>ExoPlayer is an application level media player for Android. It provides an alternative to Android’s MediaPlayer API for playing audio and video both locally and over the Internet. ExoPlayer supports features not currently supported by Android’s MediaPlayer API, including DASH and SmoothStreaming adaptive playbacks. Unlike the MediaPlayer API, ExoPlayer is easy to customize and extend, and can be updated through Play Store application updates.
So basically, Google made an open source player backend that is constantly updated and can be used to have comprehensive and high quality media playback (mkv support, etc) in any app regardless of the version of Android you use.
>Newpipe uses Exoplayer >Simple Gallery uses Exoplayer >RadioDroid uses Exoplayer >Transistor uses Exoplayer >Signal uses Exoplayer >every open source (and even some closed source) Android app moved to Exoplayer except for Floens Clover app
Here's Floens having to ask the Reddit sync developer how to fix playback issues, and the reddit sync developer just tells him that he moved to Exoplayer long ago! Floens still hasn't put Exoplayer into Clover!
Ever run into an issue playing WebM's on Clover? It's because Floens is still using an ancient media backend on Clover while everybody else is using the modern, bug-free-m high quality, Exoplayer backend.
Tell Floens to get off his lazy ass and give Clover good WebM playback with Exoplayer!
a fine Chan browser, but sadly abandoned some chans are already broken and no new ones are added
John Hughes
Because it's not free as in freedom.
Lincoln Robinson
I don't know what you mean, I can play webms just fine in Clover and I don't think it's ever been an issue. Even on other chans that allow audio.
Joshua Jackson
Clover works fine, quit shilling.
Zachary Clark
There's no issue playing webm in Clover. The issue is that images and webm take AGES to load. They load even slower than on the web browser!
Alexander Reed
>tfw Jow Forums doesn't care much about newer and better technology player like Exoplayer that doesn't have any cons whatsoever comparing to legacy player. Wow.
David Jones
You are a shyster.
Liam Green
>Simple Gallery uses Exoplayer And that's why it's shit.
Jeremiah Perez
this, how the fuck has floens not heard of buffering
Leo Fisher
Everything about this site has been shit since Nakamura stepped in.
Julian Miller
Can someone tell why Clover still doesn't have meme flags for /pol? Even shitty mimi app lets you choose flags.
Angel Sanchez
Same reason Clover has shitty webm playback right now.
Jose White
Well bug the developer about it then. If nothing happens, fork it and do it yourself.
because those flags are retarded just like Jow Forums
Zachary Reed
WebM playback is perfect in Clover, no need to add bloat.
Charles Allen
>WebM playback is perfect 1 out of 50 webms results in a playback error for me. This isn't bloat.
Brody Kelly
Open bobs and suse
Xavier Moore
I've literally never received any errors. Faster load times wouldn't hurt though.
Levi Edwards
>Faster load times wouldn't hurt though. Exoplayer is literally the fastest webm player right now.
Isaac Barnes
What phone do you have? Bet it's mediatek shit.
Luis Clark
Floens has abandoned this project. It's time to move on.
Brody Peterson
FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOENS
Parker Cooper
Snapdragon 625 nigga.
Isaac Phillips
Does anyone have the issue that some images fail to load on the first try (especially the big ones). You must try to load them multiple times to get it work. Never have any problems loading images on my computer.
William Flores
Yes and when flipping through webms there's always at least 1 webm that plays sound but the image is black and it says playback error.
Josiah Reed
Whenever I open a webm in Clover or Fennec my phone kernel panics and reboots. I know it's the fault of the kernel, but it's fucking annoying.
Ayden Baker
So who do you chose to blame? Obviously, Floens!
Grayson Turner
>Whenever I open a webm in Clover or Fennec my phone kernel panics and reboots. Let me guess, you use an old version of Android with a shit rom because you're poor and stupid as fuck and you're scared to install anything else because you're gay as well?
Justin Wood
I just installed LineageOS 14.1 on my redmi 1S. It never rebooted with shitty old MIUI.
Levi Taylor
I literally wrote that I blame the kernel (probably shitty video driver).
Jayden Anderson
>redmi 1S That was always a shitty phone, user. Buy yourself the latest, most popular Redmi instead.
