Comprehensive Review of the CloudStream App #1231
Description
Steps to reproduce
👋 Hello there! I'm a dedicated user of both the CloudStream and CloudStream Beta apps, and I have some bugs to report and suggestions to share. Here's a detailed account of my experience:
🐞 Bug Reports:
-
Extension Download Issue:
After updating CloudStream Beta, the extensions tab shows that 47 extensions haven't downloaded, even though they were all downloaded before the update. Despite searching the repositories 10 times and re-downloading all extensions, it still shows 47 undownloaded. I believe this is a bug. 🐛 -
Subtitle Search Issue:
When I try to search for subtitles for any movie or series online within the app, no results appear. This is another issue that needs attention. 🎥📝 -
Download Crash Issue:
When downloading two large files (around 2.5 GB each) simultaneously, one download crashes after reaching 200-300 MB. This has happened multiple times and seems to be a bug. 📥💥 -
Inconsistent Search Results:
Searching for the same movie or series in CloudStream Blue and CloudStream Beta yields different results. Some websites show results in one app but not in the other, even on the same network. This inconsistency has persisted across multiple updates and needs fixing. 🔍🤔
💡 Suggestions:
-
Disable Extensions Option:
Please add an option to disable extensions. With my network, only about 100 out of 400 extensions connect, and searching takes unnecessary time and data. An option to disable unused extensions would be very helpful. 📡⚙️ -
Download Scheduler:
Implement a download scheduler option for users with specific unlimited internet time windows. For example, I get unlimited net from 12 Noon to 6 A.M., and my sister gets it from 9 to 5 while in college. Adding this feature would be greatly appreciated. 📅⏰ -
Movie Sharing Feature:
Enable sharing movies from one CloudStream app to another. This would save my sister or friends from searching through 190 websites to find one with our preferred language and quality. A feature to add movies to a shared library accessible to all CloudStream users would be amazing. 🎬🔗 -
Automatic Tagging:
Improve the tagging system to be automatic. When I finish watching a movie, it should automatically be marked as completed. If I'm watching a movie, it should be tagged as watching, and if I drop it halfway, it should be marked as dropped. 🏷️✅
🙏 I know I’ve asked for a lot because I’m a big fan of your app. Its user interface is excellent, and the download option is superior compared to other apps like S.t.r.e.m.io. I believe in your team and know you can make these improvements. It might take time, but I have faith in your capabilities.
Thank you for reading! 😭❤️
