Compie 0 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 On an Android device I can view & stream anything + the possibility to "download" and selected image (= opening the original photo from the server). But on an IOS client (ipad, iphone,...) I can view & stream but I can't download anything? The download button is visible (the arrow button) but It does nothing... Any ideas or a workaround for this? On IOS it is also not possible to Chromecast...
Luke 38880 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 What version of iOS? You need iOS 11+. And Chromecast is fully supported. Works just fine in my testing. Thanks.
Compie 0 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Posted January 26, 2019 Hi, the latest IOS is active. Perhaps also important is that I use the browser interface (ip-address:8096)... On Android both interfaces work fine (app and browser) ; on IOS the app won't let me view any movie or images, that's the reason why I used the browser interface. Using the browser I can view the images and videos now but downloading images is disabled...
Luke 38880 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 What do you mean iOS app won't let you view images or movies? What version of iOS?
Compie 0 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Posted January 27, 2019 Hi Luke, My IOS devices all have version 12+. Here included a screenshots from my iPad (version 12.1.1) : And here a screenshot from an Android device :
samuelqwe 316 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) If you are using Emby in your browser, this seems to be a limitation of the Safari browser on iOS devices. Unfortunately, it does not allow downloading files like Android. EDIT: Workaround would be to allow iOS clients to open the image in a new tab, and that way we can long press/3D touch to save Edited January 29, 2019 by samuelqwe
Luke 38880 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 We'll hide the button to prevent any confusion. Thanks.
Compie 0 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 Hiding the button is indeed a solution but I don't understand why it is not possible to download an image in IOS? The thing is it is not really a "download to the internal IOS photo album" but just a simple hyperlink to the original image on the server. Once we click it then it is up to IOS what to do with that image... ?
Luke 38880 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Well yes that's exactly what we are trying to do.
Compie 0 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Posted January 29, 2019 Okay Luke, keep up the good work! Emby = far better than Plex!
