Nicklab: can u please check why on the VOD on XC will not display the logo. It displays the information on the VOD though. 2 Is there anyway you can make the application take the groups not from the plalyist m3u_plus but from the groups/Categories same as the the mag portal as android for some reason has a weird way of showing the groups. 3 Customers are nagging about good ways to display the vod conetent same as neflix if possible. 4 Will it be possible to make the main menu: Live Channels, Movies and Tvseries at the start home screen and then from there the user can choose where to go?- 5 when will your apk be ready for providers with user and pass access. Thanks I am commenting here as you do not answer your emails
Could you send a test account where are no VOD images?
will send you fotos via email but on which email and can you please reply to my other points
nickman : why are u replying. here is it anyways and please reply to all my questions above: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOmkc1wmyYAgQFRHIUXY99LrE_Q8nMt8NxTesD3NQbcTROHWuWnmAXukjjA9_aNXw/photo/AF1QipOSvku-Q3mWJvOgOD7oHEQe5DH0nU4lq58tYRcK?key=ZW5ZVThrUk5nV1NJNjV0S0JScXdnd25MNFEwY3JR
Can’t help you without actual playlist URL. Probably, not all VOD images are configured on the server.
We will take your suggestions into account. Thanks!
I can and I already asked to tell me where can I send you the url. 2. You still did not answer all my questions in my first comment.
You can find email here.
Can’t help you with other questions.
email send. I hope you reply to my questions now
Hi, every channel is displaying the archive symbol. Is there a fix? I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but same issue Thanks
Probably, you shouldn’t select “XC” playlist format, as it’s not.
Thanks, done that, but now not showing any archive symbol, even on the channels that have such. Playlist is xc format
About EPG, is there a way how I can navigate on the EPG screen like moving through past, future shows on TV? I was able to do it on the windows application and android buy either touching the programme or selecting it with a mouse, but found no way on doing it while using a TV Remote. P.S. I am using Nvidia Shield
You can use long “Left”/”Right” key presses to scroll throught the EPG.
For some reason the Left / Right keys change the groups shown on EPG. Sorry if I did not make myself clear in the main message, but I am referring to the EPG timeline. Example: Viewing programmes for “Channel1” through the timeline 05:00 – 13:00. For demonstration I am attaching an image link with a red border to show you the part I am referring to. https://i.imgur.com/WpH4aoT.jpg
Thanks in advance.
Use LONG key presses.
That is it. Thanks 🙂
Can you add the possibility to hide the group total channel
Hide group
The 1st group with all channels cant be hide
Yes, it would be great to hide the “all channels ” group
I agree too I was looking for a way to hive the “All Channels” group.
Is there a way to keep volume at its highest constantly when watching on android tv? I’d sooner use left/right buttons for other options instead of volume, but i constantly find myself having to go back to this option to increase the volume. Thanks
Currently selected volume is saved on the app exit – double “Back” key press.
Awesome work i love this player i have been using 1.4.8 zero issues but yesterday i updated to 1.5.1. Beta and noticed a few channels were distorted so i changed setting to hw+ and the screen went black. I ussually set all to hw not hw+ so i tried all other setting the channel only worked in software and hw but the screen was distorted and alot of pixels. I decided to go back to 1.4.8 and channels work great with no distortion using hw+. Think something changed cause it works on 1.4.8 but 1.5.1 b1 some channels just give black screen when set to hw+ any advice would be great thanks. Keep up the great work.
Great updates, are there any plans to be able to change the order of folders under group management, like you can with channel management.
AGREED! This is the most requested feature that constantly comes up – and never even even get acknowledged by Nikman. Very strange.
The new update was very good, but there is a bug where it does not load all the content in XC mode.
Observe in the images, in M3U mode the series The good doctor appears with two seasons, but in XC mode only one is listed
M3U – https://imgur.com/IMjca6p
Mode XC: https://imgur.com/VBGXiRf
Could you, please, send an account for testing the issue?
Thanks!
Looks like, your IPTV provider has not configured properly the second season for “The Good Doctor” series on his server.
You could ask him to fix the issue.
Please activate recording mode.
Several player have thos possibility. Please Niklabs. He mist just this option for this beautiful player. Pleasssseee
Which buttons to press on andriod remote control to access countries groups on 1.5.1
On version 1.5.0 used to be play&pause button
Make sure that channels groups are still in your playlist.
