I'm running the most up to date version of the app on a Pixel 2 XL with Android P. I've been getting 'Loading failed!' errors all day, both on WiFi and mobile data.

Your device is EOL, hold out for the Pixel 3 XL :v:
What a terrible snipe.

Sometimes the forums and/or cloudflare eats poo poo, was it happening on the browser too?

No, it doesn't happen in browser (and it's still happening in the app). Reinstalling hasn't fixed it.

edit: I'm really loving stupid; I changed my forums password and forgot to do so in the app.

Try manually deleting the app data. I'll try it later on a 2XL on P.

I'd laugh and say I've never done that before but I respect you too much to lie to you like that.

Is there a way for the app to override the default navbar color on the latest Samsungs? I'm in blackout mode and I hate having a bright white navbar at the bottom.

Artificial difficulty.
I've been having some issues on my Moto G4 Plus where the GIF thread will just freeze the app, even if there's only like 4 mp4s on the loaded page. It started happening a few weeks ago, never had any issues before that.

I asked about it a little while ago because the same thing's happening on my Pixel. The supposition was that it's a recent update to Webview that's doing terrible things.

Apologies if I missed the discussion, but why did we lose the Leper's Colony link for individual posters? Is there any way to access the LC at all from the app anymore?

We never had LC support. Working on it, though.

Ah! I did. Thought there were the same developers on both sides. My apologies, though I really do enjoy the overall Android experience with this app. Thank you.

Are many others having problems with webms/gifvs? They just make the app poo poo itself so hard. I understand that it's probably Webview's fault, but is there anything that can be done to help the hanging, either as a user or as a developer? Nothing else kills my Pixel like the gif thread does.

Yes, look in the embedding settings, in the post settings I think. Too many loving settings in this app.

Ah, didn't realize there's a whole embedding section under the posts settings. Auto-play was already disabled; I guess I'll just turn off embedding for these things until Google fixes their poo poo (haha!).

Did something change with how Tweeter embeds things? It looks like if it's a playable video the aspect ratio on the preview gets all squashed instead of whatever it's native ratio is; this goes away if you tap to play it but thought it acted differently before. (I mostly don't bother with the videos except in the PYF > Cute thread which I only read every couple of weeks so I could well be smoking crack on this).

I thought it usually cropped stuff? Either way yeah it's Twitter's own embed code that turns the link into :pcgaming:content:pcgaming:

Can someone point me to where the app gets the post data from? Or does it just make the same php requests that a browser does? I'm thinking of making a version of the forums in react, just for fun

It literally just gets the HTML the same as a browser does and then parses/modifies it.

What version of Android is your device? If it's really old it has to do with a change in the forums themselves.
