You are supposed to be able to export and import bouquets usinq OpenWebif Bouquet Editor - but I don't know where it puts the exported file, so it makes it impossible to point it at a file to import! It would be good if you could export a file to an Excel spreadsheet. Maybe this could be added in a...

Ukind

Slightly off topic but if you back up your bouquets where are they stored? If you do a clean install are these bouquets removed?

I ask because I setup my favourite channels with lots of spacers in the web interface and rename some channels and it does take quite a while.

Ukind

Thanks for the info guys, I think that I will play it safe and just wait for a replacement power supply. I hope that I will be able to get it quickly. My U4 has been out of action for 17 days now after the initial problem with my unit was first raised. It would be great to get a quick response. When...

Ukind

I just got my repaired U4 back and it looks like my power supply has died on me. The green light flickers on and off. I have a few spare power supplies around the house. I don't want to damage the unit. Can anyone give me the specs of what it needs to be? Is it a case of if it fits in the hole then ...

Ukind

Still waiting & hoping that we can get a guide for this

Did you change the play button setting?

Not that I am aware of. I just checked the button settings & it is working properly now. I must have messed it up somehow. Thanks for the help!

Ukind

I was wondering if anyone is having issues with the play/pause function on the remote? I did add a comment to MrQuade's post in bug reporting. I have a 4K tv & whenever I pause during timeshifting or playback of a recorded program the playback will not resume it will advance a few frames at a ti...

Hi, I have received requests for the U4 Pronto HEX codes. I think it would be easier for all if I posted the code lists here. Please note that I do not have a Beyonwiz U4 so I am unable to test these codes. Also, the codes for RECALL (Function 254) and ZAP HISTORY (Function 255) are undocumented bu...

I guess that I used to occasionally view YouTube TV. I never gave it much thought & didn't use it much on my T4 as I used to watch YouTube in 4K through my Nvidia Shield TV. I was hoping that I could watch YouTube TV in 4K. Maybe they haven't added it to the U4 because of issues???

Are you talking about the U4 not having YouTube TV? If so, I don't know why it's not available on the U4.

Yes, on the T4 I never really used it but when I did it looked like a standard YouTube interface but on the U4 when I try to access YouTube it does not look good at all.

Ukind

I am pretty happy with my U4. I did edit the TV channel names so that the front panel display looks a bit nicer. I also edited the channel order for favourites through OpenWebif. The new interface for it is nice but I wish that the autotimers would all display down the side like the older version. A...

Ukind

What I do not like about the display is the red colouring. I have had a quick look through the options but have not found any settings that improve the display to my liking. Is there anything that anyone recommend to make it look a bit better?

A new version was released a few months ago.

On Android, you have to uninstall the old version and install the new one. iOS version can just be upgraded.

Cheers for that, this is going to be a short thread!

Ukind

I just setup my U4 & was surprised that the android app that I had previously been using would not work. Will there be an update so that it will work in the future?

Ukind

How do you login to YouTube? I must be missing something because I cannot seem to be able to do this like I could with my T4.

1. At this stage no significant difference. That may change in the future if/when the WIZTV button is co-opted to expand functionality.

Can you tell us more about this? I was wondering what the WIZTV button does.

Ukind

Was I right in hearing that someone was able to playback a 4K HDR file? I haven't looked into YouTube yet, I am pretty sure that it will not playback YouTube 4K HDR but does it do 4K? I am not home to see if it does... I've tested one 4k@60 HDR HEVC file and it worked beautifully. I did try some 4K...

Ukind

The improved startup speed is probably mostly just due its faster processor. Startup does very little on the HDD (or SSD in your case). The processor must be a lot quicker than the T4 then, the bootup time really blew me away. Was I right in hearing that someone was able to playback a 4K HDR file? ...

Ukind

I know that there are quite a few people who have updated to the U4 & that there would be many others that are wondering if they should take the plunge so I wondered if people that have got the U4 could share their thoughts. For me I was surprised at how fast the unit boots up, it seems to be si...

Ukind

I do use the cutlist editor quite a bit & have always hoped that an updated version would appear. It would be great if it could actually be frame accurate (I didn't think that it was possible) with slow motion forward or backwards commands. I do not know if this version is that accurate. So will...

Ukind

Yep I can confirm that is the same noise that I have and without the fan running. Very noticeable. Hopefully firmware can fix it but it won't help me as my unit won't boot.

Ukind

Ok so I also have the same issue, I have an SSD installed so I expected it to be very quiet. The fan was not even running & I could hear it even above the tv volume. Unfortunately, my unit is stuck on "booting" so it looks like it may have to be returned. Interestingly the noise disapp...

Ukind

I think that there is probably some sort of fault with my unit. I installed an SSD & did an online update. As I had not had an SSD in a PVR before I thought that I would get close to it & listen to see if it was much quieter. Much to my surprise there was an unusual noise coming from the uni...

Ukind

I did download the updated beta USB image for the U4 but I cannot get it to update. Can anyone tell me if they have managed to get it to install from a USB drive? I am using the same USB drive that I used previously with the T4 but without success.

