iamspartacus 40 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'm trying to setup a sync/download job from the Web app and even though I have Emby installed and working on my Android phone, when I go to Download in the Web app it tells me "It looks like you don't currently have any apps that support offline downloading."

iamspartacus 40 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 use the download function inside the android app. So is the download function inside the Web app useless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37259 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 It is for folder sync and for cloud sync. You can learn more about those on our wiki: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Sync Let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamspartacus 40 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) It is for folder sync and for cloud sync. You can learn more about those on our wiki: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Sync Let us know if this helps. Thanks. I see. Coming from Plex where you can setup sync jobs for your other apps, I got confused. Btw, when I mention Plex is not to be annoying. I'm all the way Emby now and I GREATLY appreciate the ability to have an open dialogue with the Emby dev team (something soaring lacking over at Plex). But I mention these issues because I feel like you're going to start to see (if you haven't already) a lot of Plex users starting to test out Emby and I think you'll hook a lot more of them in if you make some changes to ease that transition.

Luke 37259 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Ok we will add this, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37259 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 We actually used to have it but I took it away on account of troubleshooting over not being able to remotely wake the device from Emby Server. So currently if I put this back, it's going to bring back all of the complaints of "not working" and "I want it now". The app will need to be running on the mobile device and in the foreground and with the screen on in order for it to react right away. Otherwise the only guarantee we can make is that the download will happen sometime in the future, and that's it. To fully solve that, we need to setup cloud messaging to remotely wake the device but we don't have that right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamspartacus 40 Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 What about simply queueing the sync so the next time the app checks in it either starts automatically or brings up a pop-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37259 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Well that's what we do but that check in could be a ways away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
