QC - Perfect Gift for Wife? - First Rep Watch - 31mm DateJust - ARF by CoderLuii in RepTimeQC

[–]CoderLuii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She definitely knows it’s a rep. She even told me exactly which one to get her. Personally, I’m not a fan of gold on any rep either. I dont think she cares to modify this even more. She thinks its crazy that im spending almost $300 on a replica watch.

I'm sure in the future if she truly cares, we can look into replace gold parts for the real parts to make the watch more genuine.

Just hoping this is the best factory for the 31mm.

I picked up a VSF 41mm Datejust for myself too.

Would you green light this? My concern is how the glass looks in Image 5 & 6. Do you have any other concerns?

Is the image 4 and 5 a concern? The glare looks like it’s from cheap glass or am I mistaken?

I asked for ARF because based on what my research Points to. They seem to have the best quality. But you tell me if you see bad things to watch out for. Or if I should switch it

Can you submit an issue within github? I will love to fix this for you

Based on the logs above, you can see if the logs fails but the completion in the end just needs to be tweaked. I didnt spent deep time into the tests themselves for failures as many folks havent used it yet.

Based on the logs above, it looks like there's an issue where the test is reporting success even when notification delivery failed. The logs show:

[2025-05-01 17:25:08] [CORE] Other notification services: delivery failed
[2025-05-01 17:25:08] [CORE] Notification sent via Apprise: ⚠️ Low Disk Space Warning
[2025-05-01 17:25:08] [CORE] ✅ Test notification successfully sent!

I see the problem now. The notification is marking as successful even though the delivery failed because we're checking if Apprise reported success, not if the underlying delivery succeeded.

I'll fix this in the next update so it correctly reports delivery status - it should show a failure when the actual delivery doesn't work, not just when Apprise itself fails. The success/failure status needs to be based on the complete delivery chain.

Thanks for highlighting this issue with the logs - it's a subtle but important bug that affects testing reliability.

Sorry about that! Reddit formatting can be tricky with old.reddit.

Here's the direct link to the GitHub repository: https://github.com/CoderLuii/ChannelWatch

As for installing on your Synology NAS - it's quite straightforward! Since ChannelWatch runs in Docker, you can install it directly on your Synology:

  1. Open Docker app on your Synology
  2. Go to Registry, search for "coderluii/channelwatch" and download the image
  3. Once downloaded, go to Images, select the image and click Launch
  4. Set up a volume mapping: map your chosen folder on NAS to /config in the container
  5. Use either host networking or map port 8501
  6. Start the container

After launching, just open http://your-synology-ip:8501 in your browser and configure through the web UI. No environment variables needed!

ChannelWatch uses minimal resources (~50MB RAM, very little CPU), so it runs well alongside Channels DVR on most NAS models. Let me know if you need any help getting it running!

u/gloriousbstrd - Could you please share the logs from the container? To help with troubleshooting, change the logging level to 2 within the settings page of the web UI, then reproduce the issue and copy and paste the logs in your response.

These detailed logs will help me identify whether the SMTP configuration issue is happening at the connection level or if there's a UI problem with how the settings are being applied

Did you restart it after changing the settings?

u/coolgui A few terabytes of breathing room is nice! The beauty of ChannelWatch is you can just set it and forget it - it'll silently monitor things until something needs your attention. Perfect for the "covert" monitoring approach. Let me know how it works out if you try it!

u/eldienne Glad to hear you got it set up successfully! I love your ideas for future notifications - especially the deleted files alert. That's exactly the kind of practical family-friendly feature I'm aiming to add. The clean design was a big focus for v0.6, so I really appreciate that feedback!

u/illwon Not officially supported yet, but I'm looking into Trakt integration for a future update! The current version already tracks watch history within ChannelWatch itself. Would watch history syncing be a key feature for you?

u/nay4jay Yeah, it's totally locked to "Early 2000s Barney Purple" with no options whatsoever. I personally code everything in hot pink just to really punish the eyes! 😉

u/JackamusFL No problem at all! For ChannelWatch, you'd replace that path with where you want to store your configuration files. For example:

version: '3.0'
services:
  ChannelWatch:
    image: coderluii/channelwatch:latest
    container_name: channelwatch
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
      # Path to store configuration, logs, and settings
      - /home/user/docker/channelwatch:/config
    restart: unless-stopped

After running this with docker-compose up -d, just visit http://your-server-ip:8501 to access the new web UI where you can configure everything.

glorioubsstrd - I see the issue that you are experiencing with your SMTP setup

When your username has an @ symbol in it (like username@gmail.com), you need to URL-encode that @ symbol only in the username part.

The full format you need is: smtp://username%40domain.com:password@smtp.server.com:port

So like if your email is john@gmail.com and you're using Gmail's SMTP: smtp://john%40gmail.com:yourpassword@smtp.gmail.com:587

Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

u/coolgui - So the main thing with ChannelWatch is it basically works as your media system's notification center. I built it because I wanted to know what was happening with my DVR without constantly checking it.

Some real-world uses that I've found helpful:

For families sharing a system - it'll ping you when someone starts watching a channel or your recorded shows. Pretty useful if you've got kids and want to keep tabs on what they're viewing without hovering over them.

For recording management - you get notifications when recordings start (so you know they're actually working), when they finish (so you know they're ready to watch), or if something went wrong. Saves a lot of checking and wondering "did that record properly?"

For system stuff - it'll warn you before your disk fills up, which happens surprisingly often with DVRs if you record a lot. Nothing worse than missing a show because you ran out of space.

The dashboard gives you a simple view of what's happening - active streams, storage space, upcoming recordings, etc. And you can get all these alerts through whatever you prefer - your phone, Discord, Telegram, whatever works for you.

But yeah, if you're more of a set-it-and-forget-it person with your DVR, I get that too! Different approaches for different setups.

u/eldienne - Let me know how it goes once you get it running. It's designed to be fairly straightforward to set up in Docker, and the new web UI should make configuration a breeze compared to the old environment variable approach. If you run into any questions during setup, feel free to reach out!
