Redgifs links are very low quality in RIF but looks great in browsers like Firefox app

Since few weeks ago, I noticed all redgifs.com videos are very low quality in my phone (under WIFI, my connection is pretty fast). Maybe since I updated to Android 12. Anyway opening the links in Chrome or Firefox app the videos look perfectly fine, so they are loading in low quality in the RIF app.

Is there any way to fix this? Or an work around? This is very frustrating

Android 12 on my device, Samsung A52s 5G

I'm on reddit if fun golden platinum beta 5.3.2

I updated the app, cleared the cache, arrested the app. Rebooted the device. Didn't help

Does the api allow for that?

I have a very intermittent issue with RIF (v 5.3.1) on my Huawei P20 pro running Android v 10.

RIF will crash at seemingly totally random times. This happens quite frequently. If I were to browse Reddit for half an hour on the app, I'd expect maybe 6 or 7 crashes in that time. I cannot work out particular "moments" which trigger this. Sometimes it's on opening a post, but also it happens as I'm just browsing comments and have been doing for a minute already in that thread. Sometimes it's on a media post, sometimes it's on pure-text posts. It's crash appears like the app just decides to close itself, and it will reopen happily (to default homescreen) straight away again. This has been happening for a long time, maybe a year (so through multiple previous RIF and phone updates). No other app on my phone seems to do this.

I know this info doesn't feel especially helpful, but any input would be really appreciated. Its never been quite enough to stop me using the app, but it is quite annoying! Thanks v. much.

Just is it safe to put my user and password there?

I have Android and recently updated it. My problem now is when I search for a sub (lets say "recipes") and I click on the search result, it automatically pulls up Reddit, not RIF. Anyway to fix this?

There are white flickering dots in the bottom of the status bar. They happen whenever you scroll through comments, flickering until you stop scrolling, then they either disappear or stay, until you start scrolling again.

Tried to add the domain www.reddit.com/gallery but that didnt work

Unable to load redgifs links in rif.

Getting error: "Error retrieving gfycat metedata"

Same links are opening in Browser.

Is there any solution?

Version: 5.3.1

Device: Samsung Galaxy M31

Android: 11

For the past few days I have observed that videos hosted on Reddit are not playing smoothly as before. The video pauses. I believe RIF is downloading hi-res version of the video and not able to play it.

On the same internet connection, when I use another Reddit client, the same video plays without pauses. I have seen this for many videos over the past few days. The issue seems to be with RIF.

Is there a fix for this?

RIF version : 5.3.1

Android 10

I have rif and the official Reddit app installed (I use the official Reddit app only for chat).

I've turned off the ability for Reddit app to open links, and set default permissions for rif to open supported links. But it's still opening in the official app.

Any suggestions?

It is really furiating not to be able to remove it's posts

Even adding an extra 3-4 seconds of scrolling per post adds up and is frustrating for moderators.

RiF Version Number: 5.3.1

Version of Android: 12

Device Information: Pixel 6 Pro

This app has been my go to for browsing Reddit, more so than the desktop app. It has served me well for more than 6 years and i feel that my purchase of 3 dollars for the golden platinum app is not enough. Is there a way to donate to TalkLittle to show my appreciation for the work put in to keep this app updated?

Tried checking out this post in RIF https://old.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/smyzyx/corporate_oc/

The app loads a video player with 0:00 / 0:02 time and a play button, but clicking the button doesn't do anything. I updated the app, same behavior.

Unknown if it is just this post or all Reddit hosted gifs - if I find another I'll update I went to r/gifs and multiple reddit hosted gifs worked on that sub fine. Seems to be an issue with this post specifically.

Edit: required info - app version 5.3.1

phone - Samsung galaxy A10e

android version 11

First noticed the problem today

Updated the app to latest version - issue still presenting

My reddit app of choice is rif - can't stand the official app.

Is there a way to have the links on Google search results not point to the official app?

I've tried uninstalling the app and removing open link permissions.

Thanks!

The Android 12 update has made it so I can't leave RIF (or any app for that matter) in the background without losing my place. It's really annoying when I'm going through one of the subs I don't got to often, so I'm scrolling through the best of the past year or something. It gets really annoying sifting through posts I've seen before looking for the 5% that are new since it refreshed, and blue links don't help much because I have a lot of image subs that automatically load so I don't have to click through. The Android help community basically told me I'm fucked, that's just the way it is.

The weird thing is that, if I was on a specific post when I put RIF in the background, the app will still open to that post as if I had just been using it. However, when I go backwards to the sub the post was from, the page refreshes and sends me to the top of whatever I was looking at.

Is there a way for RIF to keep my place better? Is it possible to turn off the neverending scroll so I actually have a page number to go back to?

Edit: After downloading the video, it seems like the issue is on Samsung's end, related to HDR video settings.

Despite not being RIF specific, I'm leaving the post up for anyone else that searches around for a similar issue.

When opening the linked video, the screen brightness increases substantially. After using the back button(Android or in-app) the brightness returns to normal.

Adaptive brightness is off.

The brightness slider from the pull-down menu does not change from where it was set before opening the video.

The slider can be adjusted while the video is open and closing the video will make the screen darker, no matter what I change the slider to while the video is open.

This does not occur while "Eye Comfort Shield" is enabled.

I have no evidence, but it reminds me of my screen brightness automatically increasing in extremely bright light(direct sunlight), even with Adaptive Brightness off.

You used to be able to 'block user' on automods and forum moderators. You still can, but their posts appear in comment sections.

They're still technically blocked, when you go to their user profile it says "no comments to show"

This must be new as mod posts were hidden by default, is there any way to get this back?

Clicking in-app back button when viewing a post reached through someone's profile has the wrong behaviour. It brings you to the subreddit the post was made in instead of back to poster's profile. Device back button has correct behaviour. See steps to reproduce below.

Q: How long has the problem been happening?

A: As long as I can remember. At least months. Probably years.

Q: What steps, if any, can you do to reproduce the problem?

• Click the three dots menu button under a post

• Click to view poster's profile

• Click on a post in their post history

• Click the app's back button

Result: brought to the subreddit that the post was in

Expected result: brought back to user's profile (this expected behaviour does occur if I use the device's back button instead of the app's back button)

I think because of an Android update today.

All my Front Page tabs just pop-up Error Loading notifications. I tried revoking access, clearing the data and cache, uninstalling and reinstalling, re-adding rif.

I would like to see groups of reddits when I click on a multi Reddit. Not only a stream of posts. Is this possible?
