Hello new user here, I tried setting it up on multiple accounts and so far only the Mac App is making me problems
Seems that the Mac App has a bunch of issues (atleast for me), I created a table to hopefully explain it better
I tried it all with/out local peer depedency (on all devices) , with/out proxy, on Mac the current and beta, all in the same network , on Android also with Mobile Data, but all in all, the Mac App seems to be the one that don’t want to work for me, I even tried using the mobile hotspot (if its my wifi, but since the other devices work there it shouldn’t be the source why it doesn’t work)
| Function / Test | Mac & Android | Mac & iPad | Android & iPad |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contact / Converstation Start | No messages sent / received on either side ;;; accepting an invitation super flaky, need to restart the app multiple times get some result, but often only ends up with “waiting on other user to synchronize” etc | from Mac Side: “waiting on other user to synchronize” | Works perfectly, using either same the Wifi or even mobile Data on the Android |
| Group created from Mac | Not receiving any messages, but sent messages received on Android | Not receiving any messages on Mac, but sent messages received on iPad | Messages for Android & iPad received / visible on both devices |
| Group created from Android | Tried two Mac Accounts: - the first no invitation at all, the 2nd accepted invitation but again “waiting to synchronize” | (same as column before since I can send or see anything on mac here) | Works as above ^ |
| Group created from iPad | same as above ^ | same as above | |
| Typing Hint | on groups where all are present, the hints are sent / displayed everywhere | on groups where all are present, the hints are sent / displayed everywhere | on groups where all are present, the hints are sent / displayed everywhere |
| Calling Mic Only | Even though the “synchronization not working” I could call the android - voice connection worked | ||
| Calling Video | Video worked most of the time as well | No iPad Video out, but the video from the Mac worked | No iPad Video out, but the video from the Mac worked |
I searched through the forum, and gitlab issues but couldn’t find anything that looks a like that, maybe I used the wrong keywords ![]()
What I haven’t tried yet is to setup my own server for it.
I and my family will probably mostly use the mobile devices instead of Laptops so its not real deal breaker, I just still want just know if its something on my MacBook or the Desktop App maybe here at fault
