jnheinz 17 Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Hi, I get this message when attempting to click Sync on either my Emby for Android Mobile device or from a web browser on a PC. Here is the message & the list of devices. Is this feature not yet implemented or does it have a pre-requisite I am missing?
Luke 40077 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 You have to do it from inside the android app, and not from any other app.

Luke 40077 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 If it happens in the app then make sure you are running the latest version of Emby Server and the android app.
jnheinz 17 Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 @@Luke Emby Server 3.2.30 for Linux & I just updated Emby for Android Mobile & restarted the app. If I use the Download button, it will send it. I just did it for two episodes & it worked well. If I use Sync, I get the same result on the Android device. I guess I'm not sure what the difference is between Download & Sync? Seems to me that Sync should be able to select any compatible device whether or not you are on it or it is online? Maybe I'm just dreaming.
Luke 40077 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Use download, not sync. Sync is for the folder sync/cloud sync features.

I guess I was confused as to the purpose of the Sync function. I guess I visioned that I could target the device of my choice from the web interface of Emby Server to effectively stage media on it without interacting with the device.
Luke 40077 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 That was our original goal as well, but when you initiate from another device, we can't guarantee it will start immediately. We can't make any promises about when the device will start it, only that will happen sometime in the future. After being hammered with reports of "not working", and "I want it now", we were forced to rethink it. 1