Juan Collins
>images and webm take AGES to load That's because the load neighbor option is automatically turned on. There should be an option to turn it on and off.
Sebastian Barnes
>Ever run into an issue playing WebM's on Clover? No. It works for me. Fuck off google shill.
Jack Gonzalez
Who cares? Clover is still the best Jow Forums app.
Gavin Rodriguez
no (You)
Austin Jones
But it does? I can see a lot of meme flags there.
Nathaniel Bennett
How do I make Clover stop saving images to internal storage and start saving them to SD?
Blake Hughes
point it to a folder on your sd
Logan Wood
You can't
Landon Wood
I can't access those files from within Clover. It's a bit complicated to make an app do this, if I recall correctly.
Jace James
jesus christ you lazy faggots. Do you think the only purpose of FOSS is to stop the government and corporations from spying from you? If you don't like it, fix it yourself instead of complaining
>fix it yourself Maybe I would if Floens had bothered to document his crappy code.
Alexander Ortiz
The ironing is that foss is the engine that fuels all the spying facebook and jewgle don’t run windows.
Jacob Diaz
>1 out of 50 you can assign an external media player to play webms I tried mpv and it werked both for hardware and software decode it seems to be more of an issue of retards using special codecs rather than just vp9 it and forget
Jack Russell
older android could I think my solution is ghost commander with one tab on the sdcard the other on the clover folder
setting up an sdcard with ghost commander is odd you need to link it via built-in file manager due to android security fuckery
Gavin Perez
just work for free dude lol
Isaac Richardson
>you can assign an external media player to play webms fuck that. he just needs to incorporate exoplayer as the webm player. it's basically designed to play anything you throw at it.
Dominic Fisher
>he just needs to incorporate exoplayer as the webm player. have you tried opening a ticket on the github suggesting this or do you just want to bitch and moan on Jow Forums?
Andrew Evans
it's already been done
Jacob Edwards
then either start learning code to contribute, donate to/kidnap and force to code at gunpoint floens or just wait
Nicholas Ross
really? watching video there sucks. looping is broken/slow as fuck
Jaxon Long
Use Tasker
Leo Cox
This is the only true answer. It's open source for a reason, Applel consumer.
Caleb Wood
Please elaborate. Don't be afraid to show examples.
Christopher Cox
>watching video there sucks. looping is broken/slow as fuck works fine for me.
Nathan Sullivan
You can see but cannot pick those custom flags.
Liam Thompson
good
Owen Baker
There is no instance in which being able to choose a custom flag isn't beneficial.
Josiah Butler
fuck custom flags. they ruin the point of flagging.
Aiden Sanchez
Only have problems playing gifs on clover (only plays first couple of frames). Webms play perfectly
Sorry, meant to say should "have been". Clover still doesn't have that function. The workaround is to disable always load media, but the drawback is you have to tap each webm manually for it to load.
Jaxson Johnson
duh
Nolan Baker
its free as in free work from niggers as long as you whip them enough.
Gabriel Butler
Has always work fine on my machine
Alexander Diaz
1 webm was always worked on my device with clover, don't know what issues you want to fix. 2 Its open source, you can implement it yourself and send a pull request. 3 The app its free and without ads. Can you get any more selfish?
Not that you don't have a valid point, just don't like your approach of blaming everything on the main developer
Try using clover dev. Stable is outdated last time I checked.
Only if your phone is rooted. Use foldermount or manually make a script to mount bind your internal folder to sdcard.
Benjamin Miller
Another webm that Clover can't play for me.
Sound works but "failed to open image"
Isaac Gonzalez
I have a 30$ phone and all the webms you post play no problem.
Dylan Price
Clover Dev said the same thing. Webm video error. On all the ones I linked. I am using a Snapdragon 625 device.
Connor Bailey
I don't know what is going on. Clover can't play them but Simple Gallery plays them fine. Simple Gallery uses Exoplayer so I guess Clover does need that for me.
99% of webms work for me except ones like those I linked. I can find more just by swiping on /wsg/.
Liam Green
Dunno, then. My device is using snapdragon 616, even shittier than yours. The other guy also sounds like he's using cheap phone. Maybe Clover only works on shitty phones? Kek.
Jaxson Ramirez
I'm not sure what part of "it's just you" you don't understand
