T1 Plus S/W pushed update

#21
Incorrect execution of updates out of order!

I just went to my other T1 (not a plus) and started it up.

The first thing it did was to download the android firmware and update it.

Then it rebooted and went right to loading the portal... it did NOT update the IPTV firmware.

It had no problems with the server. Its channels are all in correct order.

Observation... this morning my 1st T1+ discovered the android update and I approved the download. So it updated.
OK. My T1+ did not have the firmware update when it got hit with the IPTV app update. It had its channels screwed up and I had to do a server IPTV reboot.
My dumb old plain T1 just got the android firmware update only. It did not get hit yet with the IPTV update. Its server is fine and so are its channels.

Just my humble 2 cents.

I have a T1+ box and it will not install firmware update 2.8.12. I hit update now it downloads the update restarts the box and on boot says it found update 2.8.12 again. Now have 0 access to anything on that box. The box is still at version 2.8.0, looks like 2.8.10 never got installed. Would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Matt

Matt...do a factory reset and see if that fixes the problem.

No button on box....though Dreamlink guys if you’re reading put a damn reset button on your box! Was able to get around the firmware loop by disconnecting the Ethernet cable and turning off the wifi to my house. From there was able to get to settings menu to do a factory reset.

Factory reset done, did the initial config stuff(language, time zone, etc) and then as soon as it was back online, it tried to install that horrible firmware update and I’m back at square one.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this or do I just have an expensive paper weight now?

the update is not 'horrible'
Maybe you having networking issues or etc..Maybe your wifi is horrible or your ISP is horrible... maybe it is cutting in and out and playing havoc on the system trying to continue with it's initiating process.

Really stretching to blame anyone but yourselves aren’t ya? Especially considering there are 3 pages of people complaining about your updates on this thread alone. The box is hardwired with 150mbps down, 15mbps up and never goes up and down. Have installed several updates to the box in the past without issue, nothing has changed other than it’s a new update.

Also, it downloads the update in a couple seconds, once the update is downloaded, why in the hell would I need a network connection to install it?

So judging by your message, you have no clue what’s wrong or how to fix it and my box is now a useless brick...that about right?
 
#29
judging by your comments you have missed the whole point of my comments :eek:

Instead of coming here and posting about how horrible something is or what a great paper weight it might make... the idea is to post what issues we may see with new upgrade or things that need attention.

When I see words like 'paper weight' or 'horrible' or 'door stopper' or 'brick' ... I tend to go on the defensive.


So post your comments with a hint of respect to the forum here and to the team .... and then perhaps the team will read it or one of us may send in a report about it... or don't post at all.

Been working with the DOL2 and the new Playlist portal this last while.
I see some trouble with changing channels when using the Playlist portal and with the m3u file installed thru USB. I don't know how I missed this before, probably because I checked one channel and then I was checking out the menu functionality more then anything else (at the time).
So problem is that it will not change channels.. well it will physically change, but the new channels never appears to connect. You have to exit the DOL2 app and then re-enter and that last channel you tried but failed, will now appear normally, but try changing channel again and it fails again.

I was using an edited Playlist and it had blank spaces between each channel line. I put them blanks in there for ease of the editing process'.
I thought maybe that was the trouble, so I grabbed a fresh Playlist (un-edited), and came across same scenario. First channel appears, but can not get any other channel to connect until you exit the DOL2 and re-enter.

Have not tested the Playlist thru URL yet but will do asap

I apologize if I offended you with my message, you’ll notice my first post was very respectful but after many, many hours trying to get this working, my frustration levels keep rising. Adding to my frustration is the fact that the box was purchased like 7months ago and it looks like I’m going to have to shell out another $100-200 for a new box.

That description in my first post(apr 12) accurately describes the issue I’m having. Have done factory resets(multiple), software reset but no help still have exactly the same issue from first post. At this point the only way I can get into the box at all is if I disconnect it from the network. Wish there was some sort of option to disable automatic updates so I can at least use the box but can’t find anything.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

my next step would be to take that box to a different ISP connection. To a freind's house or something.
I am not saying that your ISP is the issue, but something is stopping that box from updating the firmware correctly.
Is why my first comment on this was about networking (WAN or LAN).

The new upgrade could possibly be to blame too and your box found a glitch which is stopping it from fully updating. Or your box itself has issues with something along them lines.

But before you go further,, try it at another location.

Just to update this thread with some other issues reported...

-The incorrect channel order was corrected with using the complete server URL portal address, as shown in the thread linked below. There were quite a few reports saying that the full URL corrected the problem.
-Some reported connection issues were corrected by excluding the user credentials upon server setup in the DOL2 menu.

This doesn't seem to be a similar problem to any others that I have read about this update. We would all like to help you but like has been said, there are only so many things we can do. I would try crazed's idea of using a different network to see if you can install the update. If it still won't install, then you know for sure its not a network issue...be sure that the other network is not with the same ISP if possible.

Failing that, I am assuming that you have tried the reset file from this thread:

http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?33702-Factory-Reset-File-for-T1-Plus

If not, I would give it a shot. Its just another way to factory reset the box meant more for a box that isn't powering on properly, but its worth a shot.

If that doesn't work, then you could have a bad network card or other hardware within the box that is not compatible with the update for some reason. If the box is less than 1 year old and you bought it from an authorized Dreamlink dealer, you may be able to exchange it for a new one under warranty if its faulty. Contact your dealer.

Aside from those options, I'm not sure how to help you. Remember, one bad box, or one bad update, does not make the product as a whole "horrible". Good luck, I really hope you get it figured out.

Newest push today (April 25, 2018)
S/W Version v2.8.13
IPTV Version v1.9.24

I do not see any release notes yet, but they will probably be the same as the T2 release notes from their recent update

Playlist Portal functionalities are not working correctly and may be also effecting the VOD Portal playback.. It wasn't completely correctly working last update thou.
Last S/W version the Playlist Portal worked with categories (thru an edited playlist from iptv66), but when selecting a movie is when things did not work correctly and you could not select new movie, unless you exited out of the Playlist portal and re-enterd it.
But with this new update now, and using the same edited playlist, the categories no longer appear correctly. I know it is trying to pick them up because outta the 3 categories shown, one is a category I created in my edited playlist (Holiday Specials)... But there are only 3 movies in total and should be approx 50 different categories with 4000 or so movies.

Another thing I have noticed is if you have a Playlist installed thru USB and thru the Playlist portal, then when you go back to the VOD portal, it gives you the Playlist from the USB and does contain all 4000 movies and in the alphabetical order that I gave them when edited. And the full category selections are there, but clicking on one brings the T1 back to the Playlist Portal and the lonely 3 movies that are there.

This is the same thing that my Formuler NanoZ is doing as well (with latest updates on the box), when it comes to this Playlist Portal functionality.

This latest iptv update has completely messed up the dol2 app on the T1. The screen goes grey when loading as normal, then turns black for approximately 8 minutes before the portal loads in. No loading bar comes up anymore and it takes so much longer then what it used to take.

something to try is deleting the server info from the current portal it has been enterd into. Then re-enter the server info into a different Portal (there are 5 server portals and plus 1 playlist portal).
Try that and see if makes a difference.
If not, then please report back so the report is here on record for the team to see

thnx :)
