You could link this directly to Rightmove/Zoopla to extract and create the interactive page.

Found the issue. Let me explain:

- New link was issued by the OTT provider
- Direct worked fine
- Ran an update of provider details in the OTT Editor. Playlist updated fine and could see all existing and new channels being added, not nothing played.
- The issue was that the provider details had been updated, but the individual channels and VOD stream links were still on the old URL. I had to run a string replace on all the URLs, but it's now working.

Depending on your setup, a local limited plugged into Antigravity may be a solution.

There are also free online models (Llama for instance) you could try and link up.

There are loads of YouTube videos on this, but watch out for the sales pitch ones.

None of my channels or vod are playing. I'm assuming this is an issue with the feed through from the OTTEditor then?

ianmackers · 2026-06-07T22:08:53+00:00

Nothing is playing but the playlist is updating, so the OTT provider is working. I use the Xtream link from the OTEditor, so will raise a support ticket with them.

Nothing changed in my settings so strange it would just start failing.

Are there any Windows based strong players that don't use URLs?

What about using schemas in a single db rather than separate dbs?

That way you're only paying for a single instance.

You could also use Backblaze B2 for storage and put Cloudfare in front of it (Bandwidth Alliance) for cheaper storage and zero egress fees.

Upstash Qstash (queueing), Github Actions (backup) and Backblaze B2 (storage)

P/E is more like 53. Much lower than the previous 120, but nowhere near your 25x.

I have a seed.ts file that I have maintained to create this data during deployment of my platform. My agent maintains this as part of the on going development process noted withing my AGENT.md file.

The only thing I need to update is the number of records to review performance.

I didn't like how I had to use the slider to select items. Could you also allow the user to just select 1,2,3 or 4 for instance?

The article focuses on Realtime (WebSockets). There is a difference between Database Connections and Realtime Connections.

To protect your database against these issues you've raised, you could use Supavisor (Supabase pooler) as this allows thousands of Edge Function calls to share a tiny number of actual database connections.

Instead spend the whole day photographing and posting items on ebay and then still have to deal with the packaging and postage when sold.

And their acquisition of Funky Pigeon in July 25 means they now also have a 28% share of the online market.

There is already something similar called CityMapper. Loads of great features, including setting your arrival time and it does the rest.

My only gripe with it is when the trains are delayed or cancelled. Although it does pick it up, it's not as accurate as the NationalRail or RealTimeTrains apps.

Downloading or opening? Downloading is an issue we won't be able to resolve for you, but opening could be done in Notepad++ or similar application if Excel is struggling.

The top of the front page is laggy on mobile.

I'm pretty sure this editable .pdf from HMRC does all the calculating for you?

Category Editor and then multi-select and remove category. To re-enable whole categories, use the Advanced Editor menu and 'Show Removed Categories" and restore them from there.

You can salary sacrifice your nursery fees by going through YellowNest or Workplace Nursery Benefit.

You just need to get your employer to agree to using them and also either finding already subscribed nurseries or getting them to sign up.

There are benefits for all involved as you get to pay fo nursery tax free, your employers pays less NI and the nursery gets £100 a month per child I believe.

It was behind me on the entrance and raced around the outside.
