Hi, I just testing if I can reproduce. I have link the red button to speedtest app. It only works on the Formuler Homescreen and not within MOL4 because the button has other function's .

Wish you a nice evening 🌆

Yes correct, it's only on Formuler homescreen to start an app with a colored button.

Did it worked also after you did standby the box? And after full shutdown of the box?

Cause that was his question. It didn't save the buttons he said, after standby.

In mol4 they are reserved for that app ofcourse.

I also noticed that the actors' photos are no longer displayed on the movie information page ;

Is "meta api" setting switched on in mol4 settings?

Please check.

Lucky, NTFS is recommended by Formuler. My SSD would not work for Timeshift when NTFS was used to format it. I advised I used FAT32 and it worked for Timeshift. If you read my post I said I only use the SSD for Timeshift and backup. Internal storage is used for Recording that may require a larger file size. I would suggest anyone try NTFS 1st and if it works for Timeshift, great. If it does not I just advised what I did (FAT32) and what worked for me.

Yes i readed your post. If it works out for you, great.

Exfat should also work my friend. Maby better as fat32😃

Goodday my friend

Quote from Belgiumuser

Enjoy your holiday!🌞

Thank you my friend Belgiumuser.

Maby can you test it too if you got Z12 my friend.

Wish you a good day my friend and thank you again.

Fat32 goes to max filesize 4 gigabyte.

Use ntfs with rufus. Is advice.

Thanks Sam, hopefully this will help with dropping WiFi and randomly the WiFi just shutting off on my box 🤞🏻

Try otherwise devolo magic wifi 2 powerline adapters. With 2 ethernetports, so you can connect your box with cable.

Expensive, but worked great for years.

Last 8 years i got just cables everywhere.

P.s: there are also only devoly magic lan adapters, without WiFi. Bit didn't test them. The are cheaper but also don't have a earth pen, so speed can be somewhat slower.

Some sstoreshave them, try them for some days and if not worked out for you. Return/send back within 30 days.

I’ve had Z Mini for about 18 months. I synched it up with MYTV on my iPhone. All good. Until a couple of months ago, when live tv stopped working on MYTV and then VOD stopped working too. I tried refreshing. Nope. Tried deleting the MYTV app and reinstalling. Got an error message when I tried importing my data. Been told by my provider that many others having the same problem. Any ideas?

Ask your provider to reset your subscription and or ask for other url.

Is it fault code 1010? Then you need new url.

If live tv stops working and vod, it's your whole subscription.

So they need to reset it our give you other url.

Is it your iPhone app what doesn't work and or your z mini? Or both?

Goodday my friend.

Quote from Knor

The Z12 BT offers the possibility of programming the Color Keys to connect directly with apps. I did this, it worked, but just a day later it doesn't. Instead I'm getting the remote's search screen, or just nothing. And yes, I have installed new batteries. Any good advice?

If it won't save your keys, is that after a reboot or standby?

Im on holiday, so can't reproduce it.

If it's to reproduce, it can be a bug.

henkie can you try to add app to one of your colored keys? And then try standby and do a reboot.

Did it save the key and the app you setup at it on your side?

Thanks in advance.

Goodday

So we are talking a new box then and no fix?

You doesn’t say that in your post.

Sent it back, cause you have warrenty.

Problem solved.

Goodday

Hi I have a Z11 pro max that I can only say is probably bricked, it wouldn’t go past the loading page and have tried many times to do a factory reset and it just doesn’t work, can you help?

Remove usb and or sd card. Only hdmi and power comnected!

Try tree times hard reset.

If don't work.

I think it's bricked yes.

Quote from F_Peter

We have a few Samsung TVs here, but couldn't reproduce the issue.

I suspect it could be a hardware issue with the HDMI port on the Z12 Ultra.

If you can find another TV to test it on, please test with it.

Otherwise, I suggest you check with the seller for further inspection on the device.

This is his 2nd brand new Z12. Today came it. He used original cable and plugged all in on his samsung tv and AGAIN strange colors.

@all (new) samsung tv users: who's had this problem with the Z12 and fixed?

skillzo1: try to reset your Samsung tv to factory settings. With the z12 ON! Maby after factory reset tv gives a good hdmi handshake because you left your z12 on! Check this google search link!

Lucky13  SAM this is a software/setting issue. This is a BRAND NEW OPEN AND UPADATED z12 ultra. NO SETTINGS HAVE BEEN TOUCHED OR CHANGED. This is the hdmi cable that comes with z12 in a totally different hdmi input in back of the tv. Same result as original. Look at the bottom under the apps in the photo.

Looks to me a hdmi handshake or other ploblem.

F_Peter and team: can you think this about this?

add all (new) samsung tv users: who has this more? Who knows about samsung tv's settings?

Quote from skillzo1

What about changing this? Match content frame rate? I would imagine i want that on tho.

Give it a try, but i don't think it helps.

