Devlog #5 THE BIG REHALL :

this might’ve been the largest update since the beginning of the project, simply put I have done a FULL UI redesign along side completing the streaming functionality along side other cool features , also the project has matured as a real project with commits to github and tests instead of just remembering what i have changed, unfortunately i can’t upload videos directly because of network issues so i have to upload to youtube
So the main changes are :

• A heavily apple tv / apple music inspired design , I took a bunch of ss from my phone and tried to copy them as close as possible

• Added a watchlist and continue watching with progress parse , so you can get back from where you left off
  A side note here FOR SOME REASON when i tried to force it to start the video from the saved last time , the player got stuck on that specific timestamp BUT when i removed the code and returned it just to play the video from the start IT SOMEHOW WORKED , the player API FOR SOMEREASON hates when you try to force it to play from a specific time stamp , and have it’s down continue function IDK man :/

• Did some Bug fixes that i didn’t notice before , it’s quite hard to find bugs since I am the only play tester and the app is not really complete so I can’t use it for a daily user case yet

• Performance improvements since I was working before with an android emulator so i thought performance issues were with the emulator but got to try it on bare metal now and THIS APP STILL MANAGES TO FREEZE MY S22 so i can only think what it will do to lesser phones

There is just so much added I cannot talk about all of it the video should be more informative

To do :
The next thing is most def going to be downloads, but i am quite sure it’s the thing that’s going to take the most amount of time cuz I am going to have to somehow curl or fetch them since there is no api or somehow implement torrenting , but that’s going to be my last resort , I already have a good website in mind that acts more like a directory and it have everything in it , exactly like torrenting , but since it’s a WEBSITE , i am gonna have to try find a way to get only the stuff i am going to need
I think i am going to work on the UI first
Yes ik i am procrastinating but it’s HARD yk :)
also here is a dancing lain since i need to upload photos
