Downloading to an old Ipad mini v1


701h

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

My kids have a pair of old Ipad minis, V1 (ios 9.3.5). We are going on a trip and I want to download some movies to their ipads. I'm gathering that the old ipads dont support the "download" option, well, I cant see the option to download when I click on a movie.

 

Can you give me some ideas to be able to copy some movies onto these old ipads?

 

thanks

 

Rich.

I have an ipad mini v1 too, I didn't see any download option in emby either.  I checked the Plex app and it does have a download option, so that may be a route.  You may have to pay a little to do it though...

hmm, thats a bit rubbish, I dont expect that support for older devices will be included. I've already stumped up for a lifetime membership with Emby, so dont really want to get Plex as well. Are there any other options that anyone can think of? At this point I might have to convert all the movies to MP$ and import them into itunes so I can sync them across.

NPlayer is to me the best video player on ios. No need to convert anything, just drag and drop, you can even copy through the network.

MrMC is a solid choice too as it is a fork of Kodi and even has an integrated emby client

This may not always work but I think if you join the beta, it works but you run the risk of everything not working cause you are on the beta.

I'm sorry, but at this point I don't see it happening given the low market share of iOS 9. I think last I checked iOS 9 and 10 combined are only at like 5 percent. With a small team we have to focus our energy on what will benefit the largest number of people. Thanks.

Fair enough, thanks for the reply. I'll do the old fashion way and convert with Emby Theatre and copy across.

I would try the emby iOS beta. I do that with an iPad 2 and it works just fine.
