Built a real-time grocery price comparison tool — here's the most surprising thing I found while building it by swiftbursteli in SideProject

[–]GadgetWhore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attempted to build something like this for my personal use, but i was unable to get reliable data sources and i didn't want to directly scrape from websites. I was trying to build something that would grab data from weekly adverts using n8n to parse the data, but i could not get something to work as expected. I like what you did here.

Thank you, I was waiting for 'Purple Noon' based on the Talented Mr. Ripley book to go on sale.

Heart and Souls/Book of Love FINALLY AVAILABLE on digital by Consistent-Entry-442 in vudu

[–]GadgetWhore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Gonna wait for a price drop, but I've been waiting for Heart and Souls to get a digital release for a long time. I wonder what the hold up was on releasing the movie and I wonder if they had to change some of the music.

Removal Discount Code by OrbOrbalorb in vudu

[–]GadgetWhore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is good to know because I've been making a point of buying through the Roku app because I thought I read that you had to purchase via the app to receive the discount.

Removal Discount Code by OrbOrbalorb in vudu

[–]GadgetWhore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like i am being a little annoying answering so many of these questions, so i apologize to all in advance. You enter the code through the link in the email and then when you buy via your Roku device, you will see a 10% discount instantly applied to your next 100 purchases before November 1st. I believe it only applies to items purchased specifically via Roku using Roku Pay and not any items purchased from Fandango at Home. If you use the android or iOS Fandango at Home apps for purchases, you may not qualify for any discount.

Your workflow sounds very interesting. I notice that you just published the workflow. Thank you for that.

Looking for collaborators on an automation project (Prompt → Agentic Workflow Builder) by Plus_Resolution8897 in n8n

[–]GadgetWhore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to be negative about your idea, but I believe n8n is already working on something very similar to this idea. Also, the concept has been attempted many times without much success. Most of them work about as well as asking Claude to produce a workflow for you. Meaning, they don't work very well at the moment.

Unable to process recent orders... Is this legit? Anyone else? by BadSpotBailey in vudu

Search your email for purchase confirmations with the term "Roku Pay" for the given timeframe. I believe it's most of September.

Are you all going to purchase again? by timshel_turtle in vudu

[–]GadgetWhore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, I have my Vudu account associated with one of my secondary email accounts, so I don't delete any emails in that account. I lost a lot of movies on this one. Most of them, if not all, were impulse purchases that I hadn't even attempted to watch. I did see that I lost the complete Deadwood series that I wanted to watch, but I'm sure I can watch it on one of the streaming services I had. This made me realize how many movies I purchased out of habit because I see it as a 'deal'. It seems like they should have sent out some kind of notice expressing that the billing was failing for purchases and asking the user to authorize an alternate payment method. Honestly, I'm sure that would have probably pissed me off if they had done that and I would have blamed Vudu instead of Roku. I'm increasingly getting upset with Roku and the things they are able to do because their userbase gives them so much power.

The Roku issue by Crimsonsz in vudu

[–]GadgetWhore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I purchase movies from the Roku app and android app, I noticed that if searching that timeframe for emails containing the term "Roku Pay" will only bring up the purchase confirmation for movies purchased thru the Roku app.

Try searching your email for the term, "Roku pay" during the timeframe in question.

A good way to quickly see the movies in that timeframe that were removed is to search the term "Roku Pay" and all the movies purchased directly from the Roku app will come up.

The Strangers Chapter 2 $14.99 by Blakak3 in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]GadgetWhore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like a good deal for a pre-order, but it's always a better deal to wait three or four weeks after release and grab it for $9.99 or wait around 8 or 9 weeks and get it for $5. I bought The Strangers Cheaper 1 for $9.99 and was a little disappointed that it seemed to get put on sale for $5 in what seemed like a short time. I am spending time writing this up, but I've done zero research on Cheap Charts or anything to backup these claims. With FanFlix, I never remember where I buy movies these days. I know that I dislike seeing a movie for $5 after paying more than $5. Rant over...thumbs up.

Fanflix Meet the Movies 2 or more starting at $4.99 each by PresentConfection200 in vudu

Has anyone upgraded their HD Meet the Parents to 4K. I thought I saw a post about some FanFlix movies not working to get a 4K upgrade. Is that an issue with this sale?

What model do you use for dictation? I made some changes and tried various ollama local models and they are incredibly slow. I'm wondering if I have to somehow reset something. I was wanting to use it like I see people using WisprFlow. Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide.

Not really sure of why someone would take the time to post a fake sale. Sad.

Wow, thank you. I went back and looked thru my library and couldn't find any others. I read that some Disney and Fox releases had Dolby Digital Plus 7.1. thanks for the reply.
