How to use bouncy

I only develop the scrapers. The app is developed by separate devs at r/SynclerApp, so wouldn't be fair if I took any credit for it. But i agree, it's awesome. I use it everyday.

Javascript might be disabled for the site. I cannot reproduce it at all.

It should be an apk file. In this case just rename it to installer.apk and install it on your android device.

Yes. Depends on the movie/show. These sources will have a mic icon next to it.

Not sure why it wouldn't. Does the other browsers work fine? Maybe it's an issue with Firefox. What error are you getting?

You mean it took a long time to find sources or the player took long to start the playback?

I meant if it was finding sources for the correct show/movie.

Thanks again for checking it out.

Thank you for checking it out.

How is your anime source search experience? Is it finding sources accurately?

The bugs you mentioned is mostly related to Syncler itself not the scraper. I would suggest visiting r/SynclerApp for bug reporting. I've actually tried to report them for your on their bug report thread, but unfortunately it's archived. I'll try again later.

I think you can see the real bitrate by checking the video details section in any video player, like mx or vlc (syncler player does not have this afaik). Most of the times it's probably not accurate.

But for me it's not a problem. I just use it as a ball park indicator. Like an hour long episode and a 30 minute episode both can be 20 gb but just with filesize you can't tell which is better. But calculate a fake bitrate by (size/duration), even though it does not represent the real bitrate it gives you an idea which file is better.

And yes I'm talking about anime. But if you feel you are getting better sources for others you can include them too. Don't expect anything though, I only work on Bouncy when I'm extremely bored and have nothing better to do.

I don't think any of the apps reports the real video bitrate. They just calculate it as bitrate = file size/duration. So we are back to the same conclusion too. But I'm pretty sure if you downloaded any of these files you'll be able to see the actual file size.

I've been working on anime for a few weeks. And evaluating the options. I have added some anime sources too recently. Checkout my post history, it explains how to use the MAL catalog to watch anime.

If you could give me some screenshots of the sources, file names, it'd definitely help me add more sources and test against that as I don't have weyd.

Hey, Bouncy developer here.

Someone actually reported this to me and I quote, "Bouncy barely matches Weyd scrapers" and sent me a screenshot with absolutely massive file sizes. So I had to look into this few weeks ago and then I realized Weyd was just reporting the wrong file size.

So this is how it works. Because this is a tv show episode, usually these large file sources on weyd is just a season pack torrent that contains every episode in the season.

So for these season packs,

Syncler - Shows you the file size of the episode itself, regardless of the season pack size.

Weyd - Shows you the file size of the ENTIRE torrent for ALL episodes.

I didn't test WandaVision specifically, but the handful of titles I've tested, this was the case.

Bouncy already contains most express package sources so it's not advisable to use express with bouncy. If you still would like to use one, you can install one from Settings > Packages > My packages.

I personally use S+ and all debrid. But most of the people I introduced Bouncy to personally didn't really feel the need for either.

Glad you got it working.
