Is there a good iPad app that can airplay a photo to an Apple TV in the background?

Like for example, if I load up YouTube and airplay it to my TV, I can go and do other poo poo on my iPad and it will still keep the video playing on the TV.

Reason I ask is I'm running a D&D campaign in my living room and it would be nice to throw images up on the screen when I want, then go back to using my other apps to run the game while the image sits there.

Wrong thread.

How about as a hack we remove the text from those icons instead of doing a huge recode? It might even make for a better look.

Current users will be familiar with the meaning of all the icons. New users know what bookmarks, mail and settings mean from other apps. Forums is fairly obvious, lepers isn't, but hit it once and you'd get it.

I've never been a big fan of mysterious uncaptioned icons. In general I'd prefer to keep the labels.

Casual Encountess posted:

also why does it not let me upload anything originally from the phone? i have to manually paste in any images from the camera or screenshots. if i do it from the library and it's not something from the phone it works fine but if it's a photo i took or a screenshot it just shits itself

Sorry, it's a longstanding bug. Even the most trivial edit to the photo seems to bypass the bug, if you were hoping for a semi-annoying workaround. I'll +1 the bug.

Caithness posted:

Images and other types of links still don't display correctly in the lepers colony

Yeah :( I'll +1 the bug.

Crime on a Dime posted:

How do you upload as attachments to the forum?

Not through Awful, at the moment. I'll +1 the request, maybe someday we'll get to it. I really like showing the images inline in the text box, but attachments kind of gently caress with that as your attachment always goes at the end of your post. So there's some UI to figure out there as well as the actual implementation.

Thread tags don't load in the filter by tag screen



Seen a bit of that going around :( it's on my radar, hopefully I'll have a chance to fix it up.

Crime on a Dime posted:

Pasting adds a space at the start of the pasted text [snip to avoid Forums BBcode massacre]

I'm not gonna promise anything here, but I'll certainly make a note and hopefully take a look. (Text views are not fun to play with.)

Ol Standard Retard posted:

On iPad, tabbing from the iOS podcast player or from Spotify into Awful now pauses whatever is playing, I used to be able to browse and listen simultaneously. I don't know if this is an iOS thing or a awful thing, but it sucks! Any way to check up on this?

I did some more testing: with a full reload this isn't a problem, it must like... maintain the idea that I played a different media file in Awful at some point and left the app itself as prioritized?

That's no good, sorry about that. Thanks for poking around. I'll add it to my list!

IllegallySober posted:

Also swipe-to-delete bookmark replaced everything below my current view with a black screen once the bookmark was deleted and I had to force-quit to get it back. Current released build, iPhone 6 Plus

I'm seeing (what I think is) this bug happen a bunch too. Bookmarks list half-disappears or otherwise goes real screwy after a deletion or a reload. I'll +1 the issue and hopefully one day I will fix it!

Rinaldi posted:

Having the same issue with the app on my ( ancient ) iPad. Logged in on my phone with no trouble while the iPad app keeps telling me the password is wrong. Typed the same password into Safari and logged in without issue.

I wish I could say I've figured out what's going on, but unfortunately I'm not sure. I'll toss on a +1 and maybe I'll get a brainwave.

Not sure if this is a known bug or not but on the latest beta whenever I delete a thread from my bookmarks none of the other threads can be opened. I have to force quit the app to select them again.

Also the link to the Awful thread in settings doesn’t work.

In the 3.28 beta I think I broke the mechanism that enables:

• the settings button to take you to this thread
• links to other posts
• opening a copied URL
• the various URL schemes

I’ll fix it up this weekend.

The app gets its numbers from scrapping the website, so if the website is wrong, the app will be too.

Is it just me, or do I have to do a wipe and reinstall if I want to see ignored posts? I ignore some folks, but sometimes I want to see what they're shitposting.

The behavior right now is that if I choose to look at the hidden message link it gives me a random message from somewhere else in that thread.

I'm on iOS 11.0.2, but it's been like this since iOS 10 for me..

Whoops, I'll look into the parent forum thing. The beta thread issue is because zdr had posted there. It should start working again after a couple posts go by, or I'll just close it and make a new one.

This sounds very familiar, but I can't find an issue for it, so I think I thought I fixed it. Clearly not! I'll take a look.

I remember suggesting a :v: app icon several years ago and I’m super stoked that we finally have one. Best update ever.

Never knew about icon options, I’d love if more apps could make use of this.

It's only been available since iOS 10.3 so it's still fairly new. It's sometimes used in sports apps so you can have your favourite team logo on your home screen.

It's really useful in this case as it's normally so difficult for the community to agree on just one icon to move forward with. I'm open to making more if anyone has ideas, although there aren't that many easily translatable ones left I don't think.

I'm Rockin' the :staredog: at the moment.

This is a forums issue. ZDR apparently deleted all of his posts a few days ago, screwing up every thread that he posted in because there's some kind of mismatch between the number of posts that the forums think is in a thread, and the number that are actually there.

I think threads work ok once they get enough posts to make up for the ones that were deleted, maybe, which is the main reason I'm posting this. (I got here by setting my posts per page on the website to 30, which I guess made the page count work out in such a way that I was able to see the phantom posts).
