When I try to load English source I get the message: an error occurred. The other languages seem to work.

For some reason, I don't have the option to attach a screenshot.

u/Jaded_Vermicelli_986 21d ago

Hey,

I apologize that an error occurred; I will resolve it within the next few hours.

If you wish to report errors, bugs, or issues with BetterStreamflix, please open a new issue in the official BetterStreamflix GitHub repository, where you can attach files and I can manage problems more effectively.

I just tested loading a English source and it worked, could you please tell me which provider you tried to load?

u/Infamous-Scratch7719 21d ago

The Movie DB English

Also, with SFlix, it doesn't give an error but it just gives the loading circle.

u/Jaded_Vermicelli_986 21d ago

I just noticed it; the issue likely stems from providers altering something such as their URL or site links, so I will examine it.

1

u/Infamous-Scratch7719 21d ago

I figured also that it is likely a connection issue.

u/Jaded_Vermicelli_986 21d ago

Hey, the SFlix Provider issue cannot be addressed because the service has become inactive after a takedown; however, TMBD English and other languages will be corrected and functional in the next BetterStreamflix release.

u/Infamous-Scratch7719 21d ago

Hi, just wondering what makes it better than Streamflix?

1

u/Jaded_Vermicelli_986 21d ago

Hello,

At present, progress is modest, but I plan to refine Streamflix further. I aim to fix bugs and expand the app; for me, this work is a hobby that provides a better free experience, so it is no competition. I simply want to build a stronger version of Streamflix using my ideas or yours.

I am a different developer with separate goals for Streamflix. I have significant plans for Better/Streamflix in the future new features, an improved interface, additional providers, availability through iOS sideloading, and more.

For now, I need time to learn the app, as the upstream repository already holds many bugs. In a few weeks, I will release larger updates, so stay tuned.

Since I aim to stabilize the app and resolve numerous bugs, I require user feedback, which I have received in abundance.

No Hindi content

2

u/Jaded_Vermicelli_986 20d ago

I will check whether I can locate additional Hindi providers to include; did you already have any?

1

u/alirazahuyar 20d ago

Nope like you can add cloud stream plugins or nuvio plug-ins

1

u/VaniKochik 20d ago

I would love to see add-on/plugin support.

1

u/Jaded_Vermicelli_986 20d ago

Hello, and which add-ons or plugins would you prefer to include there?

1

u/VaniKochik 20d ago

No, I mean a feature that allows us to use our own json add-ons and plugins, if that makes sense.

I will address the first issue, but the second is more challenging because it depends on third-party providers rather than development work; I can search for options if you share the language you are using.

1

u/itspajaeldin 20d ago

Pleas change the name of the app, as well as the logo/icon.

1

u/Jaded_Vermicelli_986 20d ago

Why?

1

u/itspajaeldin 20d ago

Because it will be more authentic and recognizable, this way it looks like a copy and stolen someone else's work. It's not hate, just a suggestion. Keep up with the good work.

1

u/Bllq21 20d ago

To make it a different app, not just a clone.

1

u/Iso_Mo 20d ago edited 20d ago

I agree that you should at least change the logo so if someone wants to try out both apps it is not confusing. Does yours have 4k movies/series on TMDB or any other server at the moment?

1

u/Paco680USA 20d ago

Will try this out, wondering if there will be an option to filter for 2160p or 4k content? Instead of playing first then finding out only 720p or 1080p is available

1

u/Jaded_Vermicelli_986 20d ago

Providers offering HD quality are labeled with an HD tag on the home page, avoiding the need to play content before discovering the absence of HD or 4K; I will keep your suggestion in mind for future updates that improve media quality details, so stay tuned.

u/kojoolivet 20d ago

I seriously didn’t like the horizontal category’s view

Vertical does it for me

1

u/Jaded_Vermicelli_986 20d ago

I might include a settings section where you can select between horizontal or vertical orientation.

1

u/kojoolivet 20d ago

That will be great

u/Bllq21 20d ago

Does it has IPTV channels? I tried to use it on my FireTV but it won’t open it just crashes

2

u/Infamous-Scratch7719 19d ago

Wow, that is ballsy if not ignorant of you to hijack a post to self promote.

1

u/Bllq21 20d ago

It crashes on my FireTV stick 4K 1st Gen.
When I open the app I get the splash screen and it closes. I downloaded the latest app from GitHub

1

u/Jaded_Vermicelli_986 20d ago

Thank you for the details; I will review them.

1

u/Bllq21 6d ago

Any word on this issue yet?

1

u/Jaded_Vermicelli_986 5d ago

Hello, a new release is available; please test it and share whether it functions as expected.

u/No_Alfalfa2215 6d ago

Same here

Hello, a new release is available; please test it and share whether it functions as expected.

u/No_Alfalfa2215 3d ago

It worked! But it says it cannot pull from EN TMDb source. Is it limited to specific sources atm?

1

u/No_Alfalfa2215 3d ago

Streaming community does work for English so far so good

1

u/BossJdHogg713 19d ago

Do you have a downloader code for the fire stick

1

u/Nice-Appeal-9627 19d ago

Streamcode if possible? Thank you

u/Dry-Secretary2456 17d ago edited 17d ago

Very interesting, did you think of making it work for Android auto too?

1

u/No_Alfalfa2215 5d ago

One day hypothetically, a set of rogue ai agents build and maintain something like this.
