All downloads start off as queued, and have to be manually started.

The new "DASH-less" MP4 muxer fixes #2039, but requires the double of space. For example, if we download a file of 1.2GiB (1GiB video/200MiB audio), with the new muxer aditional 1.2GiB will be required to work.

@krtkush @theScrabi It might be good to check wheter that much space is available. Otherwise users get errors and are frustrated.

TobiGr on 27 Jan 2019

Updated the translation.
@epitron The downloads where ment to be queued in this version, however it is new to me that they don't start automatically.
Can someone confirm this as well?
@kapodamy maybe you can check into this as well.

@yilmzfurkan Please use or bugreport converter next time.
This is a crash caused by our API. It does not return a valid JSON, but instead HTML content.

I guess @TheAssassin will take a look at it soon.

@Brimont I may need the android you use, since I can not reproduce this on 7.1.

Brimont on 29 Jan 2019

Has been published in our alpha-level F-Droid repo, too. If you want to try, pass by on IRC and get the URL.

TheAssassin on 29 Jan 2019

@theAssassin can you publish the post? I'll be home late tonight.

TobiGr on 29 Jan 2019

@TobiGr I will.

TheAssassin on 29 Jan 2019

Deployment on the way. I removed the TODO part, you may want to check the post and maybe update it tonight.

TheAssassin on 29 Jan 2019

Downloads of to-be-muxed (1080p) videos crash the app right at the end of muxing, leaving the file broken:

Filename.mp4

Code 1007
Post-processing failed

java.lang.Runtime.Exception: stopped unexpectedly

Affected version is 0.15.1, 0.15.0 doesn't have this.

x2k13 on 31 Jan 2019

Oh this thread should be closed.

@x2k13 all right, please open an extra issue about this, and post the full bug report as well as how to reproduce this :)
