    Users with portal issues: insert your portal url into web browser, enter and write here what kinde of message is shown. Thank you.

    If it helps for something, by web browser i get: Access Denied.

    But i guess it is supposed to be denied as the url doesn't have a website associated.

    Pinging works:
    Ping statistics for *******

    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

    The same happened to my Z8 as well. When they made the changes, could not connect to any portals in mol2 even though the forumler guys said it would have no effect. Finally had to factory reset the box and the portals started working again.

    I did the factory reset but with no luck. Did you update to beta at 1st run or kept the one it comes with or updated to the official version?

    I sent out 3 boxes the other day. All tested and working. They all arrived today and are all giving error code 7 message. It's no coincidence that the day between postage and arrival there was an issue with the ' no connection ' update. Everything else on the box is fine, just not the portal on mol

    Thanks for writing here!
    Let´s see if we are given some credit on our complaint

    Hello

    the banner that appear when i select a channel doesn't seems to follow configuration : i have to push OK to make it disappear, even if i set to disabled or reduce the timing. thx for help

    Yep, the UI does not go away every time, we have to use the Back button. no matter the time you set it to fade away.

    it only fades normally when i change one channel at a time and slowly.

    The provider as done everything on their side to solve the problem, everything is fine on their side-.

    It is the formuler z8 that can´t connect to Portal since the changes.

    I feel I have a pretty expensive brick now, called Z8. when is this update coming? :frowning_face: :frowning_face: :frowning_face:

    Thanks Sam, i already asked the provider to help, lets see if they get around whatever happened, never the less it is quiet a coincidence, I am still convinced it is related, just after that server change this first time problem..

    Formuler Z8 Annoucement:

    • Due to backend services optimization and CDN refactoring, Z8 devices will incorrectly show "Internet connectivity issue" to the user. The warning displayed does not affect the performance of the device. This issue will be patched in the upcoming software release.
    • Due to backend services optimization and CDN refactoring, newly un-boxed Z8 devices will not download the default system wallpaper correctly anymore. The wallpaper will be blank and black. Users can apply their own wallpaper from USB or URL in the Launcher settings.
      This issue will be patched in the upcoming software update that is scheduled for the end of this month.

    SAM, i would be happy if that sentence "does not affect the performance of the device" was true in my case. I am being affected by it, I can´t use Mytvonline2 as it does not connect. It has to be related, the portal was working fine and i already tested the service to be sure by m3u on a PC and its working normally.

    Hello,

    I use Portal but i don´t need to inform the mac to my provider. It has been working like for more then a month, i guess they registered auto at the first login.

    I don´t think that is the issue,

    I did a factory reset and even without setting any connection on Mytvonline2, just trying to update the Z8 gives me a msg "no network" and the connection icon on the Adroind SW stays with and exclamation mark as if it had no internet. But it does have as i am able to use youtube, install apps etc.

    So I am guessing the Formuler Z8 does a internet connection check to some server that is offline/not working.

    Hello,

    I have my Z8 starting with Mytvonline2 but it is now giving a connection error 7, goes to 10% when connecting to the usual portal, the Z8 as a no internet info on the connection with an exclamation mark, i cant go to the SW update as the Formuler says i have no network but The Z8 as internet as it is possible to use for instance youtube and install aps.

    I did a factory reset, it allowed me to update at the first start, i updated to the last Beta and still the same problem.

    Is there a problem with your servers where the box checks for an internet connection?!

    He should tell us if he use Provider box, if so, then is this box already branded and the settings changed from provider. Most of them cut many settings inside the box, so the provider have full control over the box. Retail boxes works normal.

    Janjeira, se a tua Box é uma box de provedor com o seu branding, que é o que parece, deverá ter as configurações alteradas pela empresa que fornece o serviço, a grande maioria corta o acesso a uma parte dos settings de modo a terem o controlo sobre o aparelho. Sendo uma Box Retail, funciona normalmente e permite acessos a todos os menus sem restrições.

    Installed the beta, looks good. Being able to go back to groups in the EPG works well.

    Not sure if this is a bug or feature change, but now the menu screens don't cover the whole image, like I have a border that's not covered by the menu. I can share a photo of you like?

    "Known issues with Beta firmware:

    Display area gets reset. Please re-set your Display area from the Android Settings > Display menu"

    :winking_face:

    Está bloqueada e não consigo aceder ao menu nem consigo alterar o portal

    acho que a informação é demasiado vaga, mais detalhe é capaz de ajudar a perceber.
    umas fotos, detalhe de o que acontece e quando etc.

    como determinas que está bloqueada?

    Just saying that it is blocked and you can´t reach the menu or change the portal i think it won´t be enough for anyone to help, maybe you can detail what happens, error messages received, exactly what does work or not and probably some pictures would help also. Good Luck.

    Hello,

    Is there a working version of Amazon Prime Video, of the version without purchase/renting of titles, for use on countries with Amazon Prime Subscription (prime deliveries that give access to Prime Video Library)?

    The downloadable version from the Formuler Z8 Market doesn´t allow login due to country restrictions (wrong app), using a Amazon Spain account with Prime, so it is clear to be the app for the countries with separate subscription and renting/buy contents possibility.

    The app version downloaded from Google Play, seems to be the correct type, the login works fine, all app is usable, all the functions seem to work besides de video player, the app crashes on every attempt to play any content. The player shows a buffering signal, then we can see the content playing for a few seconds without sound and with a blurry image and then the android gives a crashing warning with only the possibility to restart or close.

    Will the develop team ever look into this?

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    No problems with audio on my side, iptv / youtube / spotify or soundcloud all playing ok.

    EPG works fine for me, programmed recording is not available yet but I am pretty sure its was told before here (search) that it is to be implemented next month.

    I am not using WiFi at the moment, i used it for an hour or so while setting the box up at max router speed on dual band 5G, 8 hundred something mb.

    Wired it goes pretty well, with the ethernet gigabit connection I am getting on internet speed tests 600/575Mb from the Z8 on a 600/600Mb fiber, Ping delay is similar to what i get on a capable PC on the same network.
