One year after version 1.0, we are launching Piwigo NG version 2.0 beta. Version 1.0 was intended to replace the previous Android application in order to quickly offer a viable and functional solution. Today, we focus on the future of Piwigo NG.
Thanks to the experience gained over the past year, we have decided to rework the application in 2.0. The new core design should make future features easier to implement and maintain. However, these changes can impact existing features. That's why we launch today an open beta-testing. We need to be sure nothing is broken.
You can access it on the play store:
Mobile: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta … .piwigo_ng
Web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/co … .piwigo_ng
In addition to fixing bugs, we will use the beta-testing period to implement auto-upload and photos sorting.
If you have any feedback, post it here on the forum https://piwigo.org/forum/ or on Github https://github.com/Piwigo/piwigo-flutter-app/issues

I try to get the piwigo NG app working on several Android based systems like phone, tablet, ..
The result is always the same. I can search for images, upload images and create new albums.
But the app does not show the existing albums on the server.
I try the current version (NG) from PlayStore and also the new beta version from these days.
My Server is Apache 2.4 on Windows 10. I am using PHP 8.1.11 and https protocol.
Piwigo on server side is the latest version 13.5.0
Any idea what is going wrong?
With an older Version of Piwigo and PHP 7.xx the app was working already.

Hi, thanks for your feedback.
Are you using "Community" plugin ? Or do you have any specific privacy settings on these albums ? (user and group permission for example)
Regards.

Hello, the issue seems to come from the gallery:
Piwigo NG logs:
I/flutter ( 8235): FormatException: Unexpected character (at character 1) I/flutter ( 8235): <br /> I/flutter ( 8235): ^
Instead of a json, the app gets html.
So I went to your API and tryied pwg.categories.getList:
<b>Deprecated</b>: strip_tags(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in <b>C:\Data\Public\piwigo\include\ws_functions\pwg.categories.php</b> on line <b>324</b><br /> ^ ^
Edit: This issue will be fixed on server side, so look for future updates of Piwigo.
It might be caused by albums with empty description and can be fixed with the following code in
/include/ws_functions/pwg.categories.php (322,7):
SELECT 'render_category_description', $row['comment'], 'ws_categories_getList' ) ?? '' ); // management of the album thumbnail -- starts here

Hi,
When an album is displayed, is there a way to indicate that this is a video and not an image(photo) only.
Today there is nothing displayed to allow the user to know: if you click on this, it will display only a photo , if you click on this, it will be a video.
By default we can imagine, nothing for photo (this is the default) and a tiny icon on image to indicate, this is a video behind.

Thank you so much

Hi, that's good to hear.
We have received a report about an issue with the video player (on and Android 8 device). It might be changed during the beta...

Hi,
*.mp4-videos are correctly played on my Lenovo Tablet TB-8804F (Tab4) with Android 7.1.1 but not on my Redmi Note 4 mobile with Android 7.0 NRD90M. The "Load-Circle" keeps spinning but nothing happens.

mp4 is not mp4. MPEG-4 is a hell of different codecs with proprietary patent license issues, it may or may not work depending on browser and available codec support on your system, even with the most widely used but worst case H.264/AVC codec.
