Can I use my Formuler box with uPlay?
Yes, absolutely. Formuler boxes are one of the most popular IPTV options on the market and work brilliantly with uPlay. What makes Formuler special is the in-house developed app MYTVOnline — a powerful and fast IPTV app designed specifically to deliver a premium streaming experience.
Which app should I use?
Which version of MYTVOnline to use depends on your Formuler model:
| Model | App |
|---|---|
| Older models (Z7, Z8 Pro and earlier) | MYTVOnline |
| Newer models (Z8, Z10) | MYTVOnline2 |
| Latest model (Z11) | MYTVOnline3 |
Not sure which model you have? Check the underside of the box or look in the system information under settings.
Connect via Xtream API — step by step
We recommend connecting via Xtream API for the best compatibility with uPlay. This gives you access to the full range of content — live TV, movies, series, EPG and catch-up.

| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Portal URL | Your server address from uPlay |
| Username | Your uPlay username |
| Password | Your uPlay password |
| Portal Name | uPlay |
- Press Save or Connect
- The app will now connect to uPlay and load your content automatically

Tips for the best experience
Use a wired connection
Connect your Formuler box directly to the router via a network cable. This provides a significantly more stable connection compared to WiFi and reduces the risk of buffering, especially when streaming 4K content.
Keep the firmware up to date
Formuler regularly releases firmware updates that improve performance and stability. Check under Settings → System → System Update that you're running the latest version.
Enable automatic EPG updates
To always have an up-to-date programme guide, enable EPG Auto Update in the app's settings. This updates the guide automatically without you having to do it manually.
Frequently asked questions
Does uPlay work on all Formuler models?
Yes. uPlay works with all Formuler models that support MYTVOnline, MYTVOnline2 or MYTVOnline3. This includes the Z7, Z8, Z8 Pro, Z10 and Z11.
Can I use an M3U link instead of Xtream API?
Yes, MYTVOnline also supports M3U playlists. However, we recommend Xtream API as it provides better EPG integration, catch-up support and automatic updates.
Channels won't load — what could be wrong?
Check that the server address, username and password have been entered correctly. Also verify that the box is connected to the internet and that your uPlay subscription is active. Restart the app and try again.
Can I use the same uPlay account on the Formuler box and another device?
Yes. You can install uPlay on multiple devices with the same account. Remember that you can only stream on one device at a time per subscription.
