• The Sticky threads for the Dreamlink T3 and the Formuler Z8 devices can be shared.
    These devices are exact same devices, all except their name and gift boxing.
  • I see people with this MAC issue often.
    The thing is that the service wants the MAC of the IPTV application that the device is using to connect to the service and not the actual device's MAC
    The IPTV application would be the DOL or MOL application and it's MAC will always starts with 00:1a:79
    If you noticed that the device's MAC and the IPTV MAC (DOL or MOL) have the same last 6 digits, but the first 6 are different. The first six is what tells the server to recognize the MAC. It will not recognize the device's MAC since it does not begin with 00:1a:79 ... nor does the device itself connect to the service, the DOL or MOL does.

EPG work in a DL T3?

#2
what method are you using to connect to server ?
Playlist URL or Portal with credentials (username and password), or Portal with MAC attached ?
Depending what way it is connected, will determine what can be done.

The EPG populates a bit different on the T3 as compared to other dreamlinks. To get the EPG to start populating, scroll thru the channels while on EPG Single mode, and stop on a random channel a few times.

This T3 here with same method and Kens EPG had lots of info missing as well, but this afternoon seems to be much better.
Most all channels have EPG info now.

Kens Guide has been taken over and its not populating the data correctly and the "Donate to Kens" invalid link advertising has not been removed.

Use the Providers built in Guide, here is the URL to use, just input your Server Portal & Donation number, thats it, works pretty well.




change "yourserverportal" to your provider url portal link> example: p1.iptvprivateserver.tv
change "yourdonation" to your emailed Donation string
do not remove the ? or = or &

All this works on a T2 but not on a T3 or a Formuler Z7+ EPG only shows the name of the program but not the description

Providers EPG guide is not formatted properly (as per xmltv.dtd).
Below is snippet of 2 programs from Providers guide;
Code: 
<programme start="20190924123000 -0400" stop="20190924130000 -0400" channel="35806" ><title>David Attenborough&apos;s Natural Curiosities </title><desc>Category: Documentary, Nature, Outdoors, Series, series

Description: 


Sir David Attenborough shines the spotlight on nature&apos;s most amazing animals. Taking a look at female hyenas and why male seahorses give birth.






</desc></programme><programme start="20190924130000 -0400" stop="20190924140000 -0400" channel="35806" ><title>Planet Earth II </title><desc>Category: Documentary, Nature, Animals, Series, series


Description: 


The great mountain ranges are some of the planet&apos;s most spectacular landscapes, but they are unforgiving places to live in. Only few pioneering animals have what it takes to endure at extreme altitude. Mountain animals are also amongst the most elusive in the world, yet this film provides unique and intimate glimpses into their secretive lives. Witness the moment four snow leopards come together when a mother and cub become trapped between two rival males.

Producer: Michael Gunton,  Tom Hugh-Jones.

Just a thought...
The Description may take awhile to scroll up, due to the extra space and info included in the description tag
Click to expand...
Shooty are you using a Dreamlink T3? All the problems are with this box. I actually got Kens URL working on X7+ but no EPG url is working on T3 unless you use MAC address setup. On the T3 you only see the name of the program running on the channel but no description. They don't show up later either.

Crazed are you saying that your T3 is showing name of program running at that time plus a description of that program using M3U playlist and Kens EPG?
Click to expand...

yes, that is what I am saying
Program name and program full description are there with correct times and correct info.
This is in the Playlist slots using the Playlist URL and kens guide and with iptv66

That is how it was a few days ago when I had the T3 connected.
