More video problems
Having Loops problems, it took a few weeks, maybe a month before I was able to upload that last video, and I thought the app was working.
Nope, yesterday's video is a no go, I get the title typed... And it crashes, doesn't even start uploading. Not sure if recording in the app would work better, it refused as I hadn't given it mike permission, something it never asked for.
That's one of the weirdest things, it never asked for any permissions, oddly it can upload videos even though it doesn't have permission to access them, but it can't record as it doesn't have mike access, how's that work? Also it apparently has no notification function, I tried to allow it, but got told nope, it doesn't do notifications, which seems a bit odd, I mean how do I know if someone commented or liked a video without opening the app?
I might need an update, not sure, nor do I have any idea how to do that as I'd side loaded this as soon as it was available, so dunno how that works.
EDIT
Forgot the notification thing
Loops is... interesting

I guess I'm one of those original artists, I've never really been interested in YouTube shorts or TikTok or Reels, though I have enjoyed content from all three, so far I've only created an intro, and one silly comment video about my wardrobe choices for the day, and anything else I post there will be original content.
Roknrol reshared this.
I've gone Loopy...
Wait, I've always been a bit loopy, I meant to say that I've joined Loops. Actually joined it last week, but finally posted my first vid, just a little intro video, but I think there'll be more as I like it. I could use to find a PeerTube for longer stuff, and I'll likely do a second intro since I think I'm going to make more use of this than I'd originally thought, but we'll see.

in reply to dansup • •@dansup AAAnd an update, plus feature requests
Today I tried recording a video, and that worked fine. so the problem is with uploading a video, but not with compression as the app quits/crashes when I go to fill in the description, so before compression.
Feature Requests
App permission setting, most apps ask permission for what they need the first time you launch it, Loops doesn't, so it'd be nice to see that become a thing.
Notifications, why doesn't the app do notifications? I'd like to get an alert when someone likes or comments on one of my videos
Allow recording of videos without requiring the record button to be held down, that's rather inconvenient for the type of videos I make
