markle88 14 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Having the same issue. Strange thing though, the app can create the folders in the directory fine. But when it comes to actually moving the files into the directory it fails. 409a8532-ca66-4140-9ab0-4708c7d2d4ec.log embyserver.txt Edited November 21, 2018 by markle88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manicpanic 0 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Have the same issue on my kindle fire hd 10. For now to get around it I've downgraded to the Sept 17th version. That version allows me to select a path for my external SD card and downloading then works. https://www.apkmonk.com/app/com.mb.android/#previous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okler 1 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Hello,I have now purchased Premiere and found that the problem has still not been fixed.

Dibbes 431 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hello, I have now purchased Premiere and found that the problem has still not been fixed. It's over half a year old now and hasn't been fixed yet - please fix it urgently! Meanwhile I also have Android 9, so this didn't help either. Emby Server and Emby Android are up to date. I am extremely disappointed. Is this a customized ROM, like Lineage or something or is this a stock-rom? I found that with my S8 on stock firmware this works, on Lineage this does not work at all...

Okler 1 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Like stated in one of my first posts -> it is Lineage OS (actually version 16 (Android 9)) I just wonder why only emby has this problems - all other apps can store without any problem on my external SD.

dotcom 8 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Just got a Galaxy S5e with 400gb sd card. Let’s hope 9.0 external storage gets fixed soon. Thanks for working on it guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkz 3 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Is this a customized ROM, like Lineage or something or is this a stock-rom? I found that with my S8 on stock firmware this works, on Lineage this does not work at all... I've also noticed the same thing. I have devices on stock, Lineage 15.1 and Lineage16. The LineageOS ones aren't able to sync to SD card still (any of them 15.1 or 16), this is on a phone, tablet and a ShieldTV. What I've done is use a Magisk module to junction/symlink the internal memory folder Emby uses for offline storage to a folder on my external SD. This works fine till Luke and the Team can sort this issue out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkassassin07 423 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) After installing the app apk luke posted here. I switched my download location back to external storage and attempted to download an album. As expected it failed, but that was mainly to produce a log just to see how that looks. While doing that I noticed my sd card was no longer accessible at all. It was before I tried to download with emby, but as soon as emby tries to download something to it, the card becomes inaccessible to other apps like file browsers and media players. I had to open android settings, eject the sd card, then remount it to access it again. After all that, suddenly emby successfully downloaded everything I had queued (1 album with 26 songs in it). here is the log file from that en-devour if its helpful emby for android v3.0.50 android v8.0.0 (moto z2 play) 0c6775f1-84a6-4c83-b3e8-18bd365ba6ce.log Edited May 30, 2019 by darkassassin07 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcom 8 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I'm running andoird v9. I installed that apk linked above and no dice. I formatted it, ejected it, remounted it and only folders get created as shown in the attachment. The download icon pops up at the top of the android for about 1 second then disappears. 0 items get added to the tablet. I switched back to internal to flip to external and it started downloading to internal. After setting back to external folders get created but no downloads.

ScifiContinuum 1 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Is this still an issue? I cannot get my Sony Xperia XZ3 or my Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e to download to an external SD card. Internals works fine. I have tried the Beta version and the main release of Emby for Android. Currently running Android 9 on both devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a problem for me. Oreo and Pie. LineageOS, AICP, and OmniROM as well as stock rooted Shield TV and stock Xiaomi Mi Box S (to external USB).

neik 837 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (...) stock rooted Shield TV and stock Xiaomi Mi Box S (to external USB). (...). Wondering how you are trying sync to your Shield / Mi Box as the AndroidTV app does not have this feature (afaik)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkz 3 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Wondering how you are trying sync to your Shield / Mi Box as the AndroidTV app does not have this feature (afaik)? Both devices are travel devices for me. One goes with me to my beach house and the other for general travel. I side load the Android app on the Mibox S and I just do a Titanium restore on the ShieldTV gen 1. It works fine for me so it should work for you as well. I have a gen 2 Shield TV running LineageOS that stays in my guest room, which I recently switched over to Emby for Android as well. I overall prefer it to the AndroidTV version, as it has overall more features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
