Blazejos 4 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hi Team, In my Emby iOS app I have several downloaded movies and photos for offline use, can I move it to my phone photos and videos library? Perhaps via Files app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37066 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Hi, they get stored in the app's private data folder. I'm not aware of a way to move the files out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not possible for Emby to store the files in the app’s documents directory, and then expose that directory in the iOS Files app? This is exactly what Infuse does and it works very well.

I'm all in favor of keeping access to server private, yet sharing own content via other means shouldn't be so difficult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_ 22 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) I know this is an old thread, but I will +1 this - looks like it's incredibly simple to implement as well, assuming the app followed standard development standards... In terms of the 'why' - this would allow playback of offline content in third party players - eg. you could use VLC to cast a locally downloaded file to chromecast, which Emby cannot do itself.
