@Fofer's response is correct.

For anyone coming across this later, I just want to point out that this exact scenario is described in the Github repo, so it should always be your first resource for questions like this:

Doing that, you will see this:

I appreciate it. I should have said, to me it looks correct.

Thanks very much. That seems to have gotten it. I have typed America/Chicago a million times, I don't know where I got US from.

@babsonnexus Crunchyroll does not seem to work on Apple TV or Fire TV, it goes to the browser for Fire TV and does nothing for Apple TV it wont load anything, all have the Crunchyroll app installed

See Troubleshooting / FAQ, specifically this one:

Is there a way or use case for it to only pull in new episodes of Shows? Meaning, can I leverage it as a sudo DVR so that when new episodes air, SLM creates the link so I can easily watch them in Hulu/Disney/Peacock/etc. So far it is pulling in all historical episodes, where I just want new airings from this point forward.

That's what I'm pretty much using it for. You need to go into SLM and mark all of the old episodes as watched and it won't pull them.

What @scottuf said is the way, but I do want to clarify something. Every time SLM runs Check for New Episodes it is reading the entire list of available episodes and adding a "new episode" if it finds one that is not in the local database. So SLM is always going to "pull" every episode, but it just won't "process" the episodes if they are marked as Watched.

As for how to do this, please review the directions on the repo:

Crunchyroll works fine on Apple TV for me using this Stream Link Mapping

Looks like this may not work exactly as I was hoping. Not at any fault from SLM, but justwatch doesn't appear to update the episode list quite fast enough. For example, there were shows that aired the other night and are on Hulu/Disney+ the next morning, but justwatch doesn't have them listed yet. Having it be a few days behind doesn't work for my use case sadly. :frowning:

After watching a video linked by stream link manager it is supposed to be auto marked as ‘Watched’ on channels?

“Watched” means completed, and if it is in an outside service, SLM has no way to know if you completed it, so you have to manually mark it as Watched in Channels.

Fair enough.

On an unrelated note I am finding that links to bbc iPlayer don’t work. Is this a known problem?

I just want to clarify that in Channels you have to manually mark as watched. If you delete it from Channels, it will get marked as watched in SLM (once trash purges). If you mark as watched in SLM, the opposite is true and it will get removed from Channels.

See Troubleshooting / FAQ on the repo, also referenced above:

When using SLM to add movies would it be possible to add an option to add all movies from a collection at once or maybe to select multiple movies at once,at the moment say you want to add the Harry Potter movies you do the following:

Select Add Program

Type Harry Potter

Click search

Select the first Movie

Click Get

then

Type Harry Potter

Click search

Select the 2nd movie

Click get

And repeat,repeat,repeat

When we search for titles could we not have a tick box next to each movie so we can bulk select several titles at once?

This would be... difficult... from a technical perspective based on how SLM works, but I don't think impossible. I've added it as a request, but as a backburner item for now since it will require a fairly substantial rewrite of some functionality.

I'm also preparing a large release for next week, so won't be taking a look for a little while yet.

Oddly enough when using Channels and stream link manager on iPad the iPlayer links work, on Apple TV they don’t.

v2024.10.29.1540 has been released as stable. Here are some highlights:


NEW: Ability to filter out already bookmarked programs from search results, including setting for default choice

You can now by default and override during search have the ability to hide anything you've already bookmarked from search and new & updated results:

This option is off by default, so you must update in Settings


NEW: 'Bookmark Action' function for specific activities related to bookmarked programs.

Notably, this includes:

  • NEW: 'Bookmark Action' function for specific activities related to bookmarked programs.
  • NEW: 'Disable Get New Episodes' in 'Bookmark Action' makes it so a show no longer searches for new episodes during related processes
  • NEW: 'Hide' in 'Bookmark Action' removes all bookmarks status records (i.e., episodes, movie stream link) and hides the bookmarked program from lists and related activities
  • NEW: Changing 'Bookmark Action' from 'Hide' to a valid value will rebuild bookmark statuses (i.e., episode, movie watched status)


NEW: Ability to 'hide' a program during search so that it does not appear again (filtered out), unless edited to allow

To go along with this, there is additionally:

  • MODIFIED: 'Modify Programs' area does not list 'hidden' bookmarks, but has a button to show/edit if desired
  • MODIFIED: Can now edit bookmark items (i.e., 'Title', 'Release Year', 'Bookmark Action') when adding a program, the same as when modifying

MODIFIED: Made 'Save' and 'Cancel' buttons floating over episodes in 'Add Programs' and 'Modify Programs'

The Save, Cancel, etc... buttons are now floating!


MODIFIED: 'Files' area has been redesigned for selecting files from a dropdown

Files area is now flexible and much better looking:


General bug fixes and quality of life improvements
  • FIXED: Modal box (Please wait while processing...) was malformed on Add Programs and Run Processes, and did not exist on 'Modify Programs'

  • MODIFIED: Stream Link Mappings function to ensure save and add can only happen when they are supposed to, handle for no mappings remaining after delete

  • MODIFIED: Minor adjustment for finding country during 'Initialization' process

  • MODIFIED: References for 'End-to-End' Process now specifically include 'Stream Links/Files' in order to not confuse with any other current or future processes

  • MODIFIED: Scheduler processes in order to run multiple activities at the same time

  • MODIFIED: Made update rows function more generic

  • FIXED: Rare issue for 'New & Updated' programs where the offer icon was missing, resulting in a crash

  • NEW: Added ability to decompress '.gz' files

  • UPDATED: Home page, header, and other areas to reflect expanded functionality beyond Stream Links, including temporary SLM logo

  • PREP: Upcoming rebrand


I think that's about it... Oh, wait, I almost forgot one other small thing!
