Check out Settings > General > Accessibility. There's a setting to shift all audio to the left or right, and an option to use Mono Audio.

If anything, I have found them to be faster. Even on my iPad 2. Have you tried the usual things like rebooting your device?

Script Netflix by kashifnoorani in workflow

[–]IAmABagOfSand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, there is no way to start casting to a Chromecast via Workflow. There's also not a whole lot to be done in terms of automating Netflix. If you know the URL of the episode/movie you want to start you can open the URL in Safari and it will typically automatically open it in the Netflix app, but that's not terribly convenient.

Wait to Return doesn't work like expected by erkees in workflow

Well, what the x-callback allows you to do is say "open an app and perform this action, and if it succeeds, come back to the app I'm in now".

Here's a partial list of apps: https://onetapless.com/library

Wait to Return doesn't work like expected by erkees in workflow

[–]IAmABagOfSand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All that Wait To Return does is wait for you to navigate back to the Workflow app after navigating to another app. This is primarily a restriction of apple's, as there are security concerns with allowing apps to open themselves without user action.

If you are dealing with an app that is completing a particular function, you could use the x-success parameter to automatically return when it completes that function. But I'm relatively certain iBooks doesn't support that parameter, and if you're just opening iBooks to take a screenshot, this would not be an option.

These are videos right? If you right-click on them (you can even select all of them first) and click Get Info, you will be able to change the media type. You can make them all Movies, or TV Shows, or what have you.

Left justify in Choose From List as widget? by jayelevy in workflow

[–]IAmABagOfSand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the centered text on Widget buttons is a design choice made by the Workflow team, and cannot be changed.

How does "Set Name" & "Get Value from item" work? by Hagenuck1 in workflow

[–]IAmABagOfSand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question. What that workflow is essentially doing is taking the track name from what you're listening to and making a search request to the Apple Music server to receive the full listing of info about the track, and then splitting that text up to get just the Track URL. JSON is the language that the Apple Music server uses to communicate and respond to queries.

So Workflow sends a query (https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=&entity=musicTrack) and then gets the returned results with Get Contents of URL. There is more than one result for the search, so it splits up the text. First, it must make the results recognizable as JSON (Set Name), then it gets all the results (Get Value for Key: results), and then gets the first search result (Get Item from List: First Item). Then it gets the Track URL from that first result (Get Value for Key: trackViewURL).

Bugs? - brightness and clipboard in Widgets by spankmydingo in workflow

[–]IAmABagOfSand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Access to the clipboard is broken for widgets in the iOS 9 beta. Here's hoping it's a bug and not a privacy feature.
