hstamas 179 Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Download transferred reliably. No indicator that it was in progress or finished but I did transfer lightning fast. I am now able to return to the main download menu without the app hanging/spinning as well! 1
Natelanxon 27 Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Unfortunately that’s not the case for me on cellular connections. On Wi-Fi there’s no problem. Still on 5G Emby sits on read to transfer. I’m on the latest iOS 16.3 and the latest Emby 2.2.6.

Just to make sure you know: You are aware there is a checkbox in settings in the Emby iOS app that prevents downloads when on 4G/5G, right?
Natelanxon 27 Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Of course. First thing I checked. It’s always set to allow 5G. I have the same setting checked in iOS settings too to allow cellular use.

Zephyer 4 Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Hi there, running on various iOS devices (running iOS 16.5.1) and Emby Prem. (Version 4.7.13.0) on docker with latest iOS app from Emby I've noticed something. While I have the same "ready for transfer" I've seen some things I need to share; Only 1 device can download/transfer connect at a time, Although the status "ready for transfer" is visible, I can see on my network (unify) that the iPad is downloading at a high speed (200mbps). After that download, the next device will start it's download as it was waiting. With this, it looks like the app(s) on various mobile OS needs another status as it's waiting on the server when it's done uploading towards a device that was already busy and thus in queue. 1
Zephyer 4 Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Apparently nothing to edit previous post, so... Another status for the mobile app is 'ready to transfer' is stuck, it needs to be changed to downloading as I am seeying this being done through my network... 1
Natelanxon 27 Posted August 17, 2023 Posted August 17, 2023 Resurrecting this thread because it is still an issue for me. I can’t understand why pressing download can’t immediately start that download. I don’t know any other media apps that have to wait for a background process to kick in before a download can begin. Is there any update on if this system can be updated? As a case in point I recently joined a new gym and discovered there was no Wi-Fi and the cellular signal can’t reach (it’s underground). I stepped outside to download a couple of episodes but couldn’t stand around waiting for the transfer to start. In the end I redownloaded Infuse, which can connect to my Emby server, and downloaded it there. I don’t think this should be necessary. I don’t like complaining so let me also say thank you to the team for the continually amazing work on the Emby product. Sure I speak for many that appreciate the feature updates and support.
darkshifty 1 Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) This issue sadly still persists, I also had two devices registered so I removed them both, removed the tasks, registered my device, reinitiated the download but the famous age old issue "Ready To Download" persists. Like others said, just give us one way buttons that initiate conversion and another that can initiate a download once conversion is done. It's easy to maintain and reduces all these variable bugs.

HI, just opening up the download settings screen is one way to start the background process immediately.

darkshifty 1 Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) So I kept seeing these logs too, 2023-09-05 15:20:56.059 Info App: Bitrate exceeds DirectPlay limit: media bitrate: 3966208, max bitrate: 1500000 2023-09-05 15:20:56.059 Info App: Bitrate exceeds DirectStream limit: media bitrate: 3966208, max bitrate: 1500000 2023-09-05 15:20:56.059 Info App: Bitrate exceeds DirectPlay limit: media bitrate: 3966208, max bitrate: 1500000 2023-09-05 15:20:56.059 Info App: Bitrate exceeds DirectStream limit: media bitrate: 3966208, max bitrate: 1500000 2023-09-05 15:20:56.059 Info App: Bitrate exceeds DirectPlay limit: media bitrate: 3966208, max bitrate: 1500000 2023-09-05 15:20:56.059 Info App: Bitrate exceeds DirectStream limit: media bitrate: 3966208, max bitrate: 1500000 I didn't think much of it as their info notifications. I also tried changing the max bitrate within the network tab, but it wouldn't go above 100k, and it didn't seem to help, as the info notification just changed to a higher media bitrate number. Now within the app I saw the convert option per video and ran a few with the following options: (ofcourse all old download jobs have been removed) I ran the download after the completion of the conversion and it downloaded the videos within no time. So in conclusion downloading with preset conversion fails downloading original files fails converting the failed downloads manually from the destination device followed by downloading works.

I would suggest trying with the latest update to the app. Thanks.
EmbyOak 23 Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 I just experienced this issue today with a friend's iPad. It seems when two separate iPads are using the same account (husband and wife), one of them becomes the prime (I believe this is because the content was already downloaded to their iPad) and so the secondary one sees "waiting to download" but nothing downloads. I created another account for the "secondary" user and sure enough I can now download the content without issues.
jeremyrent 1 Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 October 2023. Issue still exist on iPad...
Natelanxon 27 Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Same on iPhone too. I think the whole downloading system needs a do-over but might not be a priority. Edited October 21, 2023 by Natelanxon
Morbeas 10 Posted November 6, 2023 Posted November 6, 2023 This is definitely an issue for me. I try to download the original file, but it just sits there with a blue “Downloading” arrow and never does anything. Both my app and server are up to date.

Natelanxon 27 Posted August 25, 2024 Posted August 25, 2024 (edited) Hey team. Reupping this thread as I have a new iPhone and still have this same issue I’ve had for years of items stuck “ready to transfer.” If you can remind me how to get whatever logs you’d need to diagnose I’ll get that for you.

MikeB111 60 Posted September 2, 2024 Posted September 2, 2024 Just refreshing this thread. Problem continues. I'm running Server 4.8.8.0 on a Windows computer. Have a Samsung android tablet running Emby for Android 3.4.20. I initiated three downloads yesterday so I'd have something to watch during upcoming travel. All three had to be converted and the conversion was successful. Two of them transferred to my device and one is stuck at "Ready to Transfer." Subsequently my wife did the same on her tablet (same version of Emby) and 2 of her programs converted and transferred and 5 are stuck at "Ready to Transfer." The fact that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't suggests to me that there is nothing wrong with my device setup or network. Seems to be an issue with Emby. I can log on to the server and go to "Scheduled Tasks" and click on "Transfer Media" (hoping that this would initiate the transfers), but it just reports that it ran, taking 0 seconds, and doesn't do anything. On my tablet I can go in to the downloads settings hoping that this would somehow trigger the transfer, nothing. Any suggestions on how to make this a useable feature?
