iamspartacus 37 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 It's very confusing to users. They are trying to "sync" their items by hitting Download instead of Sync because that section is called My Downloads. It makes no sense to call it that when the Download button only let's you use the media outside of Emby. Can this be changed? Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26209 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Isn't the term download easier to understand than sync? I think it is. What we can do to resolve this is make sure there is only one way to do it. Link to post Share on other sites
iamspartacus 37 Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 I agree Download is easier to understand. It's just confusing for users when they hit download and then those files are not there when they go to My Downloads. Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26209 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 They may not have downloaded yet. Or maybe they used the web app which is unable to download to the same place as the Android app. But they are the same thing. We'll remove it from the sync menu. Link to post Share on other sites
iamspartacus 37 Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Any plans to merge Sync and Download? I still see both options in the app and my users continue to be confused by which to choose. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26209 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hi there, please try 3.0.87+. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Wild Card 2 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Don't know if it's the right place to ask, but is it possible to make music you sync to your phone, play instead of the online version. Example: I go into my online music folder, I start a online song that i also have synced to my phone. It uses the offline version, instead of streaming the online version? Plex used to have this feature, until they they broke sync Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, sync is for music running parallel with ones online version, while downloaded means... well yeah downloaded and is independent Link to post Share on other sites
iamspartacus 37 Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Hi there, please try 3.0.87+. Thanks. Thanks @@Luke. At first Sync showed up in the menu and when I clicked on it it told me to use Download To from now on. After I clicked OK, the Sync options is now gone. Thanks for doing this.
