Hello guys, I implemented today that podbird can remember queue between restarts and playback position for every episode. There is new setting where you can set up that episode will continue in playing where you left. Can you please test it? Download armhf or arm64 build.
@flaun-in It has implemented that fix too

Hello everyone,

During this weird times I had more time for software development. I started porting Quickddit - open source Reddit client to Ubuntu Touch. This port was written in Qt Quick Controls 2.

Screenshot:

Features:

I would love to hear any feedback, issues or requests. I do not have device with working video playback, so please test if that works.
Download armhf or arm64.
Source code you can find here.

Quickddit 1.0 update has been published to store. Please let me know how it works. Now it has gallery support and videoplayback support.

As OTA-14 is in a freeze, I made beta build of Morph browser with yet unmerged features. You can install with

sudo ubports-qa install PR_morph-browser_401

@malditobastardo not yet, just made merge request.

Thanks for awesome feedback and testing to you all!

Hello,
I would love to ask about halium 7.1 devices, would be there OTA-13 stable update for them? I am using OnePlus 3T and for now I am able to install just edge with installer.
Second question is about QT 5.12, Is there possibility to test it with ubports-qa tool now? It would be useful for me as an app developer. Live demo of QT 5.12 would be cool too
Third question: What is blocking providing dialer, messaging, adress-book, mediaplayer app and Morph Browser as clickable packages? I built some of them with clickable and there was working fine. It would improve updating experience.
Thanks,
Daniel

I am doing this with 1.1.1.1 in morph, it will redirect you to login page

Hello guys, I recently implemented importing podcast with OPML file (I was migrating from android so needed that feature ). It was only one day effort, but I am willing to help more. Here are some issues for the next milestone. Main issue for me is still this, it can be really anoying.

GPU made first rectangle https://rosenzweig.io/blog/asahi-gpu-part-2.html

@flaun-in I made fix for that, see https://code.launchpad.net/~dano6/podbird/podbird/+merge/386561

I was able today to setup matterbridge.
I get working built-in whats-up plugin, and for messenger fbridge-asyncio
Both I am bridging to Telegram. Maybe I could write tutorial sometimes about that.

In OTA-13 there will be upgraded chromium core from around v62 to version 77, it is improvement in performance and compatibility. It will bring better text selection too.

Hello guys, recently I was playing a bit with podbird, investigating long refresh times. So I made some changes, that should noticeably improve refreshing times, and maybe fix unability to refresh some podcasts.
There is changed logic, that it checks episodes only added after last refresh.
But if you open some podcast from podcast list and than pull to refresh, it would refresh all episodes from that podcast.

If refresh time is still too long, please report database size stored in ~/.local/share/com.mikeasoft.podbird/Databases
My database has around 15MB and I have around 80 podcasts added, but speed is reasonably good.
It contains fixes for pinephone from @phoenixlandpirat too.

Hello guys, thanks for a great job at UBports.
I would like to ask how the current corona situation affect you and development of Ubuntu Touch?

In battery settings in system-settings app after selecting time from 'sleep when idle' app crashes, short log:

file:///usr/share/ubuntu/settings/system/qml-plugins/battery/SleepValues.qml:59: TypeError: Cannot call method 'indexOf' of undefined

file:///usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/Ubuntu/Components/ListItems/1.3/ItemSelector.qml:257:13: QML ListView: Binding loop detected for property "itemHeight"

@joe said in Podbird reignited:

Interesting that it is an optional setting.

Because I am not sure how reliable it is

I , too, wonder how it works, and would a crash of Podbird still be able to catch the position before it closes? Will continue testing.

No, during crash it shouldn't work, it catches event onDestruction and during crash it is not trigerred.

@CiberSheep I will test more

@CiberSheep ubports weblate community project would be great, I have not big motivation to make my app translatable otherwise.

Hello, occasional podbird contributor here,
it is great to see that somebody is looking into ubports media stack. I will test your beta build. There are mainly 2 issues about streaming media I met with podbird:
1.) https://github.com/ubports/media-hub/issues/12 play some stream, then turn off network, wait until playback hangs, turn on the network and try to play another stream. Result is that you need to restart app to play anything.
2.) issue is when during playing some media network is not fast enough and buffering of content is necessary, playback is not paused and it will skip part of the media
Another nice to have thing would be to be able setup metadata for sound indicator: album art, media name and the author
I know that these issues are not regressions, but they are bothering me with podbird a lot and maybe it would be useful to be fixed for your app too.
Thanks for all your effort, and I am going to test your build now

I was recently testing ubports GSI for OnePlus 3T, and Camera experience there was great. Much faster switching between cameras, faster recovery after taking photo, video recording worked, even video playback works. I think that are last pieces for this phone to get properly working. Would be possible to take advantage of this for Halium 7.1 port?

@CiberSheep Thanks for extensive testing, I can reproduce it too.
