glimesh_app's Issues

Support displaying emotes in chat

When users use existing emotes, we should be able to show them in chat. Should not require any specific state of emotes since the chat message API knows the full path of the images.

Keep video open and playing while the user is watching

We should use something like https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_incall to prevent the phone from turning off the screen while users are watching a stream, unless the user specifically hits the power button.

App Fails To Load new Messages

So, I went live today and noticed that for some unexplained reason, the app somehow fails to load new chat messages and not showing them but if you use Community Made chat clients like MixItUp for example, it does show the new messages.

Glimesh App Version:

• 1.1.1+52

Android OS Version:

• 12

Device Type and Model Number:

• Samsung Galaxy A11
• A115F

Some thoughts on the Metadata area (and follow / view profile buttons)?

Happy timezone,

Had some thoughts on the location of the follow & view profile buttons on the channel page and just wanted to share them for any comments before implementing:

Rather than trying to squeeze the buttons into the stream title, would it be a better idea to put them in the metadata area like the below?

Additionally, I wonder if it'd be worth extending the metadata area to fill the whole chat area apart from the text box, then close it whenever the text box is tapped?

proposal Glimesh Mobile

• Glimesh Android live streaming

• communities Function

The communities function gives players a place to communicate

communities Template

Make glimesh.tv links open in app (when possible)

When a user clicks a glimesh channel or profile link, it should open in the app, or prompt the user to ask if they want to open it in the app

Automatically refresh stream listings regularly

Currently the only way to get new streams is to refresh the content -- likely we should either automatically refresh, or get some fresh streams each page load.

OAuth Authentication

We need to authenticate with the Glimesh API to provide user state. Requires the Glimesh API's OAuth to support the proper handshake.

Use proper category data

Showing the proper name instead of the slugs.

Auth flow doesn't always redirect

A user in Discord reported that the deep link didn't work when triggered from https://www.ucweb.com/

Add homepage channels

Will require a new API endpoint: Glimesh/glimesh.tv#719 and then can reuse the existing ChannelList components.

Make video "full screen" on landscape phones

Right now it just shows the video in 16 / 9 which "happens" to take up the screen on most mobile devices.

Add settings page

Some options:

• Dark / Light Mode
• Mature Content
• Language
• Chat Timestamps
• Mod Icons
• ???

Ideally these preferences mirror the website's based on your user account. If you have light mode enabled on Glimesh.tv it would automatically switch you over on the mobile app.

Add Following page

Can reuse the existing ChannelList components. There should be an API endpoint for this somewhere...

Remove follow button from your own profile

Might be a good idea to replace this with a link to your channel so you can interact on mobile.

Add User Profile screen

The app should show similar information to what you'd see on a user's profile page on the website. We would use the profile screen in two locations: viewing yourself, viewing others.

Namely:

1. Followers / Following count
2. Social media buttons
3. Team Role status
4. Report Button
5. User profile content

Profile links don't open on Android when a default app is set

We've had a few users report that their Twitter and Youtube links on their profile aren't going anywhere.
Did some debugging with a few folks in the Discord, and it seems that this happens when the app for that link is installed and the OS is set to always open links for that app in the app.

i.e. When tapping a Twitter link when the Twitter app is installed and Android is set to always open Twitter links in Twitter results in nothing, however setting Android to ask what do and then selecting the Twitter app does work.
We also had the exact same case replicated with the youtube app

It also seems that this behaviour is only observed on Android 11 and 12.

Bluetooth Audio doesn't work

I suspect since we're forcing the speakerphone to be enabled, none of the other audio devices will work.

Add streamer's username to the stream listing

Ideally, stream thumbnails should look as they do on the Glimesh.tv website, including:

• Title
• Username
• Language
• Mature

Optionally:

• Subcategory
• Tags

Depending on how we can size things for mobile.

Add i18n to app

Right now the app is only available in English. If we can reuse the po files generated for the main website, we can offer i18n pretty easily inside of the app.

Example: https://github.com/Glimesh/glimesh.tv/blob/dev/priv/gettext/pt_br/LC_MESSAGES/default.po

Add Notifications page

Add the ability to see & dismiss recent notifications. We should probably auto-expire them for the users as well.

Allow pausing the FTL video

Chat images compress when opening metadata

Might be fixed in #31

User Registration

Somehow we need to allow users to create accounts with the Glimesh service using keys that are negotiate before the user has permissions to the API.

This can be figured out later, for now we can require registration via the website.

Glimesh.tv Mobile App

Android & iOS app for viewing and chatting with streams on the go. Whether you’re out and about sitting in a park or on a break during class or work, you can quickly access our mobile app and watch your favorite streams. The first version of the app will be focused on the viewer experiences, with browsing streams, chatting, following, and other viewer experiences as the main focus.

This feature is still being groomed and could change frequently.

Support a chat-only mode

This would disable the video and only show chat, an example use case would be for a streamer to monitor their chat while live.

Audio buttons adjust phone volume instead of media volume

We've got the audio coming out of the media output device successfully, but it appears we're still registering some type of phone volume because by default adjusting the android audio changes the phone volume instead of media.

By default, pressing the volume control modifies the volume of the active audio stream. If your app isn't currently playing anything, hitting the volume keys adjusts the music volume (or the ringer volume before Android 9).
From: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media-apps/volume-and-earphones#java

Send the mobile app go live notifications

This is much more complicated, but putting a placeholder ticket for now.

Stream audio plays out of phone speakers

When watching a stream on Android, the audio plays out of the phone's speakers instead of the speakerphone speakers. Meaning the user has to put the phone up next to their face to hear the stream.

Add Follow / Unfollow functionality

We'll need to add these mutations to the API: Glimesh/glimesh.tv#718

Handle rotating screen without breaking everything

Afaik this is going to be difficult...

Something about state management...

iOS: Crash when trying to load a stream

Tried to open a stream on the latest commit of the app on iOS, seems like iOS might think we're trying to use the microphone:

flutter: [INFO] JanusClient: Creating Session

I botched the key into the info.plist and then it worked and I get video without a crash but, after what you'd said on Discord the other day about sound coming from the earpiece speaker, and that my phone suddenly decided to make noise (and made me jump, lol) I think somewhere (maybe in the janus library?) making devices think we're a VOIP app?
