Hello from Freiburg, Germany!

Today I booted my MAG 254 and a window popped up: New Update !

Device info is telling now: RootFS Version: 0.2.18-r11-254 Wed Mar 18 17:58:59 EET 2015

I did the Firmware update with F1 and it rebooted fine. Now we must look for the new Features.

The first I saw was that now in Servers also the MAG 254 can set more than two Portals like on the AuraHD Plus and AuraHD International Second Edition boxes. Nice!

F1 More: Opens Multportal mode for 8 Portals max.

Question here: When multiple portal mode is selected, I can no longer switch portal. Whenever I do a portal reload, it goes back to the same server (default server). How do I switch between portals when the multiple server mode is selected? Or should I open a new thread for this question? Thanks

[alphablondy]

I went to the inner portal to update as well. F1 does bring up a new menu for additional portals. I guess you have to fill out portal 2 in order to get the full 8.

[ladysmith]

Went in to inner portal and it loaded the latest software RootFS Version: 0.2.18-r11-254 Wed Mar 18 17:58:59 EET 2015. I have mine set to auto update and as soon as I went into the inner portal it loaded the the new r11 software.

[EPAPRESS]

And now - with this r11 update - both MAG devices, the MAG 250 and the MAG 254, are more than ever!

Since today I have 4 Portals on my MAG 254 to use. Wonderful!

OK, my other devices: AuraHD Plus (MAG 255/AuraHD2) and AuraHD International Second Edition (MAG 255/AuraHD8) had this fine Multiportal mode also in Firmware r10...

But also my AuraHD International Second Edition has got a new update:
Build 0.2.18-r11-255

Are you able to switch between portals after activating multiple portals? For me I can only access the default server that it is set to, whenever I select "reload portal". I am able to access the inner portal through "Go to the inner portal".

[alphablondy]

not sure what you mean jimmy but once your in the inner portal , click settings, system settings, servers, this brings you to Portals. 2 are listed , you have to select F1 for more, then turn on multiportal mode to gain access to the 8. hope that helps.

[FCSI]

I also did the new updated went into inner portal it automatic down loaded the new r11 software. Thanks guys keep up all the good work staff and members!!!

[bigdummy]

not having any probs with any VOD selections??

No prob with the VOD , just when playing certain downloaded .avi's. still the same after the update to r11 firmware
will try to narrow the problem down further but as before , no problem playing on jynxbox or with vlc player

I did that and I can access up to 8 servers too. The thing is I am using three servers, (two others plus iptvprivateserver).

My problem: Before activating the multiple portals, I could switch from one portal/server from any particular server, by pressing RELOAD PORTAL, then I will see an option to load the embeded server or load the other two servers. So if I am in the IKS server, and I press the settings and chose RELOAD PORTAL, and then OK at the prompt if I want to restart portal, I will see the four things. EMBEDDED PORTAL, THE TWO PORTALS I CONFIGURED, & SYSTEMS SETTINGS. However when multiple server is activated, and restart the portal, the DEFAULT portal is loaded automatically. But should I chose to steam from another server and select the RELOAD PORTAL from within that server, it will ONLY load back the server that is configured as the default server. So if IKS is in portal 2 and another server in portal 1 is the default server, I cannot access IKS, and the same if I switch IKS that is still in portal 2 as the default, then I can only access IKS because it is the default server.

So my question to you is? Do you have more than one servers activated (F1) and if so, how do you move from one to the other?

[bigdummy]

did you try leaving the first portal slot empty?

[K00lKatT]

have you tried the menu button?....are you turning the unused portals off when not using??

you r right.....with only 2 portals you can switch back and forward reloding the portal....with multiple on you can only load 1 and to load the other one you have to reset every time...
The way I solved is using 2 private servers in my #2 slot (with SIPTV) and NFPS in #1 slot

[Pedro49]

I have 4 portals in mine , and can switch between them easily .404

[frostycold]

It's easy to switch between Portals. When you reload, just press the menu button and the list of available portals pop up.

thanx

When I set up mine , I just went with default settings , I can not remember what they were . I would suggest trying different settings and see how you go on . You can change the PORTAL LOAD DELAY to 1,5,10,30 sec 1min 2min or WITHOUT AUTOSTART

[EPAPRESS]

I have collected the needed steps to activate Portal 3-8:

1) Got to System Settings > Servers > Portals > Press F1 (Red Button on the remote)
2) Multiportal mode: ON > 3xDOWN
3) Choose Portal: 3 > Use portal 3: ON
4) Press DOWN > Name 3: Insert Name or left free > DOWN > URL 3: Insert your Server address
5) Press OK to save
6) Same procedure for Portal 4,5,6,7,8

ladysmith told us all the features and here is the original INFOMIR site to that new Firmware update:

[kevind1234]

I did the update but I'm still seeing only two options to add portals not seeing the 8 you mentioned.

[Bkman2020]

Go to portals then click on f1 on your remote, there you will enable multi portal.

[kevind1234]

I'm in the inner portal and the options I see are Embedded portal, Portal 1, Portal 2 and System settings. Not seeing an option for portal

[kevind1234]

From where exactly do I access portals?

[kdawg64]

look in the stickies, will have everything you require


From where exactly do I access portals?

[kevind1234]

I found it but when I turned on the option and select 8 portals then save and close. I went back to portals but still seeing only 2 portal option available.

[kevind1234]

Can someone tell me exactly how to set-up the multi-port option

[Bkman2020]

You will need to use second portal to activate 8 portals

[Bkman2020]

move down url info portal to second url portal then enable multiportal then choose how many portals u want
