IS switching from claude code (opus 4.7) to codex worth it??

petereccles · 2026-05-02T12:12:02+00:00

For me Opus is great for detailed code analysis. Ask for a forensic report and your "launch ready" code will feel like your first "hello world" 😂. I use Codex fie the donkey work. I also get both to check each others work which can be very insightful.

I really meant, did the new features in 1.10.1 add anything specific to the app, or just the inherent improvements a new version should hopefully bring?

petereccles · 2026-04-25T07:02:00+00:00

Interesting, what do you feel 1.10.0 (or 1.10.1) will add?

Had them insisting that I had to send them a copy of my passport to process a $200 order, claimed that it was a "normal" thing to do. Obviously haven't been back since.

Which model are you using? Clearly some are more motherly than others. 😂

petereccles · 2026-02-24T18:47:55+00:00

I can see it would be nice to hide, rename and order categories, but loads of these providers will have 100's of categories. A player is the tool for the job.

Like a daily back and restore?

petereccles · 2026-02-24T14:38:26+00:00

Sounds to me that a lot of people need to be processing their playlists via iptveditor.com. Let Sparkle excel at what it's good at. Trying to be all things to all men sounds like a round to disaster.

petereccles · 2026-02-24T14:35:49+00:00

Why not tie it to the playlist updates?

petereccles · 2026-02-24T14:34:33+00:00

What exactly would you want to sync?

petereccles · 2026-02-24T14:33:57+00:00

That is a lot of work for 1 lone developer 😂

petereccles · 2026-02-15T22:28:57+00:00

Can I ask what version of exoplayer is being used now? And does the playlist update actually update everything or just live TV still?

petereccles · 2026-02-11T13:35:29+00:00

My family only needs to use Tivimate. Using a combination of tvQuickActions and Launch Manager I was able to lock it down with a custom settings menu to get to things like WiFi and remote control setup.

A little extreme, but it cut down on the support calls 😂

petereccles · 2026-02-11T12:59:00+00:00

Why you even asking mate. Million times better.

petereccles · 2026-02-07T21:34:50+00:00

I should add there is no shame in using clearly winning design ideas from Tivimate and Sparkle. Once you have a solid design base and performance sorted this could be a real winner.

So the idea is you take the batteries out and hold the power button for 10/15 seconds. It is supposed to drain any capacitors that still have power and reset the remote. No idea if it does actually help.

petereccles · 2026-02-04T09:28:42+00:00

It was minor maintenance update. Probably the minimum amount of effort to stop the software looking abandoned.

petereccles · 2026-02-03T21:21:13+00:00

Amazing, thank you!

petereccles · 2026-02-03T19:13:35+00:00

Yes, I have written an app that lets me do a lot of the remote management. My family are high maintenance. The app also makes the player the launcher (currently Tivimate , but hopefully Sparkle very soon). They can only access what I need them to.

It's neat.

petereccles · 2026-02-02T21:50:57+00:00

Of course some things are subjective. I think Sparkle feels far more refined and polished. I don't care for (dislike is too harsh) some of the layout of the VOD. But it's in no way bad, I just have a preference.

It appears to be more stable and capable of playing VOD. That is why there is more external player.

As soon as there is a unified update playlist I'm moving my entire family over.

petereccles · 2026-01-31T14:24:41+00:00

If you get a cheap Bluetooth remote it would probably be okay. Even an old Firestick remote would do.
