starts. Z 11 pro max green button is now wishlist where can I find the reminder button for scheduling a Live Tv broadcast from the EPG?

    Hold OK button on program you want to add a reminder then release and you have an option menu pop up to "add to watch list" , "set reminder" and "set recording"

    You can also add to watchlist and then see in schedule and then add as reminder.

    All fine danny and full understandable, but... we should also give Formuler enough time to consider all reported in this last 3 weeks, it is very much! I can see and read it each day.

    Bugs have currently prio1 (they always did), then the devs. can consider the requests and i think this should be also understandable. Some options, future adds, fixes and code changes must match with each other and point to the final picture from the devs, of course also with some included requests (not everything go hand in hand or can be included). Let us await next few updates and see how the changes look like. This is nothing that can be done in few weeks and some impatient will return their boxes, but this was always the case with each Generation.

    About postings or answers in chats, be sure this are not always final words because the devs. can change their mind, it must only match with the final picture.

    I agree, 100% with this.

    Why so pessimistic? It was requested and still in discussion, maybe not collapsible but with some other solution in future. Formuler do not want to copy others, they want to implement new way of watching and in this game should "universal search" (reaching all active subs. at once, no matter if vod, series or tv channels in one window and without using channel list is one way) get bigger roll. I know it is always hard to accept big changes, espc. if you like the old one but also new stuff and the logic behind are not always bad and should get a chance.


    I am not being pessimistic, I was merely relaying what I was told regarding collapsible providers in a chat and via discord.

    I mean I was actually pro active showing comparison videos in previous tester chats to try and show functionality improvements that I felt would help, pushed for this feature but it was rejected so was just relaying that. Once told it wont happen I left pushing for a change.

    They they all know it has zero relevance for myself as individual, it can easily be navigated and I use it daily, that request was purely based on what I felt was an oversight when released.

    Hence the "hint" sheet I collated here in nothing but positivity.

    Formuler z11 Hints / Quick menus

    Do you have an update on this please.

    I really don't want to return this box, but the multi sub option as one huge list is just impossible to work with.

    Can you advise on when this will be fixed?

    I requested collapsable providers / placeholder so we can see what provider is what when scrolling channel list, but it was rejected.

    Hopefully in the future updates they do implement something like this.

    Made this little newbie Z11 hint sheet, I feel it has some basics covered and hopefully a help to someone at least.

    Feel free to remove or use.

    But what would be great is if users who also have z11 then add some things they use / feel will benefit other users in comments below.

    Formuler z11 newbie hint sheet

    1. All portal’s, m3us and providers are connected, to switch provider you just scroll the channel list, the providers are not named when in channel list so if any confusion when viewing an actual channel press info and you can provider on top right.


    2. Set up an interval to repopulate epgs, i.e I have mine at 5am.

    Menu - content manager - data sync - auto update settings (manual refresh of epg and contents is here also)

    3. Manage groups / pin groups / manage favourites and such like

    Menu - content manager - manage groups / favs

    4. Quick refresh of content

    Menu - refresh contents

    5. Universal Search (fantastic new feature, use it)

    When watching a channel, press green button, search a channel, a program, a film etc.

    6. To Turn on time shift

    Menu - settings -DVR options - toggle on time shift (need storage attached which you can set location when in this section)

    7. To turn on AFR (Auto Frame Rate)

    Menu - settings - Player Options - toggle on what you wish.

    - External vod player option is there also

    8. Vod / Series and using multi provider.

    If can see what the provider is on category, then when go on a section, provider name is in bottom right.

    9. Add favourites / Recent channels to Formula Home Screen

    Launcher Settings - Customise Channels - then choose.

    10. Hide apps and create new rows on main screen

    Launcher settings - App Groups - Locker (is to hide them)

    11. Quick way to make favourites

    Bring up channel list - press left twice.

    Hi, Sorry i am new to this box thing, but what is xtream codes api? i use a portal URL, but no username or password is needed.

    That's a Mac based subscription on SmartSTB, so if no user / pass you will need use Mac id.

    Now Mac based is only one device unless you change Formula Mac to same as your smartstb and try see it works.

    Of if not using SmartSTB no more, then need give your provider the Mac from formular so it works on there.

    Just received my Z11 and noticed that the categories from both services are shown as one long list.

    Is there not a way in Mol 3 to have the provider detailed at the top and for that provider to be collapsible / expandable?

    Without this there's no way of knowing which service is which as most categories have the same headers from most suppliers.

    This looks to be a step in the right direction, but looks unfinished

    Just simple, they are both connected (always) but full active only this one you watching Channel at current time + shown in the Category/Channel list. Change from Provider A to B is instantly. The Live TV OSD shows also the name (you inserted at creation) from used sub.

    Channel list-> first category-> test some channel (Is Provider A)

    Channel list-> last category-> test some channel (Is Provider B)

    In the List are all category`s shown from all active subs. but not with which category Provider B/C/D starts, this have you to found out.


    I echo Minimeben, I loaded many providers and there is no collaspe or minimise, no placeholder for each supplier, if you go in VOD or TV series it's also the same.


    Hi all

    I've tried installing itv hub from various places but it always no compatible with this device.

    I presume itv have blocked formulers from using but is there anyway of bypassing the software so it works?

    I bought the box as I told it was the best around but now I find I can't use some streaming sites!

    Cheers

    Formuler fantastic for mol2, the dedicated app and third party vod stuff however if purchasing for uk catch ups and Netflix is a no go.

