Developer edit:
UPDATE!!!! before you post anything in this thread. F-Droid need 7 DAYS to release a new version and it DOESN'T PROVIDE THE LATEST VERSION


Checklist

  • I make sure I am using the LATEST version - check here
  • I understand that issues with limited impact, such as those occurring on specific devices or under specific network conditions, will not be fixed
  • I have attached the error report in the issue

Describe the bug

I am not sure why but often on other videos it asks me to reload the Page. I turned off and on the Network many times, force stopped and even reloaded the entire app and video page. Sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't.
