Offline Access aka Download issue on Android

Was there ever any resolution to this? I'm currently using Emby 4.8.10.0 and I am experiencing this exact same problem with my Android phone.

Hi @mintman72can you please provide a specific example?

How to Report a Problem

Thanks !

It's actually ok. I figured out what the problem was. It was how I was naming the files I was using. I used to name my files like this: Series [Season # - Episode #] - Episode Title. For example, the first episode in the first season of the Transformers G1 cartoon would look like this: "Transformers [1-01] - More Than Meets the Eye - Part 1.avi". For whatever reason, Emby wouldn't recognize that this file would be considered to be part of season 1 if I tried to download the files. I would go to download the first season of a show, and nothing would be recognized as being part of the first season, so nothing would get downloaded. Since then, I renamed my files so that they would look like this: "Transformers - S01E01 - More Than Meets the Eye - Part 1.avi", and now Emby recognizes the files properly and downloads them when I ask it to.

I hope I didn't botch that explanation so much that it couldn't be understood!
