This discussion was created from the release v5.6.1.

[aadvik334]

hi there , I wanted to know if the app supports bit perfect hires playback

[MSOB7YY]

the underlying player doesn't currently, check issue 415 there https://github.com/androidx/media

[aadvik334]

Hello I am getting issue with the seekbar. It getting flat and there is no waveform, I tried changing the waveform count but still no help.

[MSOB7YY]

when playing yt content, the track must finish caching first in order to show waveform for first time, thats because an actual file on disk should be available
basically wait a min or smth.

if this happens on local library, please send files to test (or try latest beta https://github.com/namidaco/namida-snapshots/releases)

[aadvik334]

I am using flac files form my local library. And I'm on latest beta. I have attached the file below for testing.
Uploading zip1.zip…

[MSOB7YY]

ur files are not uploaded yet

[aadvik334]

zip1.zip
Ohh I have attached it once more

[aadvik334]

I am on the latest version

I even uninstalled and reinstalled the apps latest version but still the same issue.

[MSOB7YY]

send logs from about page

[MSOB7YY]

also sometimes it breaks on first app start, try playing smth else and then "suagr crash" again

[aadvik334]

[aadvik334]

Tried playing other files too but still the same issue.

[Ashgreninja7532]

I am getting this failed to get audio source when I am trying to play long length live streams 🙃

[MSOB7YY]

hi i did a small fix for this, wait next beta on https://github.com/namidaco/namida-snapshots/releases in few days

[BlaiseTzy]

i ran into an issue when i signed in my account.

here's how the error process went:
failed to get account cookies through webview
couldn't fetch user id
couldn't fetch user id for the next request
couldn't fetch user id
couldn't fetch user id for the next request

it DID show an account signed in, but it was a "?" and nothing was there, likely some ghost account sign ins.

this is happening on the LATEST version btw (v5.6.1, stable release)

[MSOB7YY]

it DID show an account signed in, but it was a "?" and nothing was there, likely some ghost account sign ins.

happens when fetching account info fails, but cookies are valid, so u are practically signed in but without account info

sadly its fairly common issue for some users, im not sure whats the common link but basically yt is somehow blocked for yall to be accessed within the app, maybe vpn/dns/isp etc
