Hello 3Speak & Hive Community members,
With this post, I would like to share that offline podcast player is now ready.
In my previous post, I explained that I was stuck & I was not able to make further progress. All the obstacles are resolved & we've download & offline feature ready.
What was the issue?
- There were many issues in implementation for supporting offline player.
- Not being able to save data properly, not being able to locate file, not being able to load file locally - these are issues which I faced.
- Let's talk about each of them one by one, How I got it over & achieved download + Offline play feature.
Fixing Download issues
Issue #1: Not being able to find where to download data
- As discussed in our last post, we're using
flutter_downloaderplugin. It is popular & widely used. - On Android, App was able to download data but for iOS it simply failed.
- So, I started digging into documentation & their sample code.
- On their github sample code repository, I found following snippet which resolved the issue for download-directory-location. On iOS, it's called
Documentsdirectory.
- Yep. This is how we fixed it on iOS.
And fixed other issues.
- Yes, I fixed other issues to downloading, saving locally, loading from local space etc.
- And I am not going to add more boring content by adding more technical details.
- Instead, let's talk about how to use download & offline player.
Using Offline Player
Hit that download button.
Go to a podcast episode you like & hit the download button.
Stop it if you wish to.
- Once you start downloading, keep an eye on the loading progress
- You can stop it if you wish to by hitting the stop button as indicated below.

Wao! This is a lovely one, I love the improvement. Keep up the good work.
Gret work, Now data usage can be reduced...
I was away from peakD Since a very long time and I am very happy to see the work you did with the 3S app. I am sure that is more rewarding than the other platform...
Good work!
Gene from DTube here 👋
I am sorry, I am very bad at Hive. I saw you sent me a message but I just read it now. Are you still have upload problem on Dtube? Anyways the 12 years old spammer still spamm on every videos. Not on dtube.app but on dtube.luminade.fun. He will get a DMCA very soon.
Yeah man, that guy looks absolutely insane. Like unhinged nuts!
Yeah I can claim & vote but can’t upload. I use browser not an app. Prefer to not download an app to do so but is that only way?
Hey whatcha think the future of DTube is? It’s good finally catching u here so figured I’d ask. Good to catch u here, I’ll check the stone replies more often too 👍
Great!
The future depend on us. Because Heim is not responding at all, we had to restart an entire new network. Flush the entire leaders list because when they are no more interested they leave with a staled node. We had more stalled node than working node. This is why Dtube was down for a month.
We are trying at least to get back the good people (like you). As soon as the 12 years old spammer is gone, I think the community will be less shy to post(including me because, I think he spend all these days night to watch me if I am not posting something). The worst he is claiming is right to freedom of speech... He is so abusing of it!
Any ways, Like I said, the future is depend of us. A new bridge is under construction too.
More activities and more the community is solid, more chance we have to have new devs.
Cheers!
It’s actually quite insane. Like beyond spammer or troll. It’s creepy how crazy that guys behavior is. I’d guess he has some mental illness. Just strange all around.
I’ll definitely start checking over there regularly again. I don’t know if the token has a bright future or not but I like the community 👍 cheers friend!
A bridge is under testing
