Happy to help. Would prefer not to post me email though. Can I send another way? |

Thank you. Well understood. Would it be better to do it through a google group? |

Link for play store is not working, but searching for podcini brings up this app: Is that it? If so: can't import my current database. If I try to import , it says that the file(PodciniBackup-2024-11-26.realm) is not a database. |

Thank you for your effort and message. The app you got must be of version 4 that I tried to launch long time ago but abandoned. For the current app (Podcini.R), Google complains of violation of some family policy, so I need to sort it out. Will update the status shortly. |

6.15.2.1 on Google Play now has the same signing key as Podcini here, so it can be installed over an existing install (except if you installed 6.15.2 from Google Play, in which case, you need to uninstall it and install the new update). |

Hi. Hate to be that guy, but sadly it's not working. Getting the same "Podcini.R" cannot be installed" error message, when trying to update GitHub play version 6.15.2 via the Google Play store to version 6.15.2.1. |

Hum, sorry about that. 6.15.2.1 is clearly using a different key from 6.15.2 on Play: I needed to uninstall the existing 6.15.2 from Play to install 6.15.2.1. Let me find out why it can't install on an existing install from Github. |

So Google Play's signing is complicated: it requires 2 sets of signing keys: app signing key and upload signing key. While I have both ready, approval for resetting upload signing key may take a couple days. So we will wait a bit for getting a new version with compatibly signed apps. |

Can confirm. It's possible to upgrade from GitHub version to Google Play store version. |

Two comments on this post. If it's preferred to split them, happy to do so. I also have a feature request (again, not a dev so I have no idea what it would take to implement), it would be nice to have an option to limit the number of simultaneous downloads, which I find to be helpful either on lower-end devices or slow connections. |

I see and agree with you. The new fonts are chosen on the first step of migration to Jetpack Compose. I plan to refine them (and also the color scheme) later when most parts are migrated (Video player remains a major one now.) |

I checked the setup on this. It's using the default provided by Android (supposedly Android knows about the condition of the device and provides an optimal number, max at 4 I guess). This number can be made to be reset by the user, but I'm not sure if it actually can make it more optimal. Have you noticed any problems with this? |

I wouldn't call it a "problem" necessarily. I just have noticed that on my current data connection (can be occasionally intermittent and lower data rate) that downloading one or two files at a time is more reliable than 3-4. However, this is a non-issue with a consistent network connection. |

What is a "pre-IPO" member? Is Podcini issuing financial securities? |

Formal listing on Google Play is finally approved. Thanks to everyone for the kind support. I have't received notice for everyone participating the testing. If you have done that, and would like to be added to contributing member's list, as promised, I'd be happy to add you in. Honestly let me know. |

That'd be cool! I have a couple more bugs I'll be submitting also. Just haven't had a chance to get them over to you. |

Well, after approving it, Google rejected it with some unclear reasons, but it sounds like having to do with accessing to youtube contents. So this is likely never listed on Google Play unless it was due to other reasons that can be amended.
But thanks anyway to all for the support in testing it.