Why does Perfect Player IPTV not support the video hard decoding of China Mobile Magic Box M301H Haisi 3798MV300 chip. When is this software fully compatible with video hard decoding on some chip boxes?
Try to select different Decoder in Settings->Playback->Decoder.
In “Settings” – > “Play” – > “Decoder”, the device has chosen different decoding methods and tried several times to fail to decode properly, installing other players app can decode and play normally, whether chip model 3798 mv100 is incompatible with Perfect Player app decoding. Can we solve the problem of decoder compatibility in the next new version of Perfect Player?
Great App. Top on my desire list for future updates is to be able to manually arrange my Favourite channels
You can manually change channels order when in Settings->Advanced->Channels management mode.
Explored this, but, I still would like to be able to rearrange my Favourites order by being able to move around the channels manually because as it is Channels mode Auto sorts the Channels. @Nikman, please bear with my whining of an otherwise Superb Fee App that allows me to combine my different services in one place along with their Programme guides.
You can manually change channels order by means of “Channels management mode”. Use “Up”/”Down” keys to sort, “Left”/”Right” to change selected channel and long “Left”/”Right” to change channels group.
Thank you! This is yet another awesome feature added along with the voice search I use ALL the time.
1st problem:
In Amazon Fire TV Stick 4k Gen 2 the EPG collapse every 4-5 Days. I have to rename the EPG URL and start it new. Then it works for another 4-5 days. Can you fix the bug?
2nd problem:
Some channels freeze or doesnt start, maybe a codec problem. With other players is no problem.
This problem appears only on 4k Gen 2.
1. FAQ: EPG data stopped showing after several days (Android)
2. Try to select different Decoder in Settings->Playback->Decoder
Hey Nik, good job, thanks for the app. I’m using it for years. Have a problem now! I have integrated the epg into the m3u, now these epg are no longer active and I have to replace them in the m3u. The player takes over the new only if I delete the old ones in the menu. But I can not get to all my players and want to solve this from m3u. Do you have ideas?
Users would need to remove all EPG URL/URLs in settings, then a new EPG URL/URLs from M3U playlist will be applied.
OK That’s a problem. But thanks.
Using the EPG-IPTV service for EPG and find that my IPTV providers EPG works much better. The only feature that it offers worth the cost is the ability to edit channels (delete, hide and move) in each channel group. This feature would great in PP. The other nice thing about being able to do this is it automaticly updates all my devices using PP with this EPG service without having to go to each device and manually modify each one.
Love the new theme
Is this beta version also available on firetv sticks?
You can install it from APK.
Is it possible to add the subtitles or closed captions (teletext) to all decoders.
When I use HW+ the video stutters, I don’t know why and my previous box I didn’t have this problem.
Please could we have the info at the bottom how it used to be… Not at the top Mess with my OCD
Thanks
Is it possible to add an option to use an external player as the decoders within Perfect Player app appear to struggle with playing some content on some of my devices. I am happy to send you an account to test this out should you wish. Thanks
I agree with Chris’s request would be nice to have other options since the built-in decoders do have some issues with some streams. Don’t get me wrong I appreciate your hard work that would be nice to be able to use other players with it. Might take some headache away from you in the process.
You could send an acccount for testing.
Also, you could try different streaming protocols – in playlist URL replace with
output=ts,output=m3u8,output=hls.sorry for such a generic question, but i cant seem to find a straight answer…
what is the difference between m3u8, ts, and hls?
is any one of them better than the other with an xtream codes provider?
thanks!
HLS TS
Yep, tried to make sense of those. Too technical for me. Was just hoping someone had some quick insight on if/why one is better than the others for basic IPTV streaming (ie- less buffering, better quality, etc). No worries.
You can try different protocol if you have any playback issues.
hello nikman I have the problem that on the perfect player 1.1.4 on pc the vod german movies Do not open All other stations work well Where’s the problem please help
Perfect Player 1.5.1 beta3, not loading all channels logo, changed back to 1,5 then they worked fine.
Could you, please, retry (maybe just not all logos had been downloaded) or send us more info on how can we reproduce it?
