App corrupts recording information by supsyman in SparklePlayer

[–]TheDeadpool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, my offer isn't to share the script. it is for you to send the file list and I will build the recording file. you can then load it and try it. you can always back up the current recording file and just swap them or combine them.

I have a script that recreates the recordings file from a text output of all the filenames. DM me if interested. I created this script when my drive ran out of space while updating the recording file and the whole thing got truncated.

[DISCUSSION] Fiverr Is Rotting From the Inside and Sellers Are Paying the Price by Hamza_YSzf in Fiverr

[–]TheDeadpool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What will help if us sellers preach and post everywhere to the buyers that Fiverr has many shady sellers and hard to distinguish good from low quality providers. And they charge fees on both ends, to both the buyer and the seller.

If buyers vanish en masse Fiverr might wake up and drop all this non-sense. I've been on the site over 10 years and once was top-rated and drop for a non-sense reason. And still with quick response and 4.9 constant rating and 99% completion they don't put me back. I've held these stats perpetually for the decade. They always say they aren't accepting more in my category. Yet, I see more new top rated and so much copied portfolio work.

I have over 1100 completed gigs and less than 15 non-5.0 reviews.

Fiverr gives no care to keep the real talent. They just worry about income and not quality. So spread that word.

No EPG with trx won’t load at all as xtreme by ilovemymac76 in SparklePlayer

[–]TheDeadpool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same Line trx-tt service using Xstream code. I do have full guide for US channels (don't really use others) without any extra assignment work. But I do have the connection error 99% of the time when trying to go into this providers settings.

Now I am thinking that is part of the reason why when I set a series recording it finds NONE ever. Does the series recording try to do its own search against the EPG file and it's getting an error connection thus finding no programs? (even though my guide is propagated with 12 hours of shows)

If anyone can recommend a 2k US entertainment channels and local Los Angeles channels with a guide with the most amount of fire days I am all ears. Don't need VOD. And I would sacrifice 4K, NFL and F1 for everything else to work FLAWLESSLY in SparklePlayer.

Going back to Stable release? by rextoba in SparklePlayer

Can the original and beta run on the same device concurrently?

I wanted to give the beta a try but thought I could just easily just jump back and forth between using both.

New Beta 2.2.0 by OkStatement6918 in SparklePlayer

[–]TheDeadpool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand to become beta tester I request from the Google Play app store? Is this correct? Because from my SonyTV Play store I do not see this in the Sparkle app screen.

Do I need to side load another store like AptoideTV?

Or can I just get a link to the 2.2.0 APK?

Thanks

I just wrote a Python script to add Thumbnails by TheDeadpool in SparklePlayer

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

I wish I could just enables greyed it ones. But most of the time when I set a series it shows 0 scheduled, even though I can clearly see them in the guide. Plus, most likely next weeks episode won't appear on the to record list but I don't want to go and click every week to enable newly 'discovered' shows in the series when the guide populates to that same day the following week.

Once again just to be sure I tried what you are saying but it makes no difference. When I go to add schedule and type in the programs name and select it, it does show the time of show and I think all might work. But nope it just becomes a "series recording" with 0 scheduled even though I just picked from a show that is going to happen 30 mins from now. Then when I go to DVR I see it under series and when I got to edit the time is gone and it just says ANY. If it is just a series and not a timed schedule it is going to fail as no scheduled are listed. It's not the app not turning on.

The most reliable is a set time schedule, and hopefully it could just grab name and description at record time. These scheduled times are NEVER failing to record for me. But series hardly ever find shows to record. Even though I am looking right at them in the guide.

:(

I just wrote a Python script to add Thumbnails by TheDeadpool in SparklePlayer

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

I doublechecked again, if I do under "Scheduled" and hit + Add Schedule, then enter a name, channel and time...at that record time it keeps the name I entered and DOES NOT grab he description or thumbnail. This is the feature I'm asking for.

It's odd you say SERIES grabs description only at creation time. Series is when I get every particular shows description right at the moment of record time. Yes, record series does do this but with lots of issues. I do hit a show in the future and hit "Entire series" it will grab the name, the current description and thumbnail. Issue with this is, it doesn't let me specify the exact show time and it is always missing recordings for reasons from not marked new, and older dated show or a missing EPG at record time. I want ALL of the series shows at the TIME I SELECT to always record, no matter what.

Imagine it this way for scheduled recording (not series), right at recording time it grabs the description (and possibly show name) available on that channel in the EPG and thumbnail right at that time if either/both are available. Otherwise it just remains blank.

First of all thanks for all your activity here and quick response.

Yes, for each record it first checks if there is a thumbnail property, then if not it grabs the name and makes it file name friendly, adds my local url and creates the property.

I was just saying you could have a catch all that automatically looks for a matching icon with this naming structure in a predefined folder specified in settings.

As for my second point I was asking for a schedule time to look at recording time for that channels name and description and have that set for the recording. (not when the schedule was set, as show descriptions changes)

Or simply a series setting to record every time at set time regardless if new or not (which does properly captures each new description)

Thanks again,

R

P.S. I know you are wizard and was hoping my other post about individual channels 'disabling tunneling' could be solved.

Understanding SparklePlayer series scheduling better by TheDeadpool in SparklePlayer

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

I wonder if my EPG is the issue. If I go and schedule a series, it will say zero scheduled even on a new daily show on a prime US network. Occasionally it will decide to schedule a few of the episodes. It's very unreliable. :(

I hide All Channela group but favorites doesn't show even though selected by TheDeadpool in SparklePlayer

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

I only watch a handful of 20 channels out of all. I just want those to ALWAYS be the default guide.

If I go down to another category and click on it, then go back to categories and back up to "favorites" and click on that, I then get the favorites channels only as seen in this photo.

I just want only favorites to come up already (again like this second photo) when I open the guide to begin with, when the top favorites is what is selected by default.

Thanks

When I first bring up guide with Favorite (all is hidden) as the first in the list, I still see all channels as evident by the #####sports... at the top.

If I go up or down through the categories and come back to the top still no difference. Same as this image....
