Android - Offline Download Locations Incorrect


Recommended Posts

Posted

A small but annoying bug that seems to have been around for ages, and is still in Emby for Android, 3.3.77... The "Download location:" mappings for offline files are incorrect....

Internal Storage - correct - saves data in android application file area on the internal device storage.

External Storage (SD card) - correct - saves data in android application file area on the external (SD Card) device storage.

External Storage (Downloads) - incorrect - saves data in the Downloads folder on the internal storage of the device. 

As more devices are now restricting access to the Android data folders, saving the files in the Downloads gives more flexibility with playback (other video players, offline casting apps etc).

Hi, perhaps we just need to give the option a different name. In developer terminology it is external storage, but many devices end up putting it on internal storage.

Renaming the options would help, but having the option to save to the SD Card Downloads folder would be the best solution.. ;)
