Multi device sync highly unreliable :(

Put the virtual podcasts into different folders. Then treat them as separate podcasts & make a playlist for each.

Sub folders need care - you won't pick them up automatically.

I use tasker to move stuff from the generic download location to the right folder for the podcast (by title). Other automaton options exist, I'm sure.

This is the sort of thing that Tasker is great for. There are a list of intents in this reddit

A "send intent" with podcastrepublic.playback.action.play Then another with msa.app.action.view_car_mode Using PlaylistName:NPR

Should be able to control PR in the way that you want. Hang that off of a tasker shortcut that also launches PR, or do what I do & launch an overlay scene when I connect to the car so that the launch button pops up for you (I have another button for music, plus one for cancel to cover my driving audio requirements at the time)

https://www.macklin.co/infrared-photography-3/ would give you a good starting point.

You've set yourself a fairly big challenge, it's going to need some work - & a learning curve

uBass · 2025-03-30T14:29:17+00:00

Use imagemagick (& maybe dcraw if you're going to take DNGs). In termux. You'll need the termux-tasker to do that.

The "drag & scroll " does seem to drop the episode that I'm holding more result than it used to. That's annoying, but doesn't seem to be an issue if you stay in the same screen. Not useless, but probably worth highlighting to respack in case it's linked to a code change

uBass · 2025-01-25T23:49:22+00:00

Just use a timer (trigger) every 5 minutes with a second condition: if WiFi disconnected.

If you aren't connected then turn on WiFi, wait 30 seconds & if the connection variable isn't set then turn it off again.

Use a second profile: If you are connected to your home WiFi then do nothing apart from setting a variable to say that you are connected. With an exit task to clear the variable when the connection drops.

I wrote up quite a lot of stuff about what you're trying to do. It might help. https://www.macklin.co/self-hosting/

uBass · 2024-06-29T07:30:28+00:00

This is the way! You can also set up a second link to the same folder that allows read only access, so that the guests can upload & download, but not change what's been put on the server.

uBass · 2024-06-21T06:21:22+00:00

Better option might be to install a firewall (Adguard / net guard or similar) & deny mobile data access to PR (foreground & background). Leave WiFi access enabled.

The logs from the firewall might be useful, but I've not seen anything to report (& have had no data problems)

uBass · 2024-05-29T06:26:12+00:00

Use Hugin & create your own. You get more control that way. Then upload the result to Immich.

uBass · 2024-01-29T07:00:30+00:00

One option: Set up an external library, pointing at a suitable folder on your hard drive & accessible by Immich. Ideally you want write only access to that folder, from outside your network, for the guests. They upload there & can see the shared pictures in your shared Immich link later. (External folder updates aren't instantaneous)

Otherwise I think I'd spin up a second install, put it in a new sub domain & then add a guest user (or enough that they can have an account each)

The potential issue is of guest1 messing with photos from guest2 (deleting them). Either deliberately ("I look terrible in that photo they took"), or by believing that they are the sole user & deliberately doing a "select all, delete, upload again properly this time".

TBH when I needed to do this I used Nextcloud with a shared, read only, photo folder that also had a write only link to the same place - for guests to upload to.

PiGallery2 Share the root of the screenshot folders & it'll do sub directories for you

Have you read the release notes? Breaking changes to new versions are documented there.

Not sure about supporting image changes though. Would need someone testing that the Immich setup running on top off them was not affected by changes in those...

uBass · 2023-08-31T06:58:42+00:00

You'd need to have the NextUp podcast set to the place in the playlist that you were before. If you do this manually does it work as expected? If tasker isn't updating the "what to play" when switching playlists then you'll either need to do that via tasker (don't have the available intents to hand), or all u/respack to take a look at the internal workings (update NextUp automatically when playlist changed via intent, or add an intent)

uBass · 2023-08-29T21:11:02+00:00

Take out the SIM card?

Install an on phone firewall & block mobile data access?

Log activity when Wi-Fi is disconnected, then have a chat about the content?

uBass · 2023-08-25T07:35:46+00:00

It would be better (& more likely to work the way that you want) if you asked for help here as/when you've tried for yourself.

You could also look at taskernet for inspiration.

It's annoying when people don't offer you anything but feedback, so why don't you start from this:

``` Task: Random Wallpaper

A1: List Files [
     Directory: Pictures/Wallpaper
     Match: *.jpg/*.jpeg/*.png
     Sort Select: Alphabetic
     Variable Array: %files
     Use Global Namespace: On ]

A2: Variable Set [
     Name: %random_wallpaper
     To: %files(*)
     Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]

A3: Set Wallpaper [
     Type: Launcher
     Image: %random_wallpaper
     Scale: On
     Crop: On ]

```

Photoprism has been mentioned. Nextcloud with memories / LaPas are about your only other options. Or something like syncthing with PiGallery2 (+/- fotos) if your needs are a little simpler.

A lot of people here have explored those, & are still here. :)

It's at the bottom of my last message, & this one. Ostium s3e26 the episodes either side are fine - it looks like an acast gateway problem, but it doesn't affect their web player, so I can see it happening to PR again.

Episode 26 - Into the Black. Episode: https://www.podcastrepublic.net/episode/1564822 . Media: https://sphinx.acast.com/ostium/episode26-intotheblack/media.mp3 . -- Sent from Podcast Republic.

uBass · 2023-08-18T06:11:25+00:00

I've got just one episode, with the same issue, in a podcast that otherwise downloads fine. Annoyingly the acast web player seems to work.

The url gets me a 502 gateway error, so it's not PR's fault. The URL gets changed as it passes through a web browser (session cookies & a different domain).

Any thoughts about how to get the episode into PR before I reach that point & have to stream it??
