Anybody with such error? I faced it on my phone and Android box. It was OK last few days but I noticed this error last night. No problem with iOS though, it works flawlessly with iPad. I have sent a feedback via Google Play and Astro Go FB Messenger, now they are asking for more details from me which I have supplied. However, I'm worried they will not fix for me because my phone is not one of the supported devices.

This is the error which I was referring to, I have screenvideoed it: https://streamable.com/opnc8
Basically, the app will crash if expand the On Demand videos list by clicking "See All". I think Android TV may not have issue, just probably on Android devices.

Yes, some bug.

Happens to all my 3 devices, incl androidtv.

Likely someone missed, 826 not optmized for android... ios maybe ok...?

But not a problem.. just use mouse to click n drag horizontally, u see all of them.

As expected Astro refused to fix saying mine is not supported device.

I think if scroll horizontally, it's not all shows, just partial list. hmm.gif

I was using 8.2.4 in my box and also faced issue, so I sideloaded to 8.2.6 also same thing. My phone is using 8.2.6 all this while, no luck too. It just happened recently if I can recall.

Nevertheless, for a workaround I will now view from respective channels, the channel's VOD will be displayed under each live channel.

Yes, iOS is OK. I tried using iPad and it's OK.

upon further checking... some "see all" are ok, some are not.... depends in which section and which one.

definitely some bug they need to fix.

and yes, that did not exist in 824.
on a diff note, i wonder why astro does not want to sell astrogo separately, want only own stb/decoder.

if they incr no. of HD channels, incl dd5.1, improve app navigation and package it nicely, i think can sell like netflix if priced reasonably.

a lot of people have broadband and own boxes already, don't want more boxes and wires.

Hmm. Problem exists on 8.2.4 too... Anyway, they finally gave in and opened a case for me.
