brian5678 5 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 iOS app delete download does not release memory space back to device. Problem can be seen by iOS setting->general->iPhone Storage "Emby use storage" & quit settings. Delete video media downloaded into emby. Quit Emby. Reopen settings and notice Emby still uses up same amount of storage. Delete app and reinstall it and the Emby App used data is now released.

pwhodges 1532 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 But if you download something else, does it add to the memory usage, or does it re-use the memory that you expected to be released? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37100 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Hi, can you please provide a specific example? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian5678 5 Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 The user downloads a bunch of video media into Emby app to travel, filling phone storage. Upon returning from trip needs to delete the media so the phone has memory storage to be usable again. Emby app does not release its data storage used on phone after downloads are deleted in Emby app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37100 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 @brian5678did you give it a little time or did you check immediately? The deletion actually happens on the next run of the app's background refresh process. That's something we need to look at improving to make it a little more immediate, but that's what it currently does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been waiting for over 5 days for the 4+GB of Emby app data to be released back to the device. Emby app 2.2.10 has had NO downloaded titles on to it, or pending downloads since the 8/20.

Luke 37100 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 OK then I would try clearing the data and seeing if you can get it to happen again with 2.2.11. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