Think your new box would be better i hope😀

Quote from ips51

Hi so while watching tv it keeps going back to developer options to turn off but it's off. But keeps kicking me out of mytvoline4 back to developer options.

Wrong topic, can happen.

Anyway, try turn it back on and look if usb debugging is off.

And turn it off developers mode again.

then remove cache from mol4 and reboot device.

Quote from FineoFinea

The box closing automatically when started with this message. However box does not respond to remote in order to go back or ok.

Otherwise the remote works perfectly.

I always need to start the box by unplugging/replugging the power as the hdmi port does not regconize the box.

Check batteries of your remote and

If battery change doesn’t work you can try reset your remote.

Hold zero (0) button and OK BUTTON for some seconds.

If led blinks, the reset is done.

If your remote doesn’t light the led on top of remote after changing with good alkaline batteries, it's probably dead. The led should always light up by pressing a button. If not...

Sent back if you got warrenty.

You tried a lot. Sometimes in color space you can get i right. Rgb 8 bit and or other one from 10bit of the list. But i didn't workee out for you.

Wait for other device and let us know my friend.

Quote from skillzo1

Can i backup my z12 ultra settings and apps and restore it to a seperate new z12 ultra?

No, not possible.

Unfortunately only on the backupped device so far i know.

Maby in a future update. Who knows.

Goodday my friend

You checked in android settings (cogwheel upper right corner)?, device Preferences, display and sound, screen resolution, and test there some options?

in Display mode, (from auto to other setting)

In Color Space Settings an other option. 10BIT is the max for your tv! So if it's 12bit, change it to 10 bit.

Hdr output mode in display and sound to: adaptive!! (or try off)

If you have warrenty, reset box and sent it back for new one.

Quote from adrilang

One additional thing I’ve found and has been persistent for sometime.

Bluetooth connection is quite weak on Z12. At least for me.

I almost need to have the box on show for wireless headphones or earbuds to work suitably without disruption.

Additionally, there is often no sound using these devices. I have to restart a couple of times for sound to start working. Bluetooth shows devices are connected with audible tone and the word “connected” but no sound.

for comparison, I also have Z11 and there is zero issues of this nature from what I experience.

Issue is genuinely only on Z12

I’m curious to know if any others experience this?

Sometimes (very rarerly) the bluetooth is gone yes. After long watching a channel or movie via nas. You see orange led by pushing buttons and after 1 minute it’s back again the bluetooth and led change to white.

And very rarerly after starting a heavy app for cam it hangs. I can push back button once. But fore close with 2x home button don't work or after very long time.

had only once with beta 2 version that device fell black and had to cut the power.

And yes, the back button in vod/series still does't work. We need to use menu button.

Not just one refresh button, all to do apart yet.

And i love to see ONE refresh button in the menu for updating all portal(s), live tv, epg, vod and series.
but these are points I have noticed.

But beta 2 is such hughe update. Via fireware more private dns's.

And in mol4 tizentube for watching trailers. No more spontanius closeing app.

Very happy so far.

You could also try on formuler apps screen hold ok button on mytvonline.

Then info and then remove cache.

Then do a refresh of your sub at contentsources.

Goodday, but you fixed it already but it's word a try. Maby you can use your usb again.

What “newer version of android” this is a beta software update an not and android or firmware update.

Quote from Lucky133

Firmware was written in beta update text on top.

First firmware update i thought.

Only text fimware.

Then mol4 update and all changes.

And yes, no new android. You are right.

And in firmware for beta 2 are more private dns's added.

Quote from henkie

During about ten times over the day i tried to install the beta2 update,each time with the same result,after home>SW update >press1339 nothing happens,no red block on the right lower side,simply NOTHING,anyone else having the same issue?

In android settings, go to apps, find "formuler update", and clear data?

Then reboot device.

Try again?

P.s: red button isn't in Z12. After pressing 1339 a new page is coming up with a beta logo in upper right corner.

Quote from kran

What kind of update is this? The box is constantly lagging; it feels like a €20 Temu box now. Why isn't there an update to Android 14? Everyone knows Android 12 sucks for TV boxes—the devs are doing a terrible job here over 2 moth for a second beta reales and than this Garbage sry don't sell boxes with this firmware

Android 12 is fine.

Android 14 isn't nessesary.

I advice for you: do a factory reset.

Some boxes need a factory reset after an update.

Goodday

Quote from svejoh

Several people write here about the weather app not working. Have I missed something or is this little symbol in the upper right corner what you mean? For me it's completely unimportant, you can see the weather anyway. Or is there something else I've missed about the weather. Mine works with and without VPN anyway.

svejoh

That's the wheater app yes.

I got it too.

Quote from al_my

Initial thoughts on the new Beta.

Seems less buggy and a bit more smoother and more responsive.

The settings menu is better.

The AI search works much better now and is really quite neat, however, when it gives you a choice of movies to select from, it only keeps the synopsis of the first movie even when you move across on to the other choices.

