Download continues on Mobile Data

[patrick1905 0]

Hello together,

Thanks for the update for emby and the improved download management.

Currently it looks like there is a bug. If a download session starts in background on WiFi it continues on Mobile and does not stop as the Android Download Manager did. This cost me 1,2GB on mobile data today and I had to force stop the app to end the download.

Does anyone else noticed this and can it be fixed? This is quite a huge issue for such media.

thanks,

Patrick

Just a thought - you may just want to limit the Emby application to only use wifi, if you have a limited data plan?

as an additional info..

 

having the app closed and not in wifi, adding something to sync jobs on the server remotely, opening the app (always without wifi).. the download starts..

 

the app is setted to download only in wifi..

I don't know what exactly fixed it but after testing it yesterday it seems to be fixed.

 

Latest beta on server (4.3.0.14) and Android (3.0.82)
