Timeout error during search #98

Closed gboudreau closed 7 years ago

gboudreau commented 7 years ago

Search is the only function that still use the old API. That old API sometimes simply times out.

Error is:

Timeout error (20 s for "https://api.tou.tv/v1/toutvapiservice.svc/json/SearchTerms?query=...)

To work around this, we should lower the timeout for that API call, and just retry it a few times if we get Timeout errors.

When you hit the search button in the Android application, it downloads the whole list of content from the /search API endpoint (which we already use for listing stuff), and I guess it does the search all client side. I think we should do the same, and stop using the old API altogether. WDYT?

Yes, that would be best.
