anyone else having problems with redgif videos never loading?
So I have subscribed to various NSFW subs, but all the posted redgifs in those subs never load, showing a black image with an eye with a line though it and NSFW below it.
When I click them, I immediately get an error that says " failed to load redgif video" though my phone does show network activity in mb/s range right after I clicked it.
Hi, thank you for the feedback! Can you confirm this is on v182? I just checked a couple links and they all seem to load correctly but I'll continue to investigate. Cheers!
Hasnt worked for me for months, get infinite loads or straight up error. Just updated to latest on play store and tried a few links, getting the infinite load.
Still my favorite Lemmy app
Edit: oh actually new version introduced an issue with all images, they load in stretched vertical and squished at first and take a set to go to the right size
Update: I upgraded to the latest version and I can see redgifs videos in-app now. Now there's a new problem: hitting download on one of them in-app does nothing. It seems there's no option in settings to choose a download folder?
I didn't have storage permission activated. They save to internal/pictures/connect. An option to change this would be good.
Also, it seems to save them as a format that cannot be opened by any of my apps... Gallery, Gif Editor, YouCut, Video Convertor and VLC all can't open them. So a way to choose format for saving would be good.
I just noticed every video I've saved with Connect is the same size, 259 bytes. So I guess they're just empty files?
From what I've read from another Lemmy app dev (Sync for Reddit), RedGifs often breaks their oAuth and requires an app update to repair, and the dev uses a server to provide the oauth updates on-the-fly to remediate that without having to push an app update.
It's my server I use for Redgif oauth stuff
That way when it breaks I don't have to redeploy sync
It sounds like you're talking about how the app opens in browser when you click it a second time. You can select this option manually from the hamburger menu on the top right after clicking the link.
Yeah hasn't worked for me for at least a month or so, they did use to but I'll be honest I've no clue if it's connect, instance or Isp related. Saying that though they don't work for me through a vpn either so probably not the Isp.
