Re: General discussion thread - TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU LIKE HERE

I'd love for the Ping Embedder to make a return. 

I used it way back in the day for my streams & people really enjoyed seeing the ping.

We do know that was a feature that people would like to have back so I expect it will be implemented at some point.

Re: General discussion thread - TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU LIKE HERE

I don't think its a bug but with the XR500 device manager all the devices but one or two are showing offline maybe just not fully opperrational from what you guys were saying not everything is fully opperational like the R-apps store being removed for the time being running on 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ plus my pc and ps4 on LAN and phillips hue bridge none the less everything is staying connected and fully online 🙂

We are aware of that, it is a bug so we will be fixing it. Should hopefully have a new build available next week.

Re: General discussion thread - TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU LIKE HERE

Hi Guys,

 

Duma OS3.0 Beta Testing Feedback,

 

I did various tests and Im really excited for the direction in which 3.0 is heading so i hope my feedback will help the devs fix the bugs for final release,Im located in the Middle East for reference purposes.

 

Ping Heat Map

I pinged Call of Duty Warzone and all the servers popped up as expected then i found that you can save your own list of servers,so i did, however,when i found a better server with a lower ping,i deleted the previous list to make a new list but couldnt retrieve the old servers and when i used the Ping Heat Map again to find those servers,they were all removed from the default list with no option to restore.

 

Connection Benchmark

This is one of my favourite features,the speed tests are off though,ive done tests with MLab ,Speedtest.net and my ISPs Speed test firmware,they were all the same except for the Connection Benchmark which showed slower speeds than the other sites,it would be cool to choose a server closest to you to get a better grade,but regardless i love this feature please fix it.

 

Device Manager

I have Mixed feelings with this R-App,in the old firmware when you connect a device or connect an ethernet port it would automatically show the device on the Device Tree and the corresponding lan port would light up White for 1Gbps speed or Amber for lower speeds but with 3.0 this feature is bugged and does not do the above at all after 5 attempts,please fix it.

 

Thats my feedback so far from testing,i will continue to give feedback as newer builds are uploaded.

 

Keep up the great work to the Devs,i have faith in you guys.

 

Regards

V1Z10N aka Hitm4n83

Re: General discussion thread - TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU LIKE HERE

Thank you for your feedback - Device Manager will be fixed for the next build, we'll be implementing a fix for Connection Benchmark as well to get it showing closer to your expected speeds.

Ping Heatmap - it actually removed the set servers from the default list? Could you take a screenshot of this please?

@Netduma-Fraser 

 

 I have the arrow pointing at the Qatar Amazon AWS Cloud Server that i managed to ping at 23ms the first try but since i deleted the previously saved IP,I couldnt ping it again,it just wouldnt come up but when i play Call of Duty im joining via that same AWS Server more often on 3.0 than the previous firmware so it has its Pros and Cons,i hardly get pushed onto higher pings than before,i tried fresh cloud update (to have the IP show up)...still nothing,so i hope you guys can fix this one for us.

Re: General discussion thread - TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU LIKE HERE

I don't think it's been removed I think it's just one of the ones that has failed to ping, if you look down the list on the right do you see it listed?

Re: General discussion thread - TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU LIKE HERE

Not gonna lie was hovering over the buy button this morning after watching @Theillestbeast on the Netduma R2. I am curious when the XR500 firmware will catch up with the R2 firmware especially the Auto QoS setup.

Glad you're liking the features that we've added. We're on track for a new build this week so should be closer to the R2 - might not be exactly the same just yet.

Re: General discussion thread - TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU LIKE HERE

Is there any chance that the adblock feature will be enabled in the next build? Do you have a list of bugs that have been fixed so that we know what to look for and test?

Not as far as I am aware. When we release the new firmware we'll include a change log of what has been fixed so you can check.

Sorry for the late response bruv @Netduma-Fraser  but yeah i dont see it on my list ,but it does ping the server and i do get 23ms ping to it via ping assist which to me indicates it could be a visual bug,that since i deleted the custom server list with the Ip that it doesnt show up on the Ping Heat Map default list but its being pinged in the background,hope my explanation helps yall find a fix for this.

 

Waiting patiently for the next firmware update,keep up the great works guys.

Re: General discussion thread - TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU LIKE HERE

Hi All,

New to the beta testing forum, just loaded xx.63 and loving it so far!

One quick question, I was hoping that device manager would include access control list, or a way to whitelisting MAC Address, is this likely to be added in the future?

Thanks!

Re: General discussion thread - TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU LIKE HERE

It certainly can be yes, I will add it to our roadmap to implement in future.

There are some really good use cases for a well implemented ACL, let me know if you need a hand convincing your team 😀

Yes we'll include the Auto Setup option, not sure if it will be in this latest version or not.

Re: General discussion thread - TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU LIKE HERE

Another good idea would be to be able to create several filters in the geofilter for different games since when I change from apex legends to cod I have to modify the geofilter map.
postscript "geofilter for apex legends is not working properly"

Re: General discussion thread - TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU LIKE HERE

@minino we have discussed several 'tabs' for the Geo-Filter so that's good to hear you'd like something similar. Unlikely to be in 3.0 but maybe 3.1.

I don't seem to have that option.. I checked using my PC and my phone. I have no clue why I wouldn't. Oh well, I guess..
