Crestj 67 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Did I miss something or am I correct in thinking the desktop version of ET supports offline syncing? Also, we seem to be able to setup sync's from the browser for a separate ET client, is that also a new (returning) feature? TBH I find the playback support and usability in the desktop ET miles ahead of the App version so if the desktop version has these features now it would be great!

Luke 37056 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 No, it's for the store app only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crestj 67 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 So if I select a movie and choose to sync it to the pc with desktop ET installed and the sync job is created, does it just do nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37056 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 You must have the store app installed on that pc as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crestj 67 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 I used to but uninstalled it, I assume Emby server still thinks it's there. No worries, got my hopes up then [emoji3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifespeed 42 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 So the sync button in ET is just a decoy? Or ET can sync if you install the UWP app? Can one then play offline content using ET, or must one exclusively use UWP app for offline content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifespeed 42 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Click it to see what the available sync targets are. I saw it offered to sync to android phones and Windows. I tried to sync to Windows, wanting an offline copy on a laptop. Maybe I am confusing "sync" with "download"? When I used "download" menu option ET immediately copied the movie to the local downloads directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37056 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 So that means you're syncing to the store app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I haven't tested this but I think what happens is you can use the store app to download, and then you can sync desktop to the store app. Is that right, Luke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37056 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 You must have installed it at some point and then uninstalled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifespeed 42 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I have never installed Emby from the windows store, I don't even log in to windows using a Microsoft ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Oh I get it. It's simply setting up a sync job to a different device other than the one you're on. That's a little confusing. In the list of devices, I have windows listed 3 times. How would I differentiate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37056 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 you must have uninstalled and reinstalled the app a few times. you can simply delete the older device entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
