Picture download failes with "A resource failed to call close."

Open eku opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

When downloading any attached file from the conversation thread it starts downloading, shows download percentage and finally fails.

Device: Android 9 (Lineage 16.0-20200325-NIGHTLY-bardockpro) Conversation: 2.10.5

logcat:

Same for 2.10.6? Any other upload server too?

2.10.6 is still no available on F-Droid. As for the server, I can say that it works in the other direction. On the other site runs Conversation Legacy.

Oh wait, the old Conversations is from 2018, things have changed in the mean time, encryption wise.

Not an issue then.

Any reason to stick with the old version? It's obsolete, misses some security fixes let alone Audio/Video calls.

I use this combination since years and I know it worked very well.

Remember that the download of the file starts and progress is shown. How could that be an encryption problem?

#2908 My home automation supports only OTR and not OMEMO.

Ok, decryption wise stuff has moved along...

This happens for unencrypted files too you mean?

My home automation supports only OTR and not OMEMO.

Some thoughts:

  • If you are offline you'll miss the messages, right?
  • Why not self host then? No need for encryption.
  • The tooling of FHEM can't use a different program to send the message? You'd use a CLI one that has OMEMO then
