Hello 3Speak & Hive community members,

@sagarkothari88 here. With this post, I will share updates on 3Speak Mobile App development.

3Speak Mobile App - Minor Update - v1.2.3 Release

  • I recently rolled out a new version, v1.2.3, on both Google Play Store & Apple's AppStore.
  • The following list describes the set of changes that were implemented in the new version.
  • ✅ Bug Fixed - Login with HiveAuth - Trim white spaces at the beginning and the end. @arcange reported it.
  • ✅ Bug Fixed - When canceling a broadcast, the app shows an infinite loading indicator. transaction. Reported by @arcange (When operations (like upvotes) are declined (sign_nack), the app displays it as an error (which it's not) and stays idle with the spinning wheel forever. This should be better managed.)
  • ✅ UI Improvement - Once the user is logged in via HiveAuth, there is no need to show QR codes for transactions like upvoting & comment.
  • ✅ UI Improvement - QR Codes, wherever displayed, must be tappable.

3Speak - Video Posting Automation

  • Mobile app users must come back to the app & manually publish the video.
  • I've added a script to automate the video posting to avoid this.
  • As soon as video encoding is complete, the video will be published by 3Speak on behalf of the user.
  • This will happen only if the user has given posting authority to 3Speak.
  • This script went through the intense review process
  • https://github.com/spknetwork/3speak-legacy-frontend/pull/7
  • Finally, it was approved by @vaultec.
  • I thank him for his rigorous code review, guidance & support.

3Speak - Video Status Update Automation

  • While publishing the video, some mobile users miss the step to publish the video.
  • Due to this video stays in the publish_manual state & stays in the invisible state.
  • Number of users encountered issue & reported it.
  • @offgridlife & some other users faced it.
  • I wrote a script to check videos published on Hive, but the status is incorrect. The script will take care of correcting the status of the published videos.
  • https://github.com/spknetwork/3speak-legacy-frontend/pull/7

3Speak <=> @Ecency Integration

  • I've been in touch with Adesojisauljay & @good-karma.
  • I was involved in resolving their doubts, and enhancing the APIs to support different use cases to implement 3Speak within Ecency.
  • https://github.com/spknetwork/3speak-legacy-studio/pull/13
  • I have also enhanced the API to support users logged in with Hive-Signer.
  • Changes suggested by @ecency are deployed & I am eagerly waiting for 3Speak on Ecency.

3Speak App - Customised Version for @arcange

  • For Berlin Event, @arcange needed a special build.
  • I worked on the feedback quickly & provided him with the build.
  • I thank him for the witness vote he has given & I am committed to more & more.
  • Here is the link to the document which I prepared to install the app before the event.
  • https://hackmd.io/@6LygYjWZQTyCgH-iDC8sNQ/rJTA0Nev3.

Collecting Feedback

  • I have been collecting feedback from several places.
  • I am monitoring the issues-support channel under the discord server.
  • All of the reported issues - I am keeping a note of them & adding them to my list of to-dos on Trello.

This will happen only if the user has given posting authority to 3Speak.

There are many '3speak' accounts, which one specifically has to be authorized to autopost the videos?
How long is the video retained in ipfs?

The one which you authorise with 3Speak.tv website.

That is alot of help, thanks.

The app is doing good and I tried for shorts which worked flawlessly for me.
I miss the My Subscribed Feed option so would like to see it added soon. Good that its already part of the plan

Hi @alokkumar121
