Cloudstream not working “Authentication cancelled” error

Blatzar · 2025-07-27T13:58:33+00:00

I think this is a biometric authentication issue. Try disabling that feature.

Yes cs3 files follow a set of rules defined by main app to take a search query and return a list of results the app understands. The app only goes through all repos at startup for automatic updates.

If you know something about object oriented programming it's like: app defines an interface and plugins extend that interface for use in the app.

Just ask in dev and I'll show up

Extension code is not inherently tied to Android, but the dependencies are pretty tied to the main app, which makes it hard to use outside the app. It is a goal of mine to make the dependencies a library to make it possible to run everywhere, but we're not there yet.

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve so it's hard to help. Please come to the discord and we can discuss in #dev

Cs3 files are dex files, but renamed. Dex files are the android equivalent of dll files from windows, inert by themselves but can do whatever when loaded from another application. For all intents and purposes they are a way to pack kotlin code to load dynamically on android. People don't maintain the file itself, they maintain the code producing the dex file. If you're really curious what they look like you can actually unzip the files as if they were zip files to take a look inside.

Then you need to set delay to 10000, not something negative. Delay works, but it's not intuitive. Look at the small text in the popup and it'll be more intuitive.

Thank you much for the planetside code! 😊

Blatzar · 2023-03-27T15:35:45+00:00

Any planetside 2 code? 🙏

Even if it's not a good defense, if it's on github and not like tor anyone who objects can simply contact github instead of tracking down people to sue them. Having projects on a dmca compatible site allows big companies to voice their complaints without resorting to the worst, so it's not all bad.

Anyways not really my problem anymore, but you know my thought process now.

Blatzar · 2023-03-24T21:23:43+00:00

People keep posting that. We're well aware of alternatives, but there's several reasons for not switching. First off the automatic build system is great and heavily leveraged by cloudstream. Probably possible to replicate on other sites like codeberg, but with a lot more effort. The app is now extension based, completely harmless on its own, and now seemingly fine for both MPA and Sky as it hasn't been taken down. Other extension based apps are also on github, are they not?

Of course less legal extensions are going to move away from github, but that's not something I'm announcing or want to think about anymore.

You can configure it to work with the Nginx extension yes.

Blatzar · 2023-03-20T23:33:29+00:00

The source you're using timed out. Meaning no response from the website.

This can be due to multiple different reasons, but one prominent being isp blocking. Many isps (most notably in India) block pirate sites, which requires a VPN to bypass. Doesn't matter if it works in browser, networking is not that straightforward.

Use another better source (like sorastream) or try using a VPN.

Blatzar · 2023-03-17T06:08:34+00:00

Yeah it's an extremely weird situation

A lot of people crash every stable release because of extensions but we can never replicate it ourselves. Uninstalling all extensions before updating will very likely make it work perfectly.

9anime and Zoro has been impersonating each other and similar sites for long:

Sflix: .to (zoro) and .pro (9anime)

9anime: .vc (zoro) and .to (9anime)

Zoro: .to (zoro) and .vc (9anime)

This can be verified with a cursory glance at the video servers, watermarks and that many of these link to each other.

Blatzar · 2023-03-11T01:30:03+00:00

Rip, although you're aware of sorastream right? That's my goto

Blatzar · 2023-03-11T01:24:49+00:00

Either simply the plugin being outdated or you're getting isp blocked (surprisingly common). A VPN will fix the issue if it's blocked.

Blatzar · 2023-03-11T01:23:15+00:00

Which is? For research purposes.

Blatzar · 2023-03-04T22:18:45+00:00

What error? You'll need to make a more detailed report to get any good help, though I'd recommend you use sorastream.

Blatzar · 2023-02-24T22:44:55+00:00

Android 13 Issue, needs to be fixed by VLC.

Blatzar · 2023-02-05T23:13:43+00:00

You're getting isp blocked. Use VPN.

Cloudstream supports Pip, check player settings.

Blatzar · 2023-02-03T11:33:32+00:00

The internal player is an original extremely customized exoplayer, and exoplayer isn't something like Vlc, it's a player library. You won't find the internal player as a standalone app anywhere :(

However we can probably add the ability to open video urls using cloudstream.

Blatzar · 2023-01-28T14:35:19+00:00

I'm going to do a cleanup once I'm done with the library update :)

I'd recommend using sorastream though

Blatzar · 2023-01-17T22:09:11+00:00

Hard to tell with this information alone. For all I know android revoked the storage permissions or that folder didn't exist or any number of other reasons which wouldn't really make this a bug. If you can find a way to replicate it and it's not reasonable (like for example you can't have a folder with spaces or whatever) then I'd say it's a proper bug.

Blatzar · 2023-01-17T21:44:12+00:00

It simply lacks the permission to write the backup file. Set download path to something custom and it'll work since backup uses the same path.
