@gpatel-fr said: @floem7 said in Has video/media playback improved?: mkv plays without problems in default app a .mkv file is a container format, so the ability of UT mediaplayer to play these files depends on what is exactly the format of media tracks in the file. If the video track is "standard" mp4 or theora or h264 and sound track is mp3 or ogg/vorbis, there will be no problem. If for example the sound is amr or video is 'microsoft' mp4, it will probably not work. It's not obvious to check on the format of a .mkv file under Ubuntu Touch, it's much easier under a PC running Linux where you can easily install mkvinfo (ffplay or gst-discoverer-1.0 will also be able to interpret the files to some extent). Indeed none of my .mkv files work. I've tried converting to .mp4 using ffmpeg, but it still doesn't play. What target (that we're sure it's supported) video and audio format/encoding should I use?

Ps: we could add in the same script the "legacy" hotspot detection (on top of the RFC8010 detection) based on make a dummy http request on a dummy URL, and it could allow have a large compatibility to detect most hotspot portals on the market.

@gpatel-fr Yes. But i do not understand how it works because it is some what random.

also also forgot to mention im almost done porting the ubports device installer to a clickable as well so it runs on device https://ubports.com/ubports-installer

I'm wondering about something, as this problem is an IP loss problem, I think it should be noted that by defualt NetworkManager uses it's internal dhcp handler. But it is also possible to configure it to use dhclient. And I wonder if the later would not be more reliable. So I think I will test to change the configuration of my NetworkManager to use dhclient, and see if it has any impact on this bug.

@Kadafi said: Also, why can't i install Firefox? Due to the fact that there is no native version of Firefox for UT... yet.

@arubislander that makes the most sense i was so confused like "how?" ...that makes a ton of sense also my settings lol

@Moem Yes, its light and very thin! But I remember now why I have'nt used it for a long time. The main camera is broken. Found a sparepart for 15$. So a bit of surgery is required. Another thing that is much easier on older hw.. According to the "Features & usability" chart, there are a few issues. But everything seems to work fine for me, charging, gps, microphone even the notification led. thumbs up

@oldbutndy Glad its helpful to someone. To quote Murina directly: "Regarding the re-flash service, it is currently only available in the EU. In the US, it is only offered for Fairphone 6 devices purchased from Murena. I understand that this device is a Fairphone 5 model, and Murena has never sold the Fairphone 5 in the US. If the device can be shipped to the original purchaser, or if you are located in the EU, I may be able to arrange the re-flash service for a fee of €99. All shipping costs would need to be covered by the customer. The 99 Euro fee will still apply even if the reflash does not restores the device's state to its original one." So essentially, if you own a Fairphone 5 in the US, or didnt buy it directly from them, they are not helping you. In addition if they do help you, they are charging more than Fairphone themselves for the exact same service.

actually i found a rendering bug that is killing performance ...eventually ill update after more testing and fixing right now im focusing on the x86_64 UT port

@arubislander said: Although, to be fair the creator of the WhatsNew app has taken measure to suspend the app when it looses focus as well I've not done that specifically in whatsnew. What happens is that normally when an electron app is not anymore in foreground it goes into a "throttling" mode meant to keep operating the website but with lower resources. This is a feature from chromium. That being said I have no idea why XWayland/electron apps don't get suspended by default. For Signal UT or Whatsnew it is handy to get background notifications though. The behaviour encountered by @smobilesoft (high CPU usage) is not normal , I've not been able to observe it myself, and it seems since he reinstalled the app it has gone. So this is a bit strange.

@pparent no :(, the battery now is ok, I will monitor it for a couple of days and I ll post here the results. Feel free to ask me any question, I ll monitor the topic. PS I just remembered something: when I updated your app, at the same time I updated the OS. I was waiting for the OS to be downloaded without leaving from the update app. When it finished I clicked on the button next to it and before I exit the update app, the phone automatically restarted to update the OS. It restarted twice, maybe that was the issue, because after that I immediately noticed the battery drainage.

@Homer in any language you can shell out to systemctl --user stop myserv - or use a systemd api if your language has a module for that. Edit: forgot 2 things: whatever you use (node.js or anything) the way to go to run a server process in your app is with a systemd user service. the code I provided is just an example. For your app you will have to pick carefully where you set your data, not straight under the root like I did. Probably under .local for persistent data or under .cache for transient data.

@gwado I have never coded without using existing open source code, existing apps, searching for snippets, and using as much as I could from existing code. This is exactly what IA does, but just faster than if you do it yourself. I think in programming, IA is just an increase in productivity.

@projectmoon said: Though in general, I don't see many payment sites asking for your password at time of check-out, at least once you're at the payment screen. eh, maybe I didn't pay attention on this and only sms-code is sufficient. I have to check it. I'll have to dig into waydroid, but maybe some time in the future - hey, it is not so begginer stuff, right? Thanks for help and nice chat!

@formel Thanks for reply, fortunately I don't need to recover android (11) right now, asking just in case. I'll use lenovo recovery if needed.

@gpatel-fr I feared you'd say that. But I thought I ask anyway. Nevertheless, thank you so much! Yet, that helped me a lot.
