Cannot play any videos
- [x] I have verified that the bug does not occur in my mobile browser (at https://touch.facebook.com/)
Describe the bug Videos do not play. This has been a longstanding issue for me, spanning several versions of the app, and also occurring on every android device I have tried it with in the last few years. I apologize that I didn't submit this report earlier. I perhaps wrongly assumed people knew about it already. But maybe not everybody has the same experience I guess.
It wasn't terrible, because while Frost tried to load videos, I could just press the download button and watch them in gallery. But in the latest version of Frost, downloading media doesn't work anymore: it never ends up in gallery.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
- Try to watch a video
-
-
Details (please provide at least the app version):
- App Version: 3.2.0, but also every other version on fdroid
- Device: Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, but also the S20 and other devices
- Android Version: 13, but also previous versions going back to at least 11
Logs/Screenshots:
Easy fix. Go to settings. About phone. Software information. Tap build number 7 times. (This unlocks developer options).
Go back to setting and go to bottom you will now see developer options. Click developer option near the bottom you will see force activities to be resizable. Select that. Done. Fixed all issues with my apps not going into PIP MODE.
@Adham18hossam That didn't work. PiP mode isn't the issue here, by the way. The issue is that videos don't play at all, ever.
It's probably because the url being extracted is incorrect. Legacy Frost's videos had nothing to do with PIP. It was custom built before PIP was a thing
