[BUG] Peloton Auto-sync not working after Peloton app update

[marklogan17]

Android tablet (Samsung Galaxy S9). Peloton running. QZ running with floating window and peloton auto-sync enabled. Worked correctly until recent Peloton app update (where they introduced the tracking for cadence and resistance in the app). Since that update QZ seems to have started as soon as you hit 'Yes' on the prompt. I end up needing to use the Peloton offset to get somewhere close to -60s to get the class in sync.

mmm ok let's start saying that peloton didn't change the API. They're starting with

   "instructor_cues":[
      {
         "cadence_range":{
            "lower":80,
            "upper":100
         },
         "offsets":{
            "end":65,
            **"start":60**
         },
         "resistance_range":{
            "lower":25,
            "upper":40
         }

as usual

i'm checking if maybe it's the autosync the issue

[cagnulein]

@marklogan17 it seems that the auto sync is not working anymore that's the issue. I see over and over the same frame in the OCR, like peloton blocks QZ from getting their frame (video protection).

If you press yes on the popup when the timer is 0:00 after the intro i guess it should be fine right?

Yup, I think that would work just like it does when auto-sync is off. I wonder if I can bypass the video protection...

[cagnulein]

it's the same issue on google tv #1441
i guess they added on all the platform now, so I guess it's end of the game for auto sync with OCR. Maybe I have to investigate other ways like trying to get the elapsed time from the API (way better in case)

[marklogan17]

Oh well, I can hit start at the right time :)

[cagnulein]

ehehe but i guess they are hiding the elapsed somewhere... Il giorno ven 3 nov 2023 alle 15:56 marklogan17 ***@***.***> ha scritto:

@marklogan17 I had an idea: when you have time could you please provide me a qz debug log where

1. Start a peloton workout
2. Do it , for example , 5 minutes and then pause it from peloton app
3. Wait 2 minutes and resume it

If I can get this event I can do auto sync without the ocr

[marklogan17]

Turned off auto sync.

• Started QZ (with floating window), started Peloton, picked class, started class.
• Waited until intro was done and hit 'yes' on floating window.
• Road for 5 minutes
• Hit pause on peloton
• Waited a bit over 2 minutes (kept riding)
• Hit 'play' on peloton
• Rode for approx 2 minutes
• BONUS:
• Hit 'forward 30 seconds' on Peloton
• Rode for 30 seconds or so
• Hit 'back 30 seconds' on Peloton
• Rode for 30 seconds or so
• Ended class
• Exited QZ

thanks i will check it today, just as a reminder for me, if i can't find anything useful here we can try to sniff with a chrome browser using peloton on a web browser if it shows the elapsed timer Il giorno ven 3 nov 2023 alle 22:01 marklogan17 ***@***.***> ha scritto:

thanks @marklogan17 for the test, unfortunately there is no difference along the whole workout until you finished it :(

So, if you want and you're available we can try to collect some information from the developer view on chrome or any other browser. I would like to do myself but as you know I can't access to a peloton account from Italy and for other reasons...

So the test would be (it has sense only if you can see the elapsed timer on the web interface of peloton):

1. open qz as usual
2. start peloton from your web browser
3. open the developer view (F12 usually)
4. do the same workout with the same pause that you did last time
5. share the chrome report

you can export also the HAR file in chrome with all the details I guess.
I would like to check if peloton app uses also other API endpoint to collect other information

Thanks as usual!

[marklogan17]

Did the same class in the browser.
-Ran for 5 minutes, pause

• Waited for 2 minutes, play
• Waited for two minutes, scrolled 'back' in time 30 seconds or so (could have been more)
• Waited for a while - say a minute, scrolled forward in time so that I was well past where I was originally
• waited for a minute, paused, ended workout

@marklogan17 great news!

In the "packets" (https://api.onepeloton.com/stats/workout/a811af1630c148e5bc470fe8d68f51e6/packets) endpoint i can see the real seconds (i can see you jumping back and forth!).

The only issue is that it seems a writing endpoint so we have to understand if we can also read them. Bonus issue: it seems that the web app is writing it only every 10 seconds)

So that's my plan: I will build a new PC version of qz trying to read that endpoint. I hope will have some results from it

I will share here the link for the PC version.

