same as problem.

[pajikos]

the same problem for me

[birlorg]

I'm very new, but this is what made it work for me:

From your desktop, make sure you do the rebuild step, and verify steps, and run the checks and then push all the fix buttons. Once the desktop seems happy and fabulous after restarts, then go back to iOS and delete the config(reset), then set it up again. Use the SETUP URI function to make life easier.

It takes a little bit of fiddling, but once it works, it seems stable(so far).

[EfrainCabral]

Same problem on iOS. The option to use a copied URI brings you to the file menu, and never let you to paste the uri. After setting up (minio) manually and check the connection is successful but it never Fetch from remote nor rebuild from the device.
The buttons to fetch and rebuild does not works.
I tried to configure first on the laptop and it works ok. But on the iPhone it is not working.
Just to discard a problem of access to the bucket, the option to lock on remote is able to add the flag file on the bucket ( this is just to confirm that the plugin can read and write on the bucket) .

[vrtmrz]

Thank you for opening the issue!
If you are using CouchDB and migrated from the old versions, some chunks could be missing due to the bug.
Please run Resend chunks from every device, or Rebuild everything from the most reliable device. Sorry for your inconvenience.

@EfrainCabral
The problem while using bucket is a possibly caused by the different reason. If you have not configured CORS on the bucket, please try enabling Use custom handler on especially mobile device.

[EfrainCabral]

Thanks for your response. In my case Im using Minio. I have done a successful bucket delete from the plugin, then tried a rebuild with no results. It's like the Rebuild button does nothing. The same happens with the Fetch button. The log does not show any activity when trying to rebuild.
Another abnormal behavior is the status icons disappears intermittently from the editor when I switch from one page to another one.
The curious with the same Minio server it worked before the release. Thanks for your help.

[EfrainCabral]

Hi @vrtmrz I finally got it working. The steps I did were:

1. Make a backup of the vault and save it aside.
2. Delete the Obsidian vault on iOS.
3. Delete the vault on Windows.
4. From Windows delete all the content of the bucket(Minio) from the plugin.
5. Create two or three test files from scratch, and do a Rebuild from the plugin on Windows.
6. Activate the advanced options in Windows and iOS plugin to set the behavior when there are conflicts (keep the newest file).
7. Deactivate the plugin on iOS. Restart Obsidian and activate the plugin again. Then it asked me to do a Fetch on iOS which I confirmed.
8. After doing some successful bi-directional tests, I then loaded backedup vault content on Windows (but not on iOS).
9. Then from iOS i got to replicate the content correctly, fetching all the vault automatically.(not manual fetch)

For now it is working well. Conclusion: something happens when you try to configure on iOS as the first device, something does not work correctly. But if you start it from Windows or another OS it should work fine.
On the other hand it is still impossible to copy a setup URI on iOS, the plugin does not open the text box to copy the URI, the setup has to be done manually.

I hope these comments can help anyone who has a similar problem.

On the other hand it is still impossible to copy a setup URI on iOS, the plugin does not open the text box to copy the URI, the setup has to be done manually.

I can't remember where I got my setup URI, but I would guess I got it from my desktop. I was able to use the URI on iOS without issue though. I long-held to get the copy/paste menu and then pasted the URI out of my password manager.

I'm not using minio. I'm using couchdb. Perhaps that is part of the difference, though I don't know why the setup URI stuff would care as far as copy/paste goes.

Resend chunks

Hoư to run that command "Resend chunks"? Please, show for me. Thanks!

[Oneel77]

@vrtmrz Hi, Rebuild everything command does not solved my sync issue with iOS.

[aliefe04]

Up! Issue still persist I started to lose my files

[vrtmrz]

Sorry for being away for so long!

I am so sorry that I have not completely resolved your two, @Oneel77 and @aliefe04 .

@Oneel77, There have been several upgrades since the last situation, but the latest one makes the same situation?
Also, is the error message the same .are not valid.(p1) ? If so, could you try disabling Fetch chunks on demand and Rebuild again?
