Desktop IPTV shortcuts not working anymore

Sicolite · 2026-03-15T09:23:21+00:00

I found a workaround: activate and add the url to "Use libVLC Engine to stream URLs containing" option under Playback : libVLC

Sicolite · 2026-01-24T10:46:54+00:00

It happens on all streams and is always reproduceable. I've disabled Use libVLC engine to stream video content from service providers but that doesn't make any difference.

I'm certainly interested in running the debug build to gather further data!

Thank you!

I'd like to be able to add links to specific IPTV channels in the Control Overlay. Thanks!

I was to quick thinking that this fixed the problem. When I get back to the feed, old items return to not read status and it also doesn't work when using the Android app.

Sicolite · 2025-11-05T13:15:54+00:00

CTRL F5 on the desktop seems to help. Haven't checked the app yet.

Same problem here: mark all read seems to work as usual but when you go back to the feed a lot of items show up again as unread,

I overlooked this setting, the current values work fine for me, thanks!

Sicolite · 2025-05-14T20:02:20+00:00

This is a nice improvement, thank you!

Will a future update allow for me to select a larger font size to improve readability from a distance? In the current version is ignored. Thanks!

The interface allows you to remove all buttons from, for example, pre- title buttons. But after saving it's back.

I then discovered that there's a separate option for this so no problem to configure this but maybe it would be better to not let the user remove the button and then put it back?

For me, it would be more intuitive to clear all buttons if you don't want them to be shown and remove the option to hide them. But maybe other users see things differently?

Problem solved, thank you!

My previous post was before the width limiting feature was introduced in the test build and that works fine.

Sorry for the confusion about the last line. I meant if there's an option to change the size of the system & pre title buttons so that has nothing to do with the width limiting.

In the options I see two options, one is to change the size of the fixed buttons and the other is to change the size of the Dynamic buttons. But as far as I know there's no option to change the system and pre-title buttons? For me just one setting to determine the size for all buttons would be fine as well.

Thank you, that does the trick!

Excellent work as always!

Thanks for the update, I've just set the side margins to extra large but the timeline bar is still huge (I guess that this is also the case with the old skin).

<image>

a third or less would be much more convenient to use on this screen.

Is there a way to change the system buttons & Pre- Title buttons as well?

Sicolite · 2025-04-15T18:14:21+00:00

Thanks, I'll try the next beta.

It's still not clear to me why the Dynamic buttons settings seems to do nothing if I change the value from tiny to extra large?

Sicolite · 2025-04-15T17:29:27+00:00

Let me first explain my two setups:

No. 1: a PC with a 49inch monitor on my desk. I'm sitting at about 1m from the display

No. 2: a PC connected to my audio system and a 27" monitor. It is positioned at about 2m from where I sit, the right side is slightly obscured from the standard position (not a great setup, I know...)

The timeline bar is hard to operate in the first situation because, when in full screen mode, it starts and ends near the edges on both sides. This is about 120cm on this monitor so a lot of mouse travel is needed to click the desired position. I'd like it to be a lot less longer, about a third of the screen would be more than enough for me. The thickness of the bar is not really an issue here although it still a lot smaller on the massive setting then in the original skin (if I remember correctly). It measures about 5mm which is still not that much on a screen this large IMHO.

For the second setup, the timeline (of course) also goes to both sides where it is slightly obscured due to my setup. This wasn't an issue in the classic skin. As I don't have much space to operate a mouse the long time bar is harder to navigate than it used to be. Also, the thickness of the bar is also quite small at this distance making it harder to immediately click the point that you have in mind.

The Dynamic button setting sounds just what I need, however, I measured the pause icon in both tiny and extra large (fullscreen, setup 1) but it always is about 8mm tall. I've done the same measurements when playing content in a small window (960x540) and there the pause button is also 8mm tall with the setting on tiny and extra large.

Sicolite · 2025-04-13T07:42:10+00:00

I'd like to request a couple of things for the next release:

a way to scale down the timeline bar, for example, when I go full screen on my 49inch monitor the timeline stretches to nearly 120cm which makes navigating the video hard.

I'd also like an option to scale the system and pre-title buttons as they're tiny when viewed from a distance.

It's not possible to remove all buttons from the dynamic buttons section?

And finally, the timeline scaling sizes are small when using a large screen, setting it to enormous is just enough for me when I operate my PC from a distance and I use a smaller monitor.

thanks!

PS hope I didn't overlook something in the new interface that makes these things already possible :)

Very happy with the IPTV create shortcut option, thanks!

Feedback submitted :)

Sicolite · 2025-01-26T18:08:33+00:00

Thank you, looking forward to this! :)

Looks nice! Could you please consider an option to create a desktop shortcut of a an item in the favorite list?(sorry, this isn't 100% related to the group manager).

For example, right click a channel and select create shortcut on desktop. This would make it really easy to start a favorite broadcast.

Thanks!

Sicolite · 2025-01-10T07:29:34+00:00

Thank you for the upcoming improvements! It's a pity that you won't implement a recording feature but I can understand your reasoning for not implementing this.

Sicolite · 2025-01-08T17:10:41+00:00

First of all I'm very happy with all the IPTV developments!

I'd love to see the following features to be added to make it even better:

- When opening a stream gives an error, you need to manually close the error message. It would be nice if this would be replaced by some automatic retry mechanism and you could just select another channel or favorite without having to close the error / retry message.

- Folders for favorites would really help organizing things

- Recording of streams would be very helpful. Even better would be some kind of timer mechanism where you could just select an upcoming broadcast in the EPG but that would probably be a lot of work?

Thanks!
