🔥 Title: Issues with Account Syncing & In-App Sharing #1306

Closed FUSIONOF closed 3 weeks ago

FUSIONOF commented 3 weeks ago

Steps to reproduce

🛠️ Steps to Reproduce: Launch any version of the CloudStream app (Beta or Stable). Search for the following titles: Strangers From Hell (Asian Drama) Classroom of the Elite Season 2 (Anime) Junji Ito Maniac (Anime) Tomie (Anime) Midnight (Movie) Unlocked (Movie) Hunt (Movie) Notice the missing option to sync these titles, even though they’re available on the syncing service's website.

Expected behavior

🔮 Expected Behavior: The app should allow syncing with the service for all titles available on the syncing platform's web version.

Actual behavior

Actual Behavior:

Two Major Issues:

  1. Syncing Issue:
    I recently created accounts on Simkl, MAL, and AniList to sync my watch progress. Unfortunately, some titles (listed above) don’t have a syncing option in both the stable and beta versions of the app. These titles are available on the syncing service's website but are missing the sync option in the app. 😕

  2. Sharing Problem:
    My sibling and I are regular users of CloudStream, but when she’s far away, it becomes a hassle! Searching through countless results from various websites, many of which have issues like not connecting, lacking my local language, or having poor quality, is frustrating. 😩
    After finally finding the right stream, the sharing feature only sends the web link, not the direct stream link! This causes further problems, such as shortened URLs that require solving or links that only allow downloads instead of streaming. 🥲

    Suggestion: Could you enhance the in-app sharing by enabling direct sync between two CloudStream apps? If that's not possible, at least allow syncing the watch progress across shared accounts so that my sibling can directly access the stream I found without hassle! 😊
