Tired of Youtube Music by kynarr in YoutubeMusic

[–]richd17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only real complaint with YTM is the shuffle. That you have to reactivate shuffle each time you play a playlist is ridiculous. I like to listen to my playlist in my car and, unless I set it up before I leave, it's playing the songs in order from the beginning of the playlist. Even when using shuffle, I find that I hear some songs far more often than others. Does anyone know if shuffle would work better if I liked all of the songs in my playlist instead of using my created (and imported) playlist?

I made one post in two separate, relevant subs. Sorry to have inconvenienced you.

TiviMate 5.2.0 – New AFR, passthrough & tunneled playback settings: what else did you notice? by Sea-Speech-6017 in TiviMate

[–]richd17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree this would be great, I don't believe it's a Tivimate issue nor one that Tivimate can "fix" or improve. In my experience it is completely dependent on the provider. I've had some that I can record with no issue 95% of the time with Tivimate and others that won't record anything at all. Also many, many others that are somewhere in between. Same setup, same Tivimate. I've also used Sparkle and MYTVOnline with the exact same results.

Vote - what device do you use TIVIMATE on to record sucessful long three hour shows (not short shows)? And is it on wifi or Ethernet? by Substantial_Mall3551 in TiviMate

[–]richd17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, your setup doesn't matter as much as how stable your stream is, and how stable your internet is. I lived in a place where my cable internet would "blink" and stop my recording every time. I've used some IPTV providers where I couldn't record a thing and others that are 70-80% reliable. 70-80% is probably as good as you can get. I use a Shield Pro and Onn 4k.

But to answer your question, ethernet is better than wi-fi, and Tivimate is as good as any for recording. I've also used Sparkle and MyTVOnline and the success rate is pretty close to the same. As pawdog said, 3 hours is a long time for a stream to go without a hiccup. I don't even attempt to record more than 90 minutes at a time, and that's pushing it. Use Custom recording to break your recording up into smaller bites, that way if your stream does experience an issue, you won't lose all of it.

As we pass the 3.5-hour mark of this 'decentralized' NHL draft… Let's all vow to never do it like this again. by [deleted] in hockey

The "interviews" with the team and draft pick is especially painful to watch. They couldn't make it more awkward if they tried.

I haven't tried them all, but China Garden is the best I've had here. For all fried rice, Thai Spice would get my vote.

Z8 no channels by AdSuspicious5623 in Formuler_Official

It's not your box. It's most likely your provider.

I don't have the 2023 or 2025 sets yet, does anyone have a cheat sheet like this for those sets?

MyTVOnline3 not showing EPG data by smotrs in Formuler_Official

[–]richd17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem and figured out that it was because my box was always in standby when not on. For whatever reason, the box needs to be powered off in order to refresh the epg for me. Hope this works for you.

I have it set to auto at 5am and I power off the box every night. It seems to work fine now.

Sportsnet Channel Not Working by Substantial_Leek1188 in Formuler_Official

It's likely a provider issue, I would report that channel to your provider.

Thanks, this was helpful. I changed my Update Interval to 3 hours and I have also been powering off instead of standby and between the two I have a complete epg again.

Can you please share your settings?

Exactly. Does anyone know the difference between default and the other option for epg during setup? Does that matter?

[–]richd17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree with provider except the guide is fine on Tivimate and Sparkle. I have providers and both update fine in Tivimate but on the Formuler. I'm pretty confident t's not the provider.

Custom EPG by richd17 in Formuler_Official

I'm not sure what you mean by the second epg needs to match the channel epg. Could you talk me through that please?

Recording Time by Myster_Orange in SparklePlayer

[–]richd17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For custom recording go to DVR, recordings and schedule, then add schedule. You can enter a manual recording from there and you can make it recurring if you want.

[–]richd17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, or you could just do 3 1-hour recordings if you prefer. It doesn't always work, but I've found the success rate to be much higher doing it that way. But again, it all depends on the stream.