    Same as GTV no licensing for bbc iplayer, itv hub and Netflix.

    So best best if formuler got your IPTV and third party vod stuff and if want uk catch ups / Netflix then Amazon / google dongle on a different hdmi in my opinion.

    Hi all, I am having problem with apps not being able to be seen in store or working even if downloaded elsewhere. In oarticticular IBritish apps. ITV hub, All4 and BBC iPlayer to name a few. THey do not show up for download in Google store. What can I do ? Thanks.

    UK catch ups especially Android TV OS ones are not ideal via Formuler GTV or the Z10 Max unfortunetly.

    BBC iPlayer - wont be there
    ITV hub - doesn't have license.
    All4 - isn't on android tv bar Sony and dedicated freeview play boxes.

    MY5 will work.

    Mobile / tablet versions may work but would need use mouse/navigation not as good.

    If UK catch ups are key for your viewing, pick up a 4k Amazon stick on black Friday and use that for all UK catchups including all4/UKTV.

    So best to layout things like

    1. What is the exact model, i.e Formuler z10 Pro Max?

    2. Where did you purchase?

    3. What is the exact message that comes up, how does the screen look?

    and such like.

    Sorry. Have disconnected the box. And am unable to photograph. Am 80 and confined to wheelchair so this sort of thing is rather complicated for me. From memory the code was 000015xxx.I really wonder if I have been sold a stolen items?


    Unfortunately you will need to provide them some information to be able to help you.

    Now if it's portal blocked, then you need someone near you to know what the purpose of these boxes are for and to help you.

    If you cant use the box and 80 years old, I would get a refund from where you purchased and not bother to be honest.

    However if you're based in UK and purchased a z10 Pro Max from a person or ebay then a recent batch was stolen from World of Sat (UK formuler distro) so if it was that that then serial numbers are logged, so it's always worth checking, but I am inclined to think maybe it's user error though.

    Well, I'm happy for you, but after the MOL2 update my GTV is slow and when I watch iptv channels the sound is (or gets after a minute) out of sync and i had no problem what so ever before the update.

    I also have an Z10 Pro and there are absolutely no problem with that box so the only explanation I can think of is the MOL2 update...

    I really don't want to do a factory reset like adrilang did to fix his/her box after the update, I have way to many favorites in my vod and even more series and there will be to much of a hassle to remember where I am in each serie.

    But if Formuler say that no one but me had problems after the update, then there is nothing wrong and my box has suddenly gone crazy...

    On GTV inside MOL2 go to

    Menu - settings - player settings and if auto refresh rate is turned on, turn it off.

    Then see if it’s still laggy.

    Theses boxing are becoming so unpredictable with other apps disney netflix itv hub bbc iplayer nothing is straight forward with apps not being compatible sort it out formuler a £20 firestick lite is more compatible with apps putting all reasources into bringing out the next model but still cant get the basic apps what everyone wants these devices for

    To be honest, nobody buys a Formuler directly for bbc/itv/netflix,

    Formulers USP is the MOL2 application, the rest is secondary, of course we all want them apps, but if people buy personally for netflix / bbc then they are not researching enough on what they are buying this brand for.

    If one want's best of both then have a z8 pro / CC / GTV on HDMI 1 and a major brand like Amazon / Nvidia / Google / Apple on hdmi 2 if you need official BBC iPlayer , ITV hub and 4k Netflix as all them 3 applications need official certification for the GTV, although a sideloaded Netflix and iPlayer works.

    Try turning off sdr to hdr in settings.

    But since you have 1 post and a new member and speak exactly like a certain someone banging the same sort of drum on GTV bashing, I hold judgement of whether this is a legit issue.

    Hi, when I try playing an episode (it has an mpeg4 video and mp3 audio) on MOL2 on my GTV it asks me to play it via mx player pro. Can I just play it with the internal player of my gtv? My z8 plays these eps fine.

    Thanks

    Do you have external play for vod toggled to off in player settings in MOL2?

    This is too complicated for older users . why can you assign a key for it ? . Every body watches VOD and is a must for the senior citizens . The IR remote which came with the Z8 is the best .

    If explaining that to senior citizens is complicated, then could always just suggest.

    Menu - Vod And / Or Menu - Series for them clients.

    Although if just say 2 dot button is vod button then it’s not that complicated really.

    1. Any tips from the experienced users on how to best manage group/channel favorites?

    2. Also, when using the channel search function, is there a way to view, and then return to the channels populated in the search without having to re-type the same search?

    Thanks.

    In response to Question 1

    Bring up channel list.
    Press Left twice
    Create own favourite groups / rename / order way you want in favs.

    1. Yes you would buy a Formuler for MOL2 mainly, so add your service in MOL2 but you can add other apps.
    2. You can use mac based, although XC / User / Pass methods are lot more flexible to add to other devices and apps also.
    3. Nothing, as MAC would be only with that provider, again if use XC / User / Pass no need for mac to be given to any supplier, plenty of options
    4. Yes you can use a VPN, many vpn apps work on Formuler.

    Hello,


    Happy owner of a GTV for a week.

    I would like to have TNT on the Mytvonline 2 application simultaneously with the IPTV channels.

    Do you think the Formuler USB "DVB-T TV Stick" tuner is compatible with GTV?


    I thank you in advance for your response.

    It is not compatible, I don't know if they will try to or not, but not as simple as just making it compatible.

    I suppose devs / admins can clarify if its in the pipeline.