I’ve been seeing the same through a quite a few updates. From a fresh install, It takes 3 or 4 forced updates(update>>down button) to successfully download all logos. Could possibly be amount of channels is too much for PP but it appears to stop downloading logos before it’s complete.
To reproduce, clear PP data and add your playlists or XC login. Wait for the download to complete, check the epg and not all logos have been downloaded. Do a forced update a few times and eventually, all that are available from epg supplier download.
All logos are downloaded at the background. This could take a while depending on logos amount. You don’t need to make several updates – just wait for a while and logos will appear.
I just tried to reinstall beta3 again and still the same problem not all logos get loaded, but when i got back to 1.5 then all are loaded.
Could you send your playlist just to find and fix the issue?
Info bar still postioned on top even after selected bottom in settings.
You need to restart the app after changing this option.
Hello, is it possible to copy the settings of PP from one device to another? I’m trying to clone the configuration of channels from one tvbox to another. Fantastic product. Thanks for your good job.
Settings->Defaults->Backup/Restore settings
If you can get this app to record like my tv online app on formuler boxes you will be the best ever.
Thanks
Works Perfect…thanks for your grest support. No.1
Crashing on Android Tv Os mi box s
– How about previuos app versions?
– When it happens (on startup, after some actions, etc.)?
– Could you give more details?
Last beta worked fine, seems to happen when going from channel to channel, channel surfing I guess.
Xiaomi MiBox is known to have “buggy” firmware:
– Try to select different Decoder in Settings->Playback->Decoder
– Check for the latest device firmware updates
Good afternoon, I’d like to know how you stand in configuration transperency (2 default)and info bar timeout (8 seconds)??i have the android box and the perfect player apk 1.5.0
FAQ: What are Full version features?
and you should really add ac3 filter as to work with all playback options as it is really annoying having to keep changing between profiles
Really love your app. I like the new Graphite theme a lot, and the little bar that shows how much is buffered is really cool, but I noticed it seems to be pretty laggy when scrolling through the EPGs and menus. Other themes don’t seem to have this problem and scroll without any lag.
Anyways please keep up the great work!
What’s the device?
“Graphite” theme could requires a bit more CPU/GPU resources.
3.7go of memory on samsung
It s normal or not ?
Could you, please, contact by email for support?
nikman@niklabs.com
can the buffer size be double from 4 to 8 or even 10 to facilitate those who suffering with a poor internet providers?
The buffer size would not matter in this case let me explain further if you pick the maximum buffer size it would take longer to fill up and what eventually buffer anyway it increases legacy. Your best option would be to stick with SD channels instead of HD channels
With my comment above being said do you think there is a way to filter out HD channels so that only SD channels would show to eliminate buffering with slow internet speeds would be a nice option in my opinion
thanks…. that makes sense, but I feel its due to the server I am getting my content from. I have HD Channels that don’t buffer and I have SD channels that buffering
I think it’s really a hosting server issue
Either create new folders and move sd channels into them or save sd channels as favourites and select show favourites
Are there any intentions to add the capability for an A-Z sorting option for VOD folder content and/or content within each folder? Thanks for the hard work
Thanks for the feature request. We are going to add “Search” function for VOD content.
great
A-Z would be an awesome feature to have also
Can you please add decent image upscaling options? On Android the player uses the default bilinear scaling which is really low quality. More and more android players offer high quality upscaling for SD channels since more and more boxes have hardware capable to do it. This is a huge difference and a game changer for people watching some SD channels.
seems to b working great,
Love this app. New graphite skin is great.
A few further tweaks would make the app complete. None seem like huge coding jobs.
(1) Channel search functionality – change the UI to the keyboard as used in the settings, the current one is v hard to use, also slow on some devices as it’s loading dynamically after each letter which IMO is not essential. Also extend the search functionality to the VOD section.
(2) Info bar – information shows for live channels, but not for VOD – presumably it could easily by reading the ‘Description tag’ if it’s VOD?
(3) The folder list page down when pressing Right was a great addition in last update. Ideally there would be a way to page Up / Page down quickly on the channel list (EPG). This would help where some folders have hundreds of streams (usually VOD)
(4) Archive – only show it as a context menu icon if the channel actually has archive enabled.
Hope that at least some of these things can be done! Happy to provide more info if needed.
Keep up the great work!
