Last upgrade APK , does not allow to set URL instance

Closed this issue ยท 16 comments

My peertube instance is totally decentralized, even without internet access.
The previous versions of the apk for android, let me set the URL of my instance, but with this new update, it no longer allows me.

All the people on my SNET who were using the app , over 1000 disappointed users.
Could it at least be added within the options, to be able to use an instance in spasification and not because of the list of federated instances on the internet?

You can specify any instance (any URL should work), just open the server book and type the URL in. It does not need to be in the federated list. If it does not let you enter your URL please let me know what it is (send me private email if you don't want to post it here). Which version are you running?

@sschueller Thanks for answering.
My instance is on a SNET (they can't access it), no problems with that.
Stream: https: /peertube.azeroth.website
Version apk: 1.1.0-12d85f58

As I do not have internet to get the federated list of servers, I can not access there, and the apk no longer has the option to specify the URL of the server.

The option to set URLs was moved into the server book (Second Icon Top right, three lines). In the address book click the plus at the bottom and add your server. You should be able to use it even without internet access. Can you confirm you can not enter the URL there?

What device do you have? Very odd. If you press "Subscriptions" the address book should also open.

LOL,
1- If I simply open the apk where the videos have to go, the apk closes without prior notice.
2 - Pressing subscriptions opened the list of servers well.

Android 6.0
Device: Huawei MYA-L13

Everything worked perfect, until this last update. At least I can continue using it

It seems that it is because of the android version, I can't blame the programmer. Thank you for assisting me ;)

By the way, I left to put the URL of the server, but the apk closes, and I still do not get the normal buttons to search, edit URL, or settings.

Nothing, the apk closet and dont let me see
buttons or video list

I can confirm that the menu is missing on some devices. Hopefully I will have a fix soon

Fixed in next release.

Thank you for the fix! ๐Ÿš€ When will this be released on F-Droid? I am still experiencing this bug on a Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 phone.

f-droid is usually 2-3 days behind.

@sschueller Now that is fixed, thank you very much for that,....but, only a problem happens, the app closes when trying to get the list of videos ;(
