nineanimator's Issues

[BUG] Downloads restart when reaching 99.9%

Describe the bug
Every time I try to download an episode, when it reaches 99.9% it restarts from 0% and so on again and again.
I tried different sources and servers but same issue

Version 1.2.6
BUILD 1

suggestion: add catalyst support

Suggestion : add Italian server

Can you add https://animeunity.it/ server? 🙏🏻

GoGoAnime search

if self.totalPages == 0 {
   Log.info("No results found")
   throw NineAnimatorError.searchError("No results found for \"\(self.title)\"")
}

Thats a bad way for checking it there is no results since when you search for One punch it will be one page with results but it will get caught as no results

https://www3.gogoanime.io/search.html?keyword=One%20Punch&page=1

What you can do is check for .items > li which should return empty if none

https://www3.gogoanime.io/search.html?keyword=adasdasd

Too many http redirects

Error with 9anime source which won’t allow authentification.

[Feature Request] "Intelligent Search"

Is not a request but a suggestion, is possible to implement "intelligent search"? For intelligent I mean: if you are searching an anime in a specific source and the search will return empty the app automatically search the same thing on another source. All the source will be stetted in the settings so you can add only 2/3 sources and not search for example in the Italian source

[BUG] 9ani.app links do not open in NineAnimator

When opening a 9ani.app link safari, this is what appears:

When clicking “View”, it simply redirects you to the anime website, instead of opening NineAnimator.

Anime Lists not complete

The "Completed" and "Planned" section does not pull the entire list of anime from Kitsu.io.

Error issue

I’m not sure what causes this issue but every time I try to click on an episode it gives those error. The error message is JSON could not be serialized because of error: the data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format.

[Feature Request] change the color of text

I’m talking about changing the color of text to a color of our liking except for just purple.
This feature allows oled dark mode to work since the text wont look off and more customizability never hurts anyone.

[BUG] Scheduled anime’s description shows HTML tags

As seen in the screenshot, descriptions on scheduled anime have HTML tags

[BUG] Apostrophe is shown in encoded format

Describe the bug
Apostrophes shows up as '

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Featured section of the app
2. Scroll down until you see an anime title with an apostrophe. I’ve also attached an image:

Screenshots

masterani.me is gone; needs an update

Need an update on readme and code on github.

Pinching inwards on an open episode will not close playback like pressing “X” does.

[BUG] Animepahe "This episode does not exists"

• Device: [iPhone 7 Plus]
• OS: [iOS 13.3]
• Version: [1.2.6 (3)]

Unable to stream episodes 481-502 of
“Detective Conan” on source Animephae, I’ve made sure if all these episodes were working or not finally concluding that all twenty-two episodes do not stream.

I’m unsure if this is only effecting these episodes, it’s possible other anime might be experiencing the same issue for that matter.

p.s
The episodes 481-502 are able to stream on Animephae’s website.

Free developer account not supported in newest builds

Hi, just wanted to let you know that the newest two builds use associated domains and thus require a paid developer account. It would be great if you still made it possible to build it with the free account :)
Thanks

[BUG] KissAnime Error: "This episode is not available on the selected server"

HydraX isn’t working for kissanime, and sometimes nearly all servers won’t work, when I watched yuuna and the hot springs it only worked with hydraX, every other server said there was an error.

Apple TV App

It would be really nice if you can make a apple tv app, most people like to watch animes on tv rather than on iPhone.

P.S. NineAnimator UX/UI + user experience is really next level.

[Feature Request] Add descriptions to each episodes

Each episode in a anime series should have a button to show the description. This will make finding certain clips from an anime much easier to find. You might be able to use Crunchyroll as they have descriptions for many animes, publicly available.

Roku TV support

Hey could you add support for casting to Roku? iPhones aren’t ‘out-of-the-box’ compatible with Roku but many apps are able too. Thanks! The app is beautiful btw! 🤘🏽

[BUG] NineAnimator doesn’t sync with MyAnimeList

1. When long pressing an episode to mark it as “complete” or “unwatched”, NineAnimator doesn’t update MAL to reflect the changes.
2. It seems that NineAnimator only pushes updates to MAL, but doesn’t not fetch them. This means that marking an episode as complete on MAL website will not show that change on the NineAnimator app.

