Emby Theater-Download Button

[JohnsLibrary 9]

How does "Download" work?

When I use the button, nothing gets downloaded.

Tried on both Windows and Linux and it opens a save file dialogue for me where I can pick where to save the file and what to name it.

Hi, what exactly happens when you click it?

[JohnsLibrary 9]

Nothing visual happens at all. I've tried it on my WIN 10 PC and iPad and I don't find any downloaded files

in Downloads or Emby directories. Under the Download section of the dashboard, a thumbnail shows the downloaded movie, but no associated

media that is playable.

In the Settings section of downloads, Enable Full SPeed Conversion is checked.

So this mystery is partially solved. It seems that if you use the 3 little dots "...", there is a choice to "download" and "Download to" the files

will download. What also happens in this case, is the files get downloaded to a directory hidden deep in the Users App Data Directory:

C:\Users\john\AppData\Local\Packages\EmbyMedia.EmbyTheater_svmepx4c03f7m\LocalState\

In any case, since I now know how to download, at least I can now find them.

Maybe someone can answer why Emby uses this odd directory as it's download target.

Did you install Emby Theater from the MS Store?

[JohnsLibrary 9]

Yes!

Try with this one Emby Theater - Emby

Thank you jaycedk. The version at that link you sent does not have a Download icon/button. However, the 3 little dots

work and now I can see a dialog open to download to a specific location. So looks like the version in the Microsoft App

Store I used was maybe out of date.

[Neminem 1519]

I think it is out dated, but not sure, dev's will have to answer.

Glad you got it working, enjoy

That explains why I didn't see a download button like you do, I had to go into the 3 dot menu. I don't touch the MS Store even with a 39 1/2 foot pole.
