    It was absolutely not my intention to make the situation personal or to be disrespectful.
    I am simply a user of the device and I am satisfied with its performance, which is why I am proud to have acquired it.
    My only goal is to have a good user experience and to understand any possible changes in order to make better use of it.
    Thank you for your feedback. 🙏

    It did to me. Installed it and as soon as i started mytv it asked me to disable developer mode, if i don't it won't start. That's so bad i don't have words for that...

    Reverted for non beta and i hope this don't become official or i'll try to never update and if it forces the update i will sell this POS!!!!

    I really hope this is a bug because i don't believe no one uses developer mode to enable adb debugging and configure the app or watch it on computer when i'm not in the mood to go to the place where the formuler is as i do in every other box no matter the brand. No one disables developer mode. FFS formuler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It’s nonsense to block MyTV from starting with developer mode enabled. It is a violation of users’ privacy. I’ve never seen that on an Android box. Formuler has taken inspiration from Google’s policy.”

    Besides changing DNS and having a good Internet connection, it can be useful to have two different IPTV services as a backup solution. During major sporting events, high traffic can overload some servers; connecting a little before the event starts can sometimes improve the experience depending on the service used

    If you don't mind, I can suggest not exactly a solution, but a small workaround that may help narrow down the issue.

    Try re-adding your subscription, but keep only the TV channels you actually watch. Also disable VOD and Series completely. Then test it for a while and see whether the crashes stop or become less frequent.

    Another possible lead could be memory usage. Either the number of installed/running applications or an app that is not fully compatible with the Formuler may be contributing to the issue.

    On Formuler, try long-pressing the Home button and use the red button to clear memory. Even after a reboot, the box may keep some apps cached in memory to speed up launching and give the impression of faster performance.

    For testing purposes, at the beginning of your session, clear the memory, use only MYTVOnline, and observe whether the problem still occurs.

    You could also install AIDA64 just to check RAM/storage status and overall system information. It may not give a definitive answer, but it could provide useful clues.

    It is preferable to configure a DHCP reservation for the Formuler at the router level. The device has a clearly identifiable MAC address. It is also recommended to configure DNS directly on the router and leave the Formuler set to automatic mode.

    I don’t know why you insist on using MyTVOnline when TiviMate manages your subscription much better.

    For $30, get a lifetime TiviMate Premium subscription; in my opinion, it has all the features, and even more. You can even add EPG URLs.

    Keep your Formuler to benefit from its performance, add TiviMate, and enjoy peace of mind.

    In my opinion, I think you are using the same subscription on multiple devices, or the same IPTV provider on several devices with the same IP address. Your provider may be blocking the use of two simultaneous connections, or it may see it as abuse coming from the same IP address.

    I think you could extract the M3U links, create a small local server, and then use the streams on each device, as long as only one connection is active at a time.

    If it still doesn’t work, then either change your subscription — making sure to test it first with MyTVOnline — or use TiviMate Pro. User feedback says it is as good as MyTVOnline, or even better.

    Let’s start again from the beginning.
    Clear the cache and history of MyTVOnline.
    Restart your network interface to get a different IP address.
    Restart the Formuler device.
    Launch only MyTVOnline and set up just one subscription.
    The admins say that MyTVOnline works better with M3U and Xtream formats than with MAC/Stalker portals.
    If you are using a MAC/Stalker portal, try using an official subscription. And if you have multiple subscriptions, always disable the others and keep only one active.
    If none of this works, ask your IPTV provider to convert your subscription to M3U or Xtream format. Normally, it should work right away.

    MyTv Online 3 will not accept 1 server, have 5 other servers running okay.

    This 1 server works on TiviMate, and IPTV Smarters no problem.

    Any ideas ?

    Thanks,

    The difference between IPTV players mainly comes down to:

    the User-Agent

    cookies

    Stalker-specific headers

    the handshake/token sequence

    It’s also worth checking whether you are using the same server with the same IP address.

    If you read the posts from last years, you will find many user requests where community users want to be beta tester. Before, it was closed testing! To be honest i would in some cases like the old way again but this is something that many users do not want/like.

    There is official channel for those who do not want to Beta-test and wait for official and Beta channel for those who want to do it and report. Requests and Reports are coming from very much different channels, forum is only one of them.

    So much for that topic. The fact is, no matter how you do it, there will always be dissatisfaction.

    That is the goal.

    Please now return to the actual topic, the Beta Update. Thanks.

    No difference except for the addition of SmartTube. Same interface, same behavior.

    On my side, every time I close my Z11, I will automatically send a bug report, without going through email.

    I,m not happy with formuler. I have formuler z11pro max (red light) it was bought for me ., do not no how supplier was , I will pay to get it fixed . Can anyone tell me what I do . As you no z11 pro max is not cheep .:frowning_face:

    Before doing anything, check whether it is an authentic Formuler device. Post an image or any information to confirm its authenticity. Then ask yourself what you installed or changed before the problem appeared.

    Its already implemented on z12 ultra,expect it will also change with upcoming z11 update:smiling_face:

    Thank you. Another thing: when I turn on the box and press the right button on the remote to go to the next app, the remote skips the app immediately to the right and goes straight to the third app. I know it’s a minor bug, but we, the Formuler family, are still waiting for improvements.

    I have a mystifying issue that may be a Formuler Z11 Pro Max device issue ? My primary VOD streaming app is Stremio. It is setup with both Premiumize and Torbox debrid services using Torrentio, Comet and Media Fusion as scrappers. Approx. 1 month ago, Stremio stopped finding ANY Torrentio links – despite Stremio on my Buzz X5, Onn 4K Plus, and Windows laptop finding MANY Torrentio links from Premiumize and Torbox. The Formuler did find Comet and Media Fusion links but no Torrentio links. With Stremio being totally cloud based and not device based, I couldn’t think of any reason why the Formuler Z11 doesn’t see the same account details/links as all the other devices ?? So, I performed a factory reset of the Formuler and reinstalled and relinked all apps & also tried both wi-fi and ethernet connections. I’m still having the same NO Torrentio links. Other devices still always find MANY Torrentio links. My wife has learned how to use and navigate around the Formuler and really loves it. I hate to replace it with something new. Can you think of anything that could be causing this Torrentio “blocking” issue ??

    Stremio is currently not available on the Play Store.

    I recommend downloading the latest official version from the Stremio website, making sure to choose the Android TV version.

    Also try changing the DNS (for example 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8), as Torrentio is sensitive to DNS.

    If you are using an ad blocker such as AdGuard Home or Pi-hole, the issue may also come from there, as some Torrentio domains can be blocked.

    Finally, make sure to update Google services (Google Play Services, Android System WebView, and others) from the Play Store.

    Use Kodi with the Elementum addon. Kodi runs very smoothly on the Formuler Z11 pro max. Additionally, Kodi supports OpenSubtitles.