When you will have it, you can just enable the fake bike setting, adding your peloton credentials and do a fake workout of 1-2 minutes with the debug log enabled

Thanks in advance!

[cagnulein]

also @marklogan17 I guess we can check the API with the same chrome procedure from this website https://support.onepeloton.com/hc/en-us/articles/13924166574356-Downloading-Your-Workout-History-and-Data (trying to get a workout)

@marklogan17 windows build https://github.com/cagnulein/qdomyos-zwift/suites/17933945182/artifacts/1030659122

Trouble connecting to Peloton. Debug log. I'm sure the username and password was right - tried username, email, etc. Could have been airport wifi. Could have been vpn or firewall on the laptop we were using. Will find another system to try it on later.

that's the error

QSslSocket::connectToHostEncrypted: TLS initialization failed

it could be something on the windows build. I'm checking it

@marklogan17 peloton auth fixed https://github.com/cagnulein/qdomyos-zwift/suites/18009692409/artifacts/1036335623

Let me know! Sorry for the delay, crazy days as usual!

[marklogan17]

I'll see if we can get it tested today!

[marklogan17]

Ran it. Success connecting to Peloton (green checkmark). Ran it, ran class on separate device. Didn't get prompt on QZ to follow class. Tried it with auto sync enabled the second time because, well, why not :)

ok that's the issue

the API that I added that I hoped it was read/write it seems to be read only.
I will investigate if I will find an API in the "stats/workout" are that could contain all the information that we need.
I will keep you updated
Thanks for the test!

also @marklogan17 I guess we can check the API with the same chrome procedure from this website https://support.onepeloton.com/hc/en-us/articles/13924166574356-Downloading-Your-Workout-History-and-Data (trying to get a workout)

when you have time could you please also check this?

log checked, unfortunately there is only the https://api.onepeloton.com/api/user/xxxxx/workouts?joins=ride&limit=10&page=0 api used...

Is there any other webpage on the peloton website that you think that could contains useful data?

Otherwise my last idea for this (and I know for sure that will work) is to embeed the website of peloton inside QZ and so i can inject a javascript to collect the elapsed time without using the OCR.

What do you think?

Nothing I can think of. Obviously there has to be some control from the web to the servers and the app to the servers to keep everything in sync. Potentially could do wireshark to sniff the app to see if its doing anything different but you would think they would have the same mechanism for web and app versions.

Yes I guess they have the same behaviour...what do you think about the embedded version of peloton in the qz app?

@marklogan17 ok almost done (at least for html parsing)

How to Use:

0. unzip the bookmarklet.zip
1. Right-click on your bookmarks bar in your web browser and choose to add a new bookmark.
2. Name it as you like, for example, "Find Time to Complete".
3. In the URL or location field, paste the entire code provided in the js file.
4. Save the bookmark.
5. When you are on a peloton workout with the elasped timer, just click on it. If an element with data-test-id="time-to-complete" is found, it will display its text content in an alert box; otherwise, it will alert you that the element is not found.

bookmarlet.zip

Let me know, I will be ready tomorrow or in the day after tomorrow with a test version in qz ;)

[cagnulein]

ok that's my idea to try to understand this: I will create a simple android app directly in java to understand if the standard webview has also this limitation. I will let you know the result!

[cagnulein]

ok tried, it works fine. so there is something to setup in the android webview under the qt or I will try to use a standard component directly on QZ. I will keep you posted

[cagnulein]

ok, update. The error is about stryde unrecognized feature payment stryde
This will not trigger peloton to show the login bar unfortunately.

So I already thought about a second solution: using a bookmarklet that can send data via udp like the QZ AI companion app already did! It should also be easier. I will let you know!

[cagnulein]

ok due to security browser reason i need to add a https server in the middle that receives the info from the browser and it sends to qz

i don't know how many out there will run peloton on browser for auto sync.

Its a lot of work when the alternative is just hitting 'yes' at the right time and everything works fine...

[cagnulein]

lol yes, anyway this it will also bring the floating window on ios for example. It will be nice in the future. I will keep you updated if something new will pop up in my mind.