Same issues as others not going to home screen, but instead last live watched channel, Not able to press the back button from VOD, and the weather app thing (it's just not there on the home screen, but, I really don't care about that anyways).

Still some of the same issues from last such as not being able to select all/none on the group management etc, and I'm looking forward to more personalisation in terms of colour schemes etc.

All that said, I still think it's gonna be great.

At my side the weather app is just there.

Without vpn and with vpn.

Im living in west Europe.

Where do you live? Do you use vpn?

Quote from khan768

Thanks for your suggestion, however the right side only controls the tv volume which is not what i need the sound bar remote i used on other boxes to control their volume and never need to go above max 10 via soundbar remote. Here need to go to 17+ also effects are loud and dialogue not so loud. unless ramped up.

In formuler remote you can change a setting.

To not control the tv but your soundbar.

Note: normally when using hdmi arc you control tv and bar goes louder right? Anyway, please have a look in Formuler remote app. And search for "volume control" and choose soundbar. Give it a try my friend.

Quote from Clasimodo

I suppose the weather app uses your IP address and not your WiFi or real location. My weather is from the place of my provider hub - without VPN of course.

It uses provider hub yes.

Maby turn on location at location services in android?

Quote from banderso21

Lucky when you turned on Weather Widget was Nord already connected? In my scenario if I turn on Weather Widget with Nord off it shows up. If I then connect Nord , Weather Widget goes away.

Did you splittunnel the app mediabrowser maby?

Nordvpn starts automatic with booting device.

But when i turn off Nordvpn it's still there my friend. It changes direct to my country. (West europe)

Will try auto connect off and reboot device. Have a look if i can reproduce it.

Oh and i have nothing done with developers options.

Goodday my friend, i let you know.

Edit: after reboot and not starting nordvpn the weather widget is still giving the place and temp.

Weather working just fine with my z12 and nordvpn

Quote from LDeacon

Bug: Still can't press back in any VOD menu to go back to live. Button just 'shakes'.

Yes, we still need use menu button🙈

But the rest is great. Tizentube added and many more options.

Quote from Gadget Man

Took awhile, because every time I went to apps to uninstall it, it kept bringing up the error and closing the settings, but I finally got there fast enough to uninstall it and now at the "Installing MYTVOnline4" screen that shows a USB going to the Z12 Ultra Box and a line with a percentage, been at 40% for awhile now. Gotta walk the dog, will give it some time and let you know.

You had to do factory reset. Then you know for sure it was gone

But you fixed it already. Good job my friend

Quote from wmwilker

The Content Sources don't allow me to manage my channels. I'm looking for a way to manage the contents

On a channel, press ok button, press with d-pad to left, tree dots upper left, show and hide groups.

Do you ment that?

But i said the exactly steps. You can't do anything wrong my friend.

Give it a try. Maby it helps?

Check in android settings (cogwheel upper right corner)?, device Preferences, display and sound, screen resolution, and test there some options please.

Display mode, (from auto to other setting)

color space settings, try an other option. 10 bit or so?

Hdr output mode in display and sound to: adaptive!! or try off.

Hdcp from 2.2 to 1.4?

Image settings: everything 50%

Hopefully you find a solution.

Goodday my friend

Quote from Formuler_86

Hello,

I think my box is totally broken.

Im getting no signal from it.

I’ve tried to reset it, power on off, different HDMI signal and different TV.

It’s completely dead.

I’ve bought it just 5 months ago.
What could the error be?

Can I send back this device to manufacture?

Thank you

Reset again and try it on a computer screen if you have? Try other powersupply (with same specs)

Or simple way like my friend Belgiumuser already said: send it back for warrenty.

Quote from skillzo1

So i notice random flickers/glitch/blip in the display. It is not hdmi cable or sing port related.

Problem has been documented using 2 different hdmi cables. 1 that comes from z12 factory and also another very high quality 8k cable. Also happens on multiple hdmi inputs on back of tv so its not hdmi tv input related. Doesnt matter what is being displayed from the box as it happens when watching live tv… vod… even the home screen.

Attached is a few photos i took with the phone and snapshot of the glitch. First image is not too obvious as it looms out of focus. But it is not. It is a glitch. 2nd and 3rd photo more obvious.

I will ask of they will add them what i downloaded last time for you.

Some apps you can also download from there own website and sideload and or playstore.

Proton vpn: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/andr…ect-release.apk

Planet free vpn: https://cdn.freevpnplanet.com/tv/planetvpn-tv.apk

Quote from dhphoto

It was my VPN, I turned that off and it worked, thanks for your help

Good job my friend!

Note: open your vpn and search for "splittunnelling" option.

If you find that option, you can add that app in it. Then you can use vpn, but due the app is splittunneled it won't use your vpn.

That's why the create splittunnelling.

Try it.

Maby nordvpn? In settings you find it direct. Include rugby in splittunnel and save.
