This is definitely a caching issue. That menu is updated only as needed, but does not check for external changes. I’m going to update that so it is not cached and rechecks its state when opened.

I’m able to reproduce the issue with this video. I’ll look into it. It seems to only affect HLS streams with variable resolution. So it is likely not updating the zoom properly since the aspect ratio doesn’t change, but the size does.

Whoops, that’s not supposed to happen. It’s a super simple fix, I’ll have this patched really quick.

Sorry I’ve been absent the last week, I’ve been busy and haven’t had much time to work on Arctic. I appreciate all the feedback and reports!

Ahh, more than likely it tried to generate a link preview for a localhost link. I’ll patch this so localhost links are not fetched.

Good to know, I see exactly what is causing this issue. I’ll have this patched in the next update. Thanks for letting me know!

This is something I haven’t seen before. I’m curious if this may have been an issue with the API considering your account was so new.

In case this is not an issue with the api, would you mind opening the profile tab, and then going to Settings -> About -> Arctic Logs. There should be an entry that shows the raw api request including the username sent with the request. It’s possible that the username is malformed in some way which would cause this issue.

The log entry I am looking for should look something like this:
