[ismarttv]

Hello RipperX,
Do you have a mag256 with integrated wifi?

 

[RipperX]

Yes ismarttv. my magbox can be directly plugged in or it can also use wifi. In my case I use the wifi because i share a house and my lanlord has the modem and router in her room. I hope you have seen this before and knowhow to fix it..never had a problem then all ofa sudden this!. Thanks

I don’t if it’s thé same issue but when I tried to set up automatically thé network (wired or wireless I don’t remember), it crashed the Mag. The boot loops or crashes after loading the networks settings. I solved it by entering manually the network settings.

Then I will consider it a defective box. My first MAG 256w2 was also defective. It restarted all the time, so I could not get into the menu once.

Hi, try to enter to the network menu and choose manual settings. Enter manually your IP, network mask, gateway and dns.

when you put power to the box try click the menu button or hold it down it should take you too the setup menu if not then it is broken

I have the exact same problem on my mag254, i have tried many different things factory default, installing an older firmware and no matter what the volume is very low. Before the problem started i use put my soundbar on 9 out 50 and would be loud, after the update i have to put i at 40 out 50 just to be able to hear voices.
The "solution" that is working for me, is to use the portal from siptv and then use the m3u8 from here, then the volume is back to normal. If i use the poral from here the standard stalker portal the volume is still low.
You can try the portal from siptv for free for 7 days to see if it works for you. Personally i prefer the gui from siptv, all the channels will still be the same because you use the channel list from here.

Yes, it support HEVC

If the 256 supports HEVC why do I have sound but no picture?

Hello. The MAG boxes come and update the EPG automatically. You do not have to do anything.

Thank you for your reply.That's also what i thought. I did an update and have also rebooted the mag box. I only see times but no list of programs that are airing. Are iptv subscriptions from rapidiptv supposed to work with the mag box ? are there any suggestions to get epg working in my case ?

 

[uriX]

Rapid IPTV supports EPG. But it's not all channels that have EPG. try it on another device and see if it works. If that does not work, contact your reseller.

Hi,
I have tried several providers with my mag 256 and always the same problem when I want to see "video club" it says "server unavailable" tv channels are ok.
If I bring my magbox to a friends house it works fine? Can anyone tell me what the problem eventually is?

Thanks a lot for helping me with this ongoing problem.!!!

Hello,

Infomir released new firmware and all boxes need to be updated. Use exactly portal that you received from your reseller and change DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1

DNS on MAG box change to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1 > System settings > Network > Wired (Ethernet) > Auto (DHCP), manual DNS

Hi,
Is there any way you could get subtitle in mag256 or is it still impossible?

 

[West Ham Pete]

Hi, On the remote there is a button labelled ‘APP’. Use this to select subtitle options if available.

Ok thank you =)

Is it possible to watch netflix on mag256?

 

[West Ham Pete]

I cannot find a way to do it on the mag. I use an Amazon fire stick plugged into my TV’s HDMI slot, assuming you don’t have a smart tv
