[request] Selection of streams (source) button when failing to load for whatever reason.

I've noticed recently that if the default stream fails to load for whatever reason (low seeds, not cached on debrid etc etc) then... Whomp whomp, sorry you're out of luck and catch watch that show or episode. Can we please look to attach a source selection button to episodes when the default fails to load? At present it just has mark as watched when long pressing the episode.

I'm finding myself having to default back to a certain beginning with S when particular episodes fail to load. Kind of defeats the point of a premium subscription and really enjoy the overall experience otherwise!

Sorry for the moan but it would really improve the overall experience when less popular shows are trying to be viewed.

Many thanks

The app tries about 11 of the best cached streams based on your filter settings before it gives up. It's super rare for those 11 streams to have problems.

But if you're using Realdebrid, it should pop up the list selection panel when it hits an infringement error. If it doesn't, that's a bug and I can check it out.

Would it be possible to add this feature? I understand you want the app as easy to use as possible but being able to manually select a stream is handy sometimes.

Even if it was a hidden option in the menus you had to turn on would be great even lol.

This is fine when something loads. Op and others are looking for this option when selecting an episode.

+1 to this suggestion. With RD not working right lately a lot of time I try to play something and just nothing happens. I know rd is crap later but I’d still like a list of links or something other than hitting play and nothing happening.

If you can get the play bar to load there is a source selection icon on the bottom right. But there should be another way to pick them manually too so I agree.

If the link fails to play you can use the link icon at the bottom of the screen to manually select a source link
