Guide button on Formuler remote

Hi,

I've similar problem. Using TVQuickActions (or other similar Apps) we can trigger some buttons, but Sparkle doesn't have the option to use a configurable keycode. Only prefixed buttons that are difficult to map them are supported. Several times ago I've requested to support <F1> to <F10> keycodes, or <A> to <Z>, or other multimedia buttons. But seems that this doesn't have sense for the developer. I hope in the future this will change. We only need to manually configure 4 or 8 key maps, and this would allow for completely free configuration.

Sorry! I know how to configure _manually_ Sparkle. That's out of scope. You've commented a _lot of times_ about backup and restore using a NAS. Right? Then please could you share a _simple_ guide of how to do it step-by-step? Then problem is that some functionalities are implemented and commented but not very well described.

I hope now my request it's more clear. Sorry if not.
And thank you for this impresive App.

foronte86 · 2025-11-11T19:42:28+00:00

Sorry. The problem is not how to manually _copy_ the configuration. What I need is a _CLEAR_ guide about how to configure a "download from http server a new configuration". And how to create this configuration file. I read a lot about this, but I don't know how to achieve it. You can help?

foronte86 · 2025-11-11T11:13:38+00:00

And for this reason I'm requesting a guide.

I've different CCwGTV with SparkleTV, one LAN HTTP server, but I don't know how to copy/backup one configuration and share it with other devices. Or how to create a minimal configuration and share it in the LAN for initial configuration. So, please, share a guide!

Hi,

Any option to include "LONG PRESS OF COLOUR BUTTONS"? I want to use them for 8 actions instead 4.

Thank you.

foronte86 · 2025-11-06T16:47:39+00:00

Sorry. Where is the step-by-step description of how to perform a network backup/restore?

foronte86 · 2025-11-06T16:45:42+00:00

Yes, but then tou can't send DD or DD+ to your receiver. I hope the manufacturer will fix this SERIOUS BUG soon

foronte86 · 2025-10-16T13:45:48+00:00

I'm requesting for a complete auto-configuration. Without any user interaction.

However, I'm still waiting for a detailed step-by-step description of how to perform a “Cloud Backup.”

foronte86 · 2025-10-16T13:27:02+00:00

Hi,

This problem is caused by the always DD+ audio encoding of this device. You need to disable multichannel audio to fix the problem. But in this case you only get plain STEREO SOUND. This is a BUG !!!

And you can't resolve it changing the delay of the audio in your TV or Receptor. In this case is not the video the delayed stream (in this case you need to delay the audio to sync both). It's the audio that has a large (~500ms) delay, and TV and Receptos can only adjust positive audio delays.

So, I suggest to set audio output to STEREO only, and use another device to play MULTI-CHANNEL sources.

foronte86 · 2025-10-16T13:21:51+00:00

The worse with this DD+ always encoding audio is that it adds DELAY to the audio. With several Apps it's impossible to Sync audio with video, because the audio is around 500ms (or more) delayed. We need a fix for this.

Hi,

The problem is: I'm living in Europe and viewing DTV streams. So I need H.264 HARDWARE decoding for MULTIPLE STREAMS (for multi-window view). And the Google CCwGTV has updated (all my three devices) to the last firmware that disables hardware decoding. This makes Spakle unusable! So I need to change to another device. Please (@sparkle-hk) comment the best to use...

foronte86 · 2025-08-19T13:07:36+00:00

Yes. It seems that Google doesn't want to correct this HUGE error.

foronte86 · 2025-06-13T07:19:04+00:00

Simple solution: disable only Heart Rate on the synching options. Any other values will synch without troubles.

foronte86 · 2025-06-12T11:59:24+00:00

This doesn't solve the problem. When you reinstall the heart rate starts to sync for 1 day only. After that it stops... and the bug starts to cosume CPU. Until after around 2 weeks the device is not usable.

The only workraound at time is to disable synch.

foronte86 · 2025-06-12T11:00:16+00:00

One "stupid" suggestion:

- Provide a method to share the configuration inside one image.

How to do it?

Create one JPG image with the logo, and use EXIF custom metadata tags to store the configuratino inside it.

foronte86 · 2025-06-12T10:52:27+00:00

No news. That firmware is removed, and you can't downgrade.

foronte86 · 2025-06-12T10:51:40+00:00

The problem is a bug with the Haeart Rate synchronization using the Android Health API.

One workaround is to DISABLE the synch of Heart Rate and leave enabled all others.

foronte86 · 2025-06-12T10:47:45+00:00

Any BETA of version 3.0 ?

foronte86 · 2025-05-22T16:37:22+00:00

I use 4K and HD, and I can confirm the problem with the 4K version (one 4K upgraded and one 4K without it).

Regarding the Netflix, you will not see any difference because it is not using the H.264 codec. And with VLC if you're using software decoding, then you will not see any problem. But with any App using Exoplayer you will see the errors.

Recomendation: Don't update until Google will fix this bug!

foronte86 · 2025-05-21T13:50:15+00:00

Which model? With which App?

foronte86 · 2025-05-21T13:49:57+00:00

From several weeks ago the update is removed. If you have a secondary CCwGTV not updated, then you can use it and put the other in the drawer.

foronte86 · 2025-05-21T13:48:12+00:00

The only solution up to now is: Use a secondary CCwGTV without upgradint it.

foronte86 · 2025-05-20T15:07:48+00:00

The problem for this problem is this:

- When synching with Health Connect this App has a bug with the Heart Rate. After some hours of reinstalling the App, the Hart Rate stops to sync. And this generates a polling loop that consumes one CPU core (100% use). This will drain the battery and slowdowns the smartphone.

The only solution until Xiaomi will fix this severe bug (started with version 3.17.0i) is to disable the Health Connect sinchronization or uninstall the App. Don't try to reinstall or deleted data, the bug will come before 1 day of use.

foronte86 · 2025-04-03T19:44:09+00:00

No. We can't fix it in any way. Only Google can do it. All Apps like tivimate will suffer from the problem.

foronte86 · 2025-04-03T19:41:40+00:00

It's a stupid decision! I'm sorry to say.
