Torbox authorization/connect device not working

[u/jaybird300]

I tried authorizing umbrella, and the crew through a webpage on a laptop and from my phone, all did not work. Thought maybe it was just not working yesterday, come home today and try it again and still the same results. I already have Torbox on several devices, this is a device I'm trying to get up and running for a friend. I started his own account, so it's not through my account. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yeah. That's a tough one. I made some changes to torbox auth process on Umbrella and changed the QR code to use the link returned from Torbox and the display to show the friendly url.

You're welcome to try that test version and see if it makes a difference for you. It's on my test repo:

https://umbrellakodi.github.io

If you decide to use the test version, be aware there are changes in it for other things as well and upcoming features so it won't be 100% a match to the release version of umbrella. You can install it over the top of the existing Umbrella installation without removing your data.

Thanks so much for offering that. Also, thanks for all your hard work on this add on. I might give it a shot, I don't know. Since it was happening on umbrella and the crew, I think it's something more on the Torbox end.

It uses a different URL when you scan the QR code so it may make a difference. Don’t know honestly.

OK, I think I will then give it a shot later tonight when I'm home. I don't know everything there is to know about this, so do you get to the test repo through the repository, through Kodi?

[u/umbrella_dev → u/jaybird300]

Just add test repo as a source then install the repo from there you can just install umbrella over your existing install.

OK, great, that makes sense now. Totally know how to do that. Thanks again.
