revengineer 121 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I am having trouble locating downloaded media files on my android phone. I updated the app yesterday with the latest beta and then selected download of a test movie. I saw the server transcoding and the movie shows under "Downloads" in the emby app on my android phone. I have tried searching for the movie file in my file manager, but i cannot locate it. There is an "emby" folder on my phone that contains a "sync" directory, and within this directory there is a folder with the server name and inside is a "Video" folder: /sdcard/emby/sync/SERVER/Videos. This directory however is empty. Any hint as to where I might locate the movie file is appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36878 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Are you sure the download has completed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution revengineer 121 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Solution Share Posted January 18, 2017 ok found the problem. After searching the forum, I found that the download location can be selected in the settings. Mine was blank and that resulted in the movie not being downloaded. After setting the path, the movie downloaded without problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on travel last week and tried to use the feature initially without luck. I suspect it was the poor hotel wifi because the movie transcoded, but the download never finished. Upon return yesterday, I updated the app and tried on my local network without issues. i have not done extensive testing put the movie played just fine without network connection. Looking forward to using this long-desired feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edencorbin 4 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Just had the same issue and found this thread. Why not default download to the download folder on Android? That seems reasonable to me. Just went Premium, Emby is fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36878 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I suppose that is something to consider, although you can always customize it to be that way. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleWizard 28 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Hi. In latest emby android app I have the option to choose as download destination: internal, external usb (devicename1), external usb (device name2), external (download). Obviously I have 2 usb port with 2 usb device (it's nvidia shield with the sideloaded emby app, not the android tv version which has much less functionalities). When I select external (download) which of the usb device does it use? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleWizard 28 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I don't fond a way to set english as the app language, so I have to translate from italian menu. Under app options, downloads, download path I have: - internal storage - external storage (LWZ128GB) - external storage (LWZ64GB) - external storage (Downloads) I was expecting to have 2 external storage downloads for both the usb memories. Anyway when I tried external storage download I found that it saves file in internal memory under download folder. So this is maybe why I can't choose between the usb memories. I have an Nvidia shield pro latest revision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
