Apps

[Jtanner00]

Hi I have this downloaded as an app on an iPhone. However, the list of websites that are allowed always open as apps which then doesn’t use the filter. How can I make this transfer over? Thank you

Hi @Jtanner00,

Thanks for reaching out about the iOS version of APF. Unfortunately not all the sites work on mobile due to the issue you mentioned where they redirect to the app. This is a decision made by those platforms and because of that there isn't much that can be done to circumvent it. There are a couple things you could try that have reportedly worked for some:

• Turn on "Request Desktop Site" for the site in Safari
• Uninstall the app (if installed)

I'm sorry that there isn't a bigger list of potential workarounds, and that there is some trial and error associated with it. As I mentioned above, it really is dependent on the streaming services, and they are make changes often. To make it even more complicated, streaming platforms have different policies for countries, so while Netflix may work just fine in England, it may not work in Canada (just an example).

If there is a specific site that isn't working for you I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can find anything more that could help, but it may be the case that it just can't be done right now.

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. I understand what you are saying. I had another question regarding adding my own website. I have this filter on my computer as well and it works fine for the sites I have added. I copied and pasted those same codes into the app on my phone but the filter only seems to be working for pre-written sited (such as YouTube). Any idea how I can fix this?

You're welcome @Jtanner00.

Its possible that some sites may use a different mechanism for their captions/subtitles on mobile sites, so that could cause it to not work. My first troubleshooting question would be if you choose to hide the subtitles (Options page > Audio tab > Show only filtered), are they hidden on one of those custom sites? That will let us know if it is

If there is an example you'd like to share, I'd be happy to take a look into it.

I tried hiding the subtitles as well as starring profanity and it doesn’t seem to be applying on the customized sites (it does work for the pre-added ones). I’ll attach the code I have written.

{ "losmovies.id": [ { "className": "jw-text-track-container", "mode": "element", "subtitleSelector": "div.jw-text-track-cue", "tagName": "DIV" } ] }

Thank you

Hey @Jtanner00, sorry for the late response here, I'm in catch-up mode right now. As that isn't one of the officially supported sites, I can't say for sure what might be going on with it. If I had to guess though, you will likely need other custom config to go along with it, because the videos are actually played from another site. You might take a look at the Additional Sites page and see if you find any there that might help.

I'm going to close this issue for now, but feel free to comment if you have more questions.
