Seems like Twitter is updating its API to version 2: https://www.xatakamovil.com/aplicaciones/twitter-presenta-su-api-v2-para...

No, this is not possible. There is no API for third-party clients to retrieve them properly.

Is something wrong with the thread function of Piepmatz? None seem to be loading.

It's not the API, as there is no official one for threads. But version 1.6.1 should fix the issue...

Question: any idea why my Piepmatz is showing "Trends for Saint Petersburg", instead of the ones where I live and I've set my Twitter account, i.e. Helsinki, Finland?

WerkWolf's picture

WerkWolf

Most certainly there are no trends for your region. Piepmatz then automatically selects the closest region ehich is available.

Further, clicking on Piepmatz does not open the link. Any advice would be appreciated.

You need to open this link with your browser as you need to complete the Twitter login process.

Why do I have to log in through the browser even though I paid for your app last year?

You log in to Twitter so that Piepmatz can complete the OAuth login flow. Without that, you can't use the Twitter platform. That has nothing to do with WerkWolf, moreover, the app is free of charge since several months.

Looks like a general issue with the package management on your device. Try pkcon refresh as root or use https://openrepos.net/content/velox/packrefresh. Try again after executing it.

Try using Mimer (https://openrepos.net/content/llelectronics/mimer) and reset the default for the browser. Afterwards, switch off and switch on the integration via the settings of Piepmatz again.

Hi, with v 1.5, the new option to integrate Piepmatz with the Twitter feed and open tweets has unfortunately meant that all links in an email or web page, are now opened by Piepmatz.

I already had a twitter account. How can I get a PIN to setup Piepmatz on my XA2?

Simply press the sign-in button in the app, wait for the browser to launch, enter your credentials in the browser and Twitter will give you a new PIN.

Had that myself after the 3.1 upgrade, others also reported that. Seems to be a general issue with the URL handler in SFOS, not Piepmatz-specific. Try Mimer https://openrepos.net/content/llelectronics/mimer, reset everything and restart. That fixed it for everybody so far.

Is it possible to tweak the system so that piepmatz get's opened when I press on a tweet in the event screen? Otherwise a very nice and well done app!

Theoretically with a system patch and some extensions to Piepmatz itself. Volunteers are welcome for that - I need to see if and when I have time for that.

I have the option to open with webcat and microtube, maybe microtube approach will work (no idea if that is the preferred way to do this, ideally it would show only for links that contain twitter in them and microtube for youtube, but don't think it's supported yet, so will show as an option for all links)

edit: I believe this is the commit which does that: https://github.com/Michal-Szczepaniak/microtube/commit/7178ecd5970652625...

There's microtube-url.desktop file created and then in post there are a couple of xdg-mime commands to register it, not sure if piepmatz accepts urls straight away from command line though

Found the code, howevee also Zasterbanker lost tje registration and after I reentered the code to Piepmatz it asks me to accept th license at start-up. This didn't happen before. Any hint what's wrong?
