    I'm seeing the same issue. If I copy the URL to the browser I can download the list file and that works as a local list. As other users have said, the URL works fine in other apps. I've copy and pasted the URL to be sure it is correct. This is a problem with the current firmware.

    Remove the sdcard and retry with a usb flash disk or external hard disk.


    Also post which firmware version you are using.

    Already tried with a fast USB flash drive. Same problem. It happens with some channels, not all.

    My guess is that it's something to do with the player's capacity to read some files/how it saves that files. Either because of the bitrate or the codec settings for some channels. Viewing the files with MX Player creates a similar issue: instead of the freezes it slows down the image in regular intervals. This "slow motion" effect was also visible on some live channels some time ago but it seems to have been fixed with an update.


    Here is the codec information for 2 recordings: codec details

    One has no issues and the other has the freezes when playing in the Formuler STB. Both files play fine on a computer directly from the SD card.


    The firmware is the last one. I have no updates pending (both on the Z+ and the Z7+).

    Just discovered this thread. I'm having the exact same issues and, as others reported, playing recordings was fine when I first got the STBs (Z7+ and Z+). Starting a few months ago I get freezes every few seconds (on timeshift and recordings). I see no problems when playing the recording files on a computer straight from the same memory card.

    I tried to format the cards in every configuration possible but the problems remain. Something seems to be broken on the embedded player.

    A factory reset solved but the update still showed 2.0.4. Think it it's the system update and not MYTVOnline.