Ukind

Mine is in Netley SA so I will be getting mine on Monday, for once Australia Post is doing well. Looking forward to getting it & hoping to hear some thoughts on the unit. Are there any new threads about initial impressions?

Ukind

I guess that a lot of us got the shipping information received notification. I wonder if they will actually start moving today though?

Ukind

I ordered a BB unit on the 17th Nov, hopefully I may still get it shipped soon.

Ukind

I was thinking the same thing. Mine has a 500GB HDD.

Ukind

Is there a recent update on when we may get the units delivered? Will we get a tracking email?

Ukind

I have pre ordered a barebones unit. Someone said about getting a smaller SSD I think that I will do the same thing. Personally I don't like having too much stuff sitting there waiting to be watched. I was thinking of a Samsung 500gb SSD but did notice that the sandisk units are a bit cheaper. Any s...

Ukind

I was more interested in using it for YouTube, I have other devices that I actually use for YouTube so I was more curious than anything.

Ukind

Can anyone recommend a bluetooth dongle that may work?

Ukind

I am pretty happy with my T4 but I always like the latest & greatest. I have an LG Oled & currently I playback 4K H265 files via a Nvidia Shield TV which is a great bit of kit. That unit will playback HDR files but does not support YouTube HDR. Does anyone know if the U4 will do HDR on YouTu...

Ukind

Has anyone else loaded the LG software update [05.30.02] as yet? Still all working correctly here. Yes I have loaded it & it seems Ok. I had gone back to a clean install of the latest beta & it was working Ok for a couple of days before the LG update. Fingers crossed that it is going to be ...

Don't know about the others but mine is 4K.

Mine is 4K also. I was running the 19/04/2016 (4.4) firmware all day & things were looking good for about 12 hours. Now the issue is back again.

Ukind

I've now tried 2015-11-04. Clean install declined online update. Same problem. Interestingly TV would not display at all during update process. Had to rely on front panel. Have you tried the firmware (4.4) from 2016-08-17? I have had it running for a few hours & have not had the dropout issue. ...

Does changing the length/gauge of the HDMI cable make a difference? How long are the HDMI cables used by those with persistent problems? How long are the cables used by people with intermittent issues? I have tried a few different HDMI cables mostly about 1.8m long & also changed the input of t...

Ukind

So there is still a lot of confusion over this issue. I finally have my laptop back so I can try to do some more testing. Have the testing boundaries now changed? Are there additional tests that need to be looked at & are there some that do not need to be done? Is there any logical reason why ev...

Ukind

Now we just need a few other people to install the latest beta firmware & do some testing. If it works for me I cannot see why it would not work for everyone else. I did make sure to do a clean install I think that it the best way to see if it is fixed. So fingers crossed, I guess that we would ...

Ukind

I installed the latest beta (beyonwiz-17.5 20170713). Did a clean install & then tested a few things. Played back 10 different recordings ranging from HD to SD, small files, large files, resumed playback, started from the beginning etc. Used a stopwatch & made sure that I played back each fi...

Ukind

What adds to my confusion is that if I use the T4 as a pvr through the kodi pvr enigma2 plugin through my Nvidia Shield TV it does not display this issue. If anything I would have thought that it would be worse.

Ukind

It has usually dropped out about the 20 second mark but I thought that I should clarify it. I would suspect that it is the same for other people. It certainly doesn't drop out immediately and thought that it could be important to mention.

Ukind

I am hoping that if I can get my laptop back before the weekend I will be able to do some testing. I will go over this thread & try to gather as much information as I can. Something that may be worth mentioning is that when playing back a file the picture does not drop out until about 20 seconds...

Ukind

My laptop is being repaired so if someone else can test the various firmwares it would be appreciated. When I get it back I will go over the information and do some testing.

Ukind

Looks like I spoke too soon. I played back some files & it worked fine but it exhibited the same problem again. At least it has not happened with every file. I just tested a couple of files & it only dropped out for a couple of seconds which is fine with me. I don't have many files to playba...

Ukind

I just updated to the latest beta (beyonwiz-17.5 20170711) & tried to playback a couple of video files. It looks like the issue has been resolved. Nice work, well done!!!

Ukind

I am personally just impressed at the support that the main contributors provide. I know that there would be no chance that LG would be interested in helping. I think that this issue can probably be resolved with the help of you all. If it worked Ok previously then hopefully it can be fixed. Slightl...

Ukind

Sorry if I made a mistake, the quoting method on here is a bit confusing. So on the latest update that I have done (the one with the issue)

Firmware version: MENU>Information>About>Last Upgrade 2017-07-06 21:13
Driver version: MENU>Information>About>Drivers 2016-04-05

Ukind

Not sure if it is relevant but just to make things even more confusing (to me at least), I was watching something that I was recording & during the adverts I skipped forward & there were not dropouts. I then stopped what I was watching & resumed & it did not drop out again. Does the...
