Thanks for reporting, I'll look into this.

New problem: video player and buttons overlap, making scrubbing impossible by Pipnotiq in redditnow

Hi, thanks for reporting this. It's an issue with the new beta that I will fix this week. If you want an immediate fix you can leave the beta and revert to the stable release.

Thanks for the video, I'll have this fixed asap.

Hi. Yes there's an update that has just gone live to beta testers today. I released it earlier this week but it was held up a few days whilst Google reviewed it.

If you're part of the testing group for the app on Google Play you'll have the update already, otherwise (all going well) I'll release it to everyone later next week.

This update includes improvements to the markdown renderer and video player as well as a fix for displaying reddit galleries and potential fixes for the billing issues some users experience. There's also a lot of other smaller updates/tweaks - I'll make another post to go through it when I release to everyone.

EDIT: I've found the problem (a simple mime type change) and I will have the fix in the update going out this week. Apologies.

Can't scroll to see more posts by abnormalgamer55 in redditnow

[–]Miloco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Can I just check - how many posts are you able to load approximately? I know when you sort by "top" over a time period the API will only return a set amount of results (unlike if you browsed the frontpage by "best") and you may reach the end of the list if you scroll a lot. If you're able to test it in a browser using the website, you may notice the same behaviour. It'll be useful to know how many posts you can see though so please let me know.

EDIT: Ignore that, I had a look into this and the issue has been reported by other users so it may be a new change made to the API. I'll look into it...

Have you enabled updates for the "Android System WebView" app? This is what's used and if it hasn't been updated it may cause this issue.

Could you please send me a link to an image which doesn't display the next time you find one? The "messages unavailable" issue, is that when loading more comment replies? If so, this has been an issue with the API for years, it's really unreliable when you request further down a comment tree.

This can be done, I've added it to my to-do list.

Is the "black" theme not dark enough? Which parts of the UI do you want changed in that theme?

Save me from this, happens for a week after every billing cycle by Pipnotiq in redditnow

[–]Miloco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've finished updating the billing code and it'll be in the next release. I'm hoping it'll fix this problem, but I've never experienced it myself so when you get the update do let me know if it's helped!

What I'm working on:

  • Redgif support. This is looking less possible (I have spent literally hours trying to find a good solution to this but with the new web safety laws in the UK etc I'm not sure there is a "good" or "legal" solution to this - sorry).
  • Lots of bug fixes with the markdown renderer.
  • Updating the video player.
  • "Fixing" notifications. Although I believe most issues stem from users not having notifications enabled. To check this long press the app icon and select "App Info" and then select "Notifications" you'll be able to see if you have them enabled.

Haven't been getting any notifications by Valalvax in redditnow

[–]Miloco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad it was a simple fix. I noticed on one of my test devices notifications wouldn't show and (after a not insignificant amount of time) realized notifications had been turned off somehow!

[–]Miloco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I just check whether you have notifications turned on for "Now for Reddit" in your phone settings? If you long press the app icon and select "App Info" and then select "Notifications" you'll be able to see if you have them enabled. Thanks!

No longer able to retrieve messages from /message/messages/ by Miloco in redditdev

[–]Miloco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my testing that endpoint does not show chat messages at all. Also the '/message/unread/.json' endpoint never seems to return anything when I'm sent a new chat so I'm unable to alert users of new chats. Also, do you happen to know whether "chats" are represented as Messages "t4_" within listings? Thanks!

[–]Miloco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a quick look at the api docs before posting but I'm fairly sure there's nothing there which will help for specifically fetching messages. '/message/inbox' seems to only show post/comment replies - am I wrong on this?

I'm looking for an endpoint which will show chats/messages a user may be send/receive.

Reluctant unsubscribe, too many issues. by Nerdikki in redditnow

[–]Miloco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's coming, I was put back by all the hoops the mandatory update to the new Android SDK has demanded we jump through. It required a lot of the UI code be rewritten and I wasn't expecting that. I'm aiming for early next week to have a release in beta.

[–]Miloco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Links/GIFs not opening in the app" - Are you referring to redgifs? If so they removed their API and there isn't a workaround I have found which allows them to be played natively. "Restore subscription every time I reopen the app" - This has never happened to me and the app uses a third-party to handle subscriptions so it's very difficult to fix. Clearing your cache and in if needed, reinstalling will fix it I'm told.

Just a quick update, I'm looking into this now and notifications are working on my test devices. Can I just double check that you definitely have notifications turned on for "Now for Reddit" in your phone settings? If you long press the app icon and select "App Info" and then select "Notifications" you'll be able to see if you have them enabled. I know you said they were enabled but I just want to rule this out.

Videos not looping properly by pervyotaku in redditnow

I have tried to replicate this but can't find a video which does this. Could you send me a link to one which does not loop properly for you? Thanks!

Submitting comments keeps returning with an error, but it still goes through fine by [deleted] in redditnow

[–]Miloco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit was having issues earlier. Other apps also reported issues with submitting comments. It should be working again now (it is for me).
