bsky images don't show on feddit.uk (only) via app (only) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Hello, Connect dev here but I'll also tag the Thunder dev @[email protected] as far as I know we're the two Flutter based front-ends.

The issue I believe seems to be with how the URI gets parsed for Bluesky. Since the URL path ends with @jpeg?.jpg the uri.path that I get ends up being "/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:wf7nfy2us3h5gpa7zfettmzl/bafkreidiiq5pzo4dec3o32z4okokwo5vz55ykd5vsm7ltqkxzrfpwnah64@jpeg" instead of the typical some_path/some_image.jpg. So when the code checks if the url is an image it doesn't find a file extension and reports that this is a link and not an image. The simplified form of what I'm doing app-side is

List<String> imageFormats = [
    "jpg",
    ...
];
var uri = Uri.parse(url);
var extension = uri.path.split('.').last;
if (imageFormats.contains(extension)) {
    return true;
}
...

For some instances this is not a problem since they are proxying all image requests which is why it might be happening only on specific instances for you.

I'll roll this fix into the next version, which should be rolling out tonight.

Connect dev here, I'll check out what might be going on with Edit. Sorry!

Is this app still being maintained? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Still being maintained! Most of the features I wanted to add are there for it to be my daily driver and get off Reddit so updates have been a bit slower recently.

Connect is blank? in c/[email protected]

Is this still happening for you on v191?

Suddenly I have to hit the back button twice to back out of posts in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for the feedback! Rolling out a fix (v191) now. Should fix both web links and images.

Bug: "Confirm on app exit" not working in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Hi, Thanks for the feedback and this should now be fixed on the latest beta build. I believe it was due to Android's predictive back behavior.

Anyone else having trouble with videos? in c/[email protected]

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I'll take a look, could you link some posts that don't load?

Hi, thanks for the feedback! I've fixed downloading redgif videos on the beta channel and it should be making its way into the regular releases soon (maybe this weekend depending on some other fixes).

Hi, it's been a while since I've done one of these so this will be changes between 150 and 171. I've been focused on resolving image and performance issues mainly in this time but I also added a couple new things too.

  • Fixed a link handler issue where it could fail on posts from different instances
  • Fixed an issue with urls similar to Lemmy format being mistaken for a Lemmy instance
  • Fixed a crash related to link handler finishing before its transition completed
  • Fixed issue with vote actions not refreshing post cache
  • Refreshing post list now scrolls to the top
  • Fixed an animation flash when expanding images
  • Fixed a login issue with instances on v0.19
