… > Read Out does not read article

Filed this as #1317 but that is moot and gone, unsure why.

So here goes again:

Steps to Reproduce

1. in an article view tap … > Read Out
2. player UI opens at the bottom, but no audio is heard, timer shows 00:00 and play marker never starts moving.

It would be highly welcome to be able to have articles read out. Should this be working? Am I misunderstanding this feature?

And https://github.com/nextcloud/news-android/releases/tag/v.0.9.9.84 dependency updates (or Google system update?) fixed the issue. Closing.

View issues:

• language not correctly detected and german read as english (probably android issue)
• while progress is increasing as article is read, the timer values on left and right both stay at 0:00
