revengineer 125 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Just a quick report on issues with download for offline viewing. When offline mode was introduced a few weeks ago, I reported problems with downloading content for offline viewing away from home. It seemed to work when when connected to my home network so I thought it was the mediocre hotel internet. These days I am again on travel and have exactly the same issues. The transcoding seems to work fine, and the transfer start after completion of transcoding. However, the download never finishes. I also find that the download notification keeps flashing constantly when I pull down the android notifications window, which is rather annoying. I also tried downloading the original without transcoding. This download did not complete either. On the other hand, I have been streaming TV from emby for the past hour without interruption, so the connection works and the internet is decent. I conclude that downloading content from emby to android devices is buggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Can you please provide an android app log? You can learn how to do that here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/15638-how-to-report-an-android-problem/ Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revengineer 125 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) Luke, I have trouble finding the logs. I found a folder /data/data/com.mb.android/files but there is no logs folder inside. Do I need to enable logging? I noticed that the synced content path in offline sync settings is empty again, but on attempt to set it the app crashes every time. This is on the latest beta. not sure how to proceed.

zeyoner 0 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I too have experienced this issue. But I have also had this issue when I used Plex. So I think neither side has really figured it out. It's spotty which sucks because this is one of the features I really want to use. Have there been any updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revengineer 125 Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 I would liked to provide input but cannot locate the logs. I have asked for help with respect to this but not received an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I would liked to provide input but cannot locate the logs. I have asked for help with respect to this but not received an answer. It would be in your device's pre-defined external storage folder for apps (not the same as SD card). It might be a good idea to display this in the app so that you can easily locate it, because it will vary per device and that's probably what's going on here.

I did find the com.mb.android folder, but there is no logs folder anywhere inside this. Displaying this in the app would help indeed so I can say for sure whether or not the folder exists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37071 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 What device and android version? This isn't a custom ROM by chance is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revengineer 125 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 I also notice that on the settings screen, the playback and offline sync are just as plain green circles without an icon inside. Not sure whether this is a bug or work to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revengineer 125 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 This is a Moto X (2nd gen) with Android 4.4.4. I am running a rooted stock rom. It's an older device but still works well and I used to be able to select the sync folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guynamedbilly 13 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I am also getting this on my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 on android 4.4.2 on the factory rom, not rooted. I tried to find the error message, but it does not generate an error log file. The folder is empty. Anytime I try to set the offline path, it crashes immediately. I did report it from that little window that pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revengineer 125 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Glad to hear there is someone else with the same issue. Maybe it is Android 4.4.x issue. I would like to help with the issue in the OP. I am going on travel again next week, and crappy wifi seems to be common to US hotels so I am sure I won't be disappointed. However, I will need the logs to work. For this, the first step is for the app to display where the logs are stored. I am pretty sure no logs are generated on my device but I cannot say for sure until the emby app tells me where they are supposed to be. If we fix the logging, I can run some tests next week.

revengineer 125 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 @Luke: i updated the Android app to v2.9.51 and it fixed both the crash with setting the path and creation of the log file. This means that I will be able to supply log files for instances where the sync over internet fail. THANK YOU!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
