I find that when I use the voice command for a search it goes directly to , in my case, Amazon Prime,
Paramount + , Hulu, etc. The exact same thing happens, for me with the TV Mate.
I am using a FS 4KMax.
TK.

Oh, I tested the search in the Sparkle app. I never had a problem with searching in any other app or my Shield.

I have been a member of the Sparkle Discord for a while, and have been impressed with the upkeep and ambition of the developer. While it isn’t Tivimate (nothing out there is), I quite honestly think its look and functionality are super refreshing and modern and it is my 2nd favorite player I have ever tried. I decided to get lifetime to use on my travel devices and extra devices around the house. It seems very snappy while navigating on the app too. I am very impressed.

84

Yeah, I like it and I like that the developer seems to be very active.

Tivimate is still my daily driver, but I do see great potential in the Sparkle player. I check in on the reddit and Discord groups regularly.

However, I haven’t seen any new updates in a while.

Hey, could you check your Sparkle app and see how much storage and data it takes up. Mine is grazing on a farm acre of over 2GB of space.

There is a discussion about this issue going on in the reddit group.

Mine shows 161mb. <><><><>

I only have 3 iptv services on that app and zero recordings. Presently I am showing 2,20 GB. That’s HUUUUGE!

Do you have an IPTV service with a huge Movie/Show database for VOD?

90

Only 2 providers hav VOD movies and TV shows.
:radioactive: claims Movies 111,926, TV shows 15,847
:genie: claims Movies 63,301, TV shows 17,203

91

I’ll bet that is the issue. I only currently have 1 service on there and I don’t have any VOD on it, just channels. I’ll try here in a bit to add a service with a massive VOD and see how things change.

92

Can I reinstall the extrem url and eliminate the VOD stuff.

I have the same VOD stuff on Tivimate and a whole bunch more (10 Playlists and 20 epgs) iptv m3us, epgs, and extreme urls loaded and at present in Tivimate it shows 657 MB Storage and 648 MB Data

93

I added a service with a ton of VOD and mine only jumped to 251mb storage/243mb data. Something is very strange about yours that it would take up 10 times that. I’m not sure how you take out the series in Sparkle like Tivimate, but easiest way I have found to do that is using IPTV Boss. You can load just the channels or whatever, save on a Cloud and then reload url/credentials back into player.

94

Yeah, I may do that? I like the app but it has a long way to replace Tivimate. I may just clear data and see what happens. Since I am just testing this app I haven’t tweaked out my favorites and stuff like that. So even though I have made a backup. I think I will clear data and reinstall the playlists and see if the data reduces.

You can uncheck VOD and see if that helps.

96

Ok, I’ll look in Sources and try .

97

I’m not sure I saw that option in Sparkle. Maybe I didnt look hard enough. I know you can in Tivimate…i’ll have to look in a bit.
