I do not see any new push for the mag254
It is not showing thru http on the mag254 itself or at their firmware website.

There was, as of yet an unofficial file for the Mag256.
But that is not on infomir website either.

Thnx guys

I do know there has been an expected new file push for the newer 256 model. The new file for that showed up about a week or so ago on the web, but was not pushed thru the box yet.

Far as this 254 r16 fileand what the update is for, Bkman prolly has the answer

I made your thread into a Sticky thread kingkong.
We can use it for a discussion thread concerning this new firmware update.


I have noticed something new with the mag 254 after the newest update r16
There was another that posted same thing but do not know if he has updated to new firmware yet.

The functions become un-reponsive when scrolling Live channels.
I see it coming because the channels will all go dark no matter which channel I go to, then it gets stuck on a channel and will not respond.
Needs a reboot by unplugging it, to gain back response and channels.

Has happened 3 times since the new update was installed last night.

Is this a problem with the update ?
Anyone see this same thing, please report and which firmware your mag 254 may have onboard.

thnx

things have not gotten any better with the r16 firmware... so I went back to the r14

You can still update back to the r14 thru your receiver (no need for USB loading)
The r14 is still on the server, but you have to go into inner portal and then Settings and then Software Update.
It should show as the r14 there ready for update.

Also noticed since I went back to r14 is that in that inner portal settings menu, there are icons that disappeared with the r16 but came back with the r14

The 3 games dissapeared with the r16

I updated to R16 and I kept getting a connection problem box. Even though internet is working fine. But the Box kept throwing the connection out. So reverted back to the R14 and it seems to be working fine. If you guys want the URL link for R14 let me know.

you should sill be able to update back to the r14 , just thru the mag and the internet connection (see post #18 shown above)

But here is the link for firmware and the tutural as well

When does it give an error and what error is it ?

okay, but lets try thru the receiver and http again, that is easiest method.

depending where you are at in the menu screens, get into the Inner Portal.
If you are in Live TV and Video Club viewing menus, then scroll over till you see the Settings tab and then in there is a 'Go to Inner Portal' option.
Then into the next Settings tab you will see there.
Then in there ensue it shows...
Autoupdate : With Confirmation
Update beta versions = On

Then use the green button on remote (update Manually).
Then with New Version slot highlighted, use the bottom left hand button on your remote (as pictured on that New Version slot). That function will bring up any and all versions available. The r14 and the r16 should be there.

If not, then exit back to where the menu screen shows the 'Select a portal for loading'

It gives you chooses of Embedded Portal and your server URL portal and the System settings Portal
Go into Settings.
Then scroll the next screen down till you see the Software Update option.
Open that and it should show ..
Update Method : HTTP
URL : http://mag.infmir.com.ua/254/r2/imageupdate

Then OK to verify....
Then Exit back out and into Embedded Portal and into Settings and back into Software autoupdate and the green button again.


lets us know how that works, and if any errors, what are they ?

nice to hear :)

If you ever want to know how to do the USB method, I think we have a tuturail for that here somewhere, or at the infomir website the tutural can be found.
Any questions, don't be afraid to ask :)

With that r16 not working at the best on the mag254 and this r17 release, it seems logical that infomir has been watching the results.
Could be that the 250 and 254 are test runs for the mag256 firmware update, which has been anticipated.


This mag254 is working fine with the r17 to this point.

I noticed that my MAG254 had autoupdated to r-17 this morning.
This seems to have fixed an issue I have had with subtitles on HD tv channels.
However I see that now the EPG is not working!
Anbody else with this problem and hopefully a solution?

I've just seen what the EPG problem is caused by, I do not get any confirmation that the ntp address has been saved

suggestions please

And there is no issues after this r17 update with Rocket.
I do not think vapour's issue has to do with the r17 update (could try a few reboots maybe might fix that)
The r16 had some issues.
The r14 was fine.

Burzum
02-23-2017, 01:56 PM
I did not mention what other service I use, I just said I use another service is that against the rules?
Very premature to call it garbage without having tried it or even knowing what I use.
The other service I use there is also a forum, and there it is allowed to discuss other iptv providers, because they are not scared of the competition because they are light years ahead of this service and I should after more than 200 days of testing and as a paying subscriber be allowed to call this complete garbage.

I am sure you are a nice person, but you really make yourself sound stupid. From the beginning I tried to come with constructive criticism, but no one listened. How can It be that every time I mentioned I used another iptv service that was working better for me than this, then in less than an hour I had more than 50 users writing to me in pm about what the service is called. This is not my first user here, but in total I have helped more than 100 people getting proper iptv and will continue saving long as possible. I do not like to getting scammed.
If I get a refund or at least an apology from crazed then I will stop

r14 and r16 and r17 are all still available right there thru your mag receiver.... I just checked and they are all there :)



depending where you are at in the menu screens, get into the Inner Portal.
If you are in Live TV and Video Club viewing menus, then scroll over till you see the Settings tab and scroll down and in there is a 'Go to Inner Portal' option.
Then into the next Settings tab you will see there.
Then in there ensue it shows...
Autoupdate : With Confirmation
Update beta versions = On

Then use the green button on remote (update Manually).
Then with New Version slot highlighted, use the bottom left hand button on your remote (as pictured on that New Version slot). That function will bring up any and all versions available.



