Stashy - iOS/tvOS Player App for Stash

Due to new iOS guidelines, only five tabs are allowed in the tab bar. Therefore, we combined Studios and Tags into a single tab.

Why? Because we need the extra space for Galleries.

Build 15 is the first version that includes Galleries. It’s not polished and not finished yet, but it shows the first concept.

Galleries are already synced with performers, but not yet with scenes and studios.

In the future, Scenes and Galleries will also be merged. We’ll need even more space for something exciting coming next :wink:

That is the most asinine guideline and yet so on brand that I have no words.

That’s apple, there is no more space than for 5 Icons…

Changelog Build 16:
First, the sad news:
Filters have been removed for now, but they will return significantly improved in the next version.

I have merged Scenes & Galleries into “Media” to make room for new features. Galleries are now integrated into Studios and Performers, and are also available as links within Scenes.

Massive changes to the Card Designs. (I’m actually quite proud of the new Performer Header!)

Duration labels have been added to Scenes.

Due to the massive scope of Stash’s features, it is quite challenging to fit everything in. iOS Design Guides in particular make life very difficult here. My original goal was simply to build a fast player, but I’ve gone far beyond that target.

So, we’ve come up with a few new To-Dos:

  • tvOS App: Difficult, as I don’t have a physical device for testing yet.

  • Filters: These will return as a floating navigation bar above the Tab Bar (replacing the old Scene/Gallery switch).

  • Home Page: A similar concept to Stash itself, possibly with a few extra tricks.

  • “Premium” Feature: Offline mode for Scenes (no, not for Galleries).

Do you have any more requests or ideas?

I can’t remember, but did sound for scenes ever work or am I making that up? If it did at least for me it stopped working after this update. If it hasn’t ever please ignore me.

You’re Smartphone ist on silent mode. But I changed it in the new version

BUILD 17:

Changes to audio handling: Previously, the app did not play sound through the speakers if the iPhone was set to silent. I have changed this. IF no headphones are connected, videos will now always start muted until the sound is manually turned on.

DOWNLOADS: Yes, this will become a Premium feature. However, as long as we are in TestFlight, there is no cost for unlocking it!

Just activate it! I still appreciate a “Buy me a Coffee” if you’re feeling generous. Anyone who supports me this way will also receive Lifetime Access later on.

In the Media/Scenes and Performers view, we now load the server-side saved filters.

Todo:

  • Set Video Play and Count

  • Homepage/Start page

One request: Please do not leave anonymous feedback via TestFlight. I simply cannot reply to you, even if you ask a specific question.

So far, I am testing everything on my own server, which means I can only test based on my own app preferences. If anyone can provide me with a server for app testing, I promise not to delete anything! :wink:

Thank you so much for responding to this directly! Can the ability to favorite studios and performers like we can on the site? No rush!

Yes, i want this too!

But I didn’t find the right Place for the Button

That’s awesome! You are so great.

BUILD 18 for @sparks1738

Tags, Studios, and Performers can now be favorited directly within the app. This is ideal for building your own custom filters. The placement isn’t perfect yet, but I couldn’t find a better spot for it at the moment. Other than that, just a few minor bug fixes…

I was removed from the TestFlight for some reason?

The developer removed the build you were testing. Turn on notifications and we’ll notify you when a new build is added.

It currently looks like Apple has removed all builds from the external TestFlight and is preventing me from adding any new versions. I haven’t received any information as to why this is happening yet, but I am working on it.

Unable to see it but did you have anything linked to adult content in the test flight store listing? I know Apple is getting way worse about pushing back on those.

Nope nothing. Maybe it’s the buy me a coffee link.
New build is clean… But I’m not allowed to publish it…

Which build did you add the “Premium features“ cost? Could that maybe be it? Just pulling from my personal experience releasing an app.

Two builds before, but now I removed both

If Apple won’t put it back another option to use is the AltStore which can been installed on US iPhones although it is a bit of a pain.

I’m hoping we can get stashy back. AltStore can be also installed on european iOS-Devices, but it isn’t trivial at all IMHO.

Absolutely agree! I just did it and it was a pain and has to connect to the AltStore server on your machine once every seven days for the Classic version that the US would use.
