Can’t connect

Firstly, thanks for the overall system, I was looking for photo sharing software that lets me control permissions and this is perfect!

I can’t get the iPad app to connect. The iPad itself will connect using any browser and my iPhone will connect using either the iPhone app or a browser. Windows can also connect.

I am using http as I only share via a VPN.

B&W images render blurry on the Ipad

Just this week there has been a change where the Pwigo IOS app renders black and white images blurry. Colour images don’t seem to be affected. If I use the mobile browser on the website running Piwigo, the pictures render just fine. The same Piwigo app on my IPhone also renders b&w images blurry.

Update beta fix tested, looks good! 5 stars
