jamvids 37 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hi, Just playing with the latest update.Everything is looking good. I thought I would try the sync function out properly. Is it working to external SD properly? I have cued up a few vids and a bit of music, it has converted okay and is ready to transfer. I ran the sync process from schedule tasks and it runs for 0 seconds. I have run it before but to the default directory (on another device) with success. Also, 1 step from my personal emby perfection, where in the pecking order of things to come would a sync favorite songs and shuffle favorite songs function be?

CBers 6771 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Did you leave the app open on your device ?? It needs to be open to receive the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamvids 37 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 yeah, it's open. I thought I read somewhere that it had to have a particular path name to avoid permissions. I noticed you can't create a folder through the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamvids 37 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Wait, it says transferring now. Let's see how it goes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6771 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I noticed you can't create a folder through the app. That's a good point. I'm sure it was there in a previous version ?!?! I wonder where it writes it to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamvids 37 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 The option is there, but is says could not create folder. I have created a folder using es, and used that directory but nothing in there as yet. I created a sync job to my other device and that has worked okay.

jamvids 37 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Oh, the other device is an old Sony Xperia Z with no external storage added, that has worked okay. The device with external storage is a Z2 if that is any help. Anything else needed just let us know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6771 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I was able to create the folder. Forgot it was under the Sync settings, rather than in the Sync dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 the app does not have to be open to sync. also, the directory picker can only create folders in locations the app is allowed to write to. this will vary per device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamvids 37 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Ahh right, is there a workaround for sony? I changed it back to internal and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamvids 37 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Okay, so it looks like frustration aplenty here then, maybe it's a Sony thing, have people had any luck using sync to SD using other devices? I may just go and buy a cheap micro SD for my galaxy tab and play around with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution hoxtonia 46 Posted October 7, 2015 Solution Share Posted October 7, 2015 I am having no problems syncing to the sd card of my note 4 - it will allow syncing to only certain folders though - I created a folder within com.mb.android using the path below and all works perfectly /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.mb.android/Emby Sync Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphy 3 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'm having the same issue on my Lenovo tab2. I can't create a folder in the root of SD with Emby but I can with ES file explorer. Why would the app not have permission to write to SD? Also maybe on the first sync it would be good to prompt where to save it, save me sat there waiting like a dumbass for it do something... Will have a go in the folder mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphy 3 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) OK, I still don't understand your app doesn't have the correct permissions when other apps do? Also, there is no progress meter nor a notification to say its completed/failed. Seems it's written ok to com.MB.android directory but stopped at 4gb, the fat32 limit. I've got the profile set to high but still surely a 4gb limit would be in place for android! I can see you guys need to work on sync a bit more. Great feature but its def not user friendly at the moment. Edit: So I now see the green bars on the icons are progress bars. Although I'm not sure they move when transferring? A notification would be nice too though. Also noticed if the download gets stuck because of size changing profile to a lower one won't force the server to transcode again, it just keeps trying to transfer the originally selected profile transcode.