Verystream.com

Hey verystream.com doesn’t work as a server on 9anime for example for kimetsu no yaba

Suggestion: no Home permission

if I go to preference --> home and hit "no" on the permission request the next time I will not have an error if I press "starts" or "ends". Error could be useful if I not remember to refused the request on past time

NineAnimator issues

I’m having some problems with the app. Everytime I click on an anime for example highschool dxd, it takes forever to load the episodes and than says “there is something wrong with the URL” and sometimes also says cannot gather information or something like that. I am using the source anime ultima. If this is a bug can you please fix this ASAP or if this is a bug on my part if you will be able to tel me what’s wrong and how I can fix it I will appreciate that :3

Says I cannot download an episode because i do not have permission to a certain file

It says I do not have permission to a file named ‘com.marcuszhou.nineanimator.Of-flineContents’ so i cannot download any episodes to watch offline. Help needed

No way to backup downloaded videos

As someone who uses a signing service, I am often forced to uninstall and reinstall apps whenever a new update releases.
Because of this I would like to be able to somehow backup the videos I have downloaded. Maybe with a Open In option, saving to camera roll option or making the video files accessible via the built in Documents app on iOS (like VLC)

Otherwise, great job on this app, I really like it 👍

Problem With Casting

Hello there! It seems that mp4upload does not work for casting with chromecast. Whenever I try to cast, selecting this server since it has the best quality 1080p it loads and it freezes the TV Screen with only the NineAnimator logo. There are also some other servers that do not work, like openload, whenever you click an episode to play, it opens up the video on the screen of the phone and there is no way to cast it into the TV! Could we please ask for a fix? Is it possible? Thanks for the hard work! Best Regards, Constantine

[Feature Request] Add AnimeWorld Support

Hi i would like if you add this italian server https://www.animeworld.tv/ who host ita sub and dub, and i can help with the traslation, i done a sketch

Unable to watch anime even with a different source selected.

[BUG] Anime Subscription Notification Not Working

not receiving notifications for new episodes.

[BUG] Losing Reference to Alamofire Session

Having nineanimator errors
It’s takes a while to load the anime’s information and it gives this error don’t know what’s its asking clear cache and all but still doesn’t work

Download issue

I get a error message when trying to download on my iPad Pro iOS 13.1.3

“…you don’t have permission to access com.marcuszhou.nineanimator.offlineContents“

twist.moe error

An error occurs whenever I try to play or download an episode from twist.moe. The error says “Video streaming information has been corrupted”. I’m guessing it might be the encryption key that may have been updated like earlier, but I’m not sure. Been happening since around the beginning of August.

Please make a new release on GitHub

Some people on discord are using the .ipa files on github. However, the current release is build 1, while TestFlight has build 3, so its getting kinda old. Can you make a new release?

suggestion: add tvos support

I saw that you were eager to dive into catalyst...
Since you did such a nice MVC separation maybe in the future you are willing to add another UI for tvOS :)

Tracking service issue

Tracking with Anilist.co is not working. MAL and Kitsu works fine but it’s not working with anilist.co.

[Feature Request] Add ability to clear items from search history

Swiping left on an item should delete it from the search history, similar to the youtube app. A clear all search history button would also be nice!

NineAnimator cannot get passed authentication

Hi so I’m having problems where I click on an anime and the episodes don’t load it than asks me for a authentication I open it and it takes forever than gives me this network error sign it’s keeps repeating the error and I cannot change server I’ve deleted and reinstall the app clear cache downloads etc here’s a picture I would really like some help thank you

[Wonderful Subs] Not working

mp4upload server is not working

mp4upload server is not working

[9anime] JSON Serialization Error: Data isn't in the correct format

So I’m in the 9anime.ru server, And for some reason I’m getting this error on the picture below when I try to watch Anime, if you could help me with this that would be amazing! Thank you!

[Feature Request] Custom Themes

FULL CREDIT TO:
Shinobi God#0490
On discord for the idea!

Allow user to choose from list of predefined color schemes, or let them choose a set of colours to create their own theme. Example below:
https://imgur.com/a/aSJqB5D

Suggestion: Have an active save file in the new file structure/system

Make it so that it is possible to extract a file that has all the metadata of watched anime, settings, etc from the files app and move to a fresh copy of the app. (E.g. if the ignition cert invalidates)

Edit 1: the file is constantly updated so that in the event that you cannot access the app UI, there is still an up to date save file.

Edit 2: this should be possible; I can still access the file structure of the invalided iTorrent app through the files app

WonderfulSubs - Server FA does not display subtitles

Love what you're doing and just wanted to bring this to your attention if it wasn't already. Tried both on my phone (iPhone 8 Plus 12.2) and AppleTV 4K via AirPlay. Video plays just fine but no subtitles are shown.

Example Case: Kanata no Astra/Astra Lost in Space

Any ideas?

Darkmode into 'true black'

Add a third or replace the current 'greyish black' theme with a 'true black' one to save more battery on OLED devices.
