Source information

Aniworld

Source language

German

Steps to reproduce

Because this happens randomly, or in other words, I couldn't find any relation, you just have to get lucky.

The issue is also, that sometimes a source plays a video, but after closing the player and trying to play it again, it wont do that.
So you just have to get "lucky", that the Aniyomi player shows you the infinite loading circle.

And thats where the issue lies: It is loading infinitely. After a time, it should jump to try the next source.

This also happens when long pressing the download button.

Expected behavior

The program should jump to the next aviable source.

Actual behavior

The player loads infinitely. Following error message is repeated infinitely in the logs:
E FrameEvents: updateAcquireFence: Did not find frame.

Which app are you using?

Aniyomi

App version

0.16.4.3

Temporary fix

In the extension settings you can tick/untick your sources. Just untick the source that causes trouble. Most of the time its VOE (at least for me). Be sure that only the working source it ticked. Remember that maybe you have to do this for every show or episode, because how irregular the errors occur.

Android version

Android 14

Other details

No response

Voe is a video host or hoster, not a source. Extension controls the first or default host based on user's preferred ext settings (when the ext offers it) through sorting mechanism.

I suppose technically ext can try to hit each video links one at a time to see which one is working on behalf of the user, though personally I think it's not worth to code something user can already do with minimum effort.

Thanks for the answer.
English isn't my native language, so I meant host when I said video source.

If it is not that hard to code, I would support this as a new feature to implement.
Since sometimes some hosts work, then the next minute or for a different episode or show, they don't work. Without any reason.

Thats why it would be a lot helpful. Otherwise you have to try enabling/disabling very host very often.

FYI, maybe that is relevant. (I just discovered this too):

No worries, just thought I'd share the keyword to use in case you want to search further.

I agree it would be a nice feature to have.

There were some discussion around hosters last month in Aniyomi's dev Discord channel. Not sure what's the result of it except no timeline when or how it'll be implemented.
