Bug report

Describe the bug

Here is a clear and concise description of what the problem is:

Ever since I updated to Kore 3.0.0, I always get a double confirmation prompt when sending a Youtube video to Kodi by using Kore. For example, I use an app called NewPipe to browse Youtube videos, then select "play with Kodi", which sends it to Kodi via Kore. Then I get an Android prompt showing "Open www.youtube.com links with Kore?". I can choose "Just once" and "set to always open". The first option works, the second one opens Kore settings in Android, where I can enable "Open support links". The problem is, it is already enabled, as I have done this a thousand times. It used to work flawlessly with Kore 2.

Expected Behavior

Here is a clear and concise description of what was expected to happen:

Sharing to Kodi should work without asking for confirmation.

Actual Behavior

I keep getting a confirmation to open youtube links in Kore.

Possible Fix

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Use NewPipe, send a video to Kodi
  2. Android asks "Open www.youtube.com links with Kore?". Choose "Always open"
  3. Nothing happens, it will keep asking the same thing

I understand that you think this is a Kore issue, but i'm 99% sure it isn't. It almost surely is an issue with your device/android version. The popup you see is Android's, and there's no Kore code in there.

What i would suggest you to do is to uninstall Kore and install it again to see if your device then saves the correct settings. Also if you have access to another device, try it there to see if it works correctly.

As i've said, i'm pretty sure that this isn't a Kore issue, so i'm inclined to close this, as there's nothing we can do on our end.

@SyncedSynapse I uninstalled Kore, and installed version 2.5.3 (the apk from github), but the issue persists. I don't remember which version of Kore I had before, but it's probably the one published in the Google Play store before 3.0.0. I haven't changed my device or updated Android, so is it possible the issue is caused by NewPipe?

SyncedSynapse commented 1 year ago

I suspect that the issue is caused by your device's version of Android, not Kore or NewPipe.

The previous version on the Play Store was 2.5.3, but it's better to get it from https://mirrors.kodi.tv/tools/kore/releases/

(the one from 2021 or 2020)
