Download to external storage iOS?

[dgwharrison 0]

Hi, is it possible to download to external storage on iOS (iPadOS actually)? I see you can do it on Android though I don't have an Android. Would be the main value-add for me over PlexPass.

Hi Luke. Before I go ahead and buy an lightning -> usb adapter for the iPad, can you tell me if this is possible yet?

Hi, the update for macOS isn't out yet, but this has been added in the update to Emby for iOS that went out today. Thanks !

This was a great coincidence! I like it and I appreciate the change, is very welcome. However, I thought it would be implemented differently.

The implementation done is by changing the Downloads folder location. I thought I would select a piece of content (movie, show, etc), press Download To and there I would be able to select the external drive, as an option, not as the only choice. Am I understanding this incorrectly? If not, is this change something in the roadmap? Thank you very much!

You mean individual locations for each download? Currently it's only a global option that will apply to all downloads.

Yes, exacly. I would add the download locations as multiple sources, where the external drives would be. When downloading a show or a movie, I would add the location as an option and select one of the possible locations. There I would be able to select the external drive or the internal drive, as I prefer. Some content I'm now watching I want to add it internally, but some content I will want to see later, like when I'm travelling, I prefer it to be on an external drive.

I believe that would be a great feature! Thank you very much!