Mag does do a reboot automatically after a file has been loaded, but there is also a Reboot Device option, shown in that Settings tab menu.
It may fix that Audio issue.

WARNING: It is required to use new kernel!!! what is kernel

they are referring to the Linux kernel
Every Operating System has a core kernel, windows has their own, linux has their own and so on...
The Kernel is the core of a computer's operating system, with complete control over everything in the system.
It is the first program loaded on start-up. It handles the rest of start-up as well as input/output requests from software, translating them into data-processing instructions for the central processing unit.

When they say kernel update is needed, it just means that they want you to load the new file for the added features or fixed issues.

Couldn't be explained better. And by the way has anybody managed to try already the new PiP support? I do not know how to enable it.

r17 is full of bugs. I am stock on r17 and can't downgrade to previous firmwares. RC features don't work, F4 blue moving channels do not work, F3 yellow favorites does not work, adult channels are now on the adult section of the tv section not DV section. the lock on channels can not be removed, other settings also missing.

Hey Narley are you saying the blue move button is working on your Mag?
My mag is full of problems since the r18 update.
Are you getting channel info and does your update button work?
Also video on demand has no info at all.
Does your channel lineup have that red dot against each channel?

R17 is horrible. So many connection problems.
Just go to settings->software update->
And add http://mag.infmir.com.ua/254/r2/imageupdate

Should revert back to r14

Is this new firmware going to fix "Your stb is blocked call the provider" problem ?
Or is it going to introduce more problems after upgrading with new firmware ?
I see people here downgrading because of problems, so must not be good updating.
I think it is better to stick with the devil you do know rather then the devil you don't know.

On my Mag 254 currently

Device info

Image Version 218
Image description 0.2.18-r10-254

Is Image description same as firmware version ?


Thanks

The recent Image files would not make a difference with this STB Blocked syndrome.


There seems to be some confusion with descibing the Mag's Image Versions and the Image Desciptions

The Image Version can be thought of as a suitcase. The suitcase is the same suitcase that is used to carry around all of the defferent Images files.
Our suitcase can be seen as the 0.2.18 ... or also referred to as simply 218

The actual Image Vesrions are the r10, r12, r14, r16, r17
and some older ones

0.2.18-r14-254

0.2.18-r17-254

I see zhoing that you show the r10... is that a typo or is your firmware that far outdated ?

The r17 has been working fine here since loaded. It was the r16 that was the troublesome Image file (for me anyway).
I went to r17 and never looked back.

I guess the blue button doesn't work and maybe some other functions, but I have not notced as I do not even know what the blue button is for :)

No typo.
I just updated once the firmware, since I got the Mag 254 around couple years ago when IPTV Rocket was first offered.
What newer features are there in later firmwares upgrades ?

Thanks

There always improvements in every update (except that r16, which they have removed now).
The address below will take you to the release notes for r14 and r17
(r16 has been removed)

These release notes can be found in the .txt files included in the file packages.

Does upgrading the firmware delete all the data or favourite IPTV links saved in the internal memory ?
If so, how can we back up the data before we do a firmware upgrade ?


What are the instruction how to update ?

Can we download the firmware on website to pc and copy to usb for upgrading by plugin to usb of Mag 254 ?

What is the url to download from ?

Is there a way to save current firmware just in case we wish to downgrade back to it ?

Thanks

that's cool , thnx Bkman:)



zhong , on this thread , take a look at Post # 3 and Post # 18 and Post #24 and Post #71

All answers are there. Except the erasing user data question.

Loading firmware and a reboot willl not affect the data base or server info
A factory reset will however.

I do not think you can BackUp your user data on the Mag, or I have never come acroos on how to do that.

I loaded 0.2.18-r17-254
version 218r17
dated Feb 20 2017
I find that the mag 254 goes to a blank screen when it loses it's signal.
Then when I try to put on a new channel the mag 2524 locks up.
I have to unplug the mag 254 to have it reboot in order to be able to watch a new channel.
NFPS is really quite bad for this.

Any suggestions?

One thing that may help, or may not.. but it may.

What is the Buffer Size set at ?
Try different values for that setting and test for results.

System Settings > Advanced Settings > Buffer size

I updated my MAG 250 to r17 after doing a factory reset. I have noticed a couple of issues. Buffer keeps resetting itself to 3 seconds. Location not saved in outer portal. Anyone else had these problems?
