No. Any other silly questions?
Well, that's incredibly irritating. It's a PeerTube instance, and I paste the link into the PeerTube app, and it fails.
Yeah, I think the official android app is pretty bad, sadly, from all I have heard. Not all the devs fault - I heard they had problems with apple/google app store rules, where they were under extra scrutiny to only allow videos from a "vetted and moderated search index" or something to be allowed on their app. (ludicrous, IMO, that their project of all projects suddenly got scrutinised to that degree, compared to other shit on their stores)
I think there were some decent FOSS app alternatives on F-Droid, but since I myself am 99% on desktop or use just vanilla Firefox mobile, I am sadly not a good person to recommend apps myself.
Right, now I'm just totally confused. Because the channel itself appears to be on tube.kockatoo.org But when I click the video, it brings me to the abnormalbeings.space domain
Wait a second. It seems like the domain itself doesn't match the Federation. Did the domain change?
Ah, yeah, it's my own PeerTube instance, using the "share" function gives you a link to the instance you are currently on, not the original one. I use the PeerTube companion add-on to redirect PeerTube links to my own instance automatically (where I can easily interact with my own account), so always linking to the original instance can get a bit finnicky for me - and usually, it shouldn't be a problem. (Hadn't come up before)
But now that you bring it up - I gues "usually" might not include app interactions? 🤔
To be fair to you, the app still does not seem to pull it up, but instead of clicking the search button and it freaking out, telling me something went wrong, it just sits there and does nothing instead.
When I paste the URL from your instance, it tells me something went wrong. I went and found the original video on its original home instance and pasted that. And it just sits there and does nothing.
So a bit of a different problem, but still a problem all the same.
