Does Anyone Have Offline Sync to Micro SD Card Working with Emby Server 4.0.0.2 & a Fire HD tablet?

[darrenkdean 31]

Having posted multiple times, & spent countless days troubleshooting this, I am at a stand still with no solution.  Does anyone have a working solution for Offline Sync to a Micro SD Card on an Amazon Fire Tablet running Emby Server 4.0.0.2?

 

Is this issue being worked on or is it officially depricated?  I'm not sure whether or not to be patient (because it is being worked on) or to start looking for an alternate solution, but I need this feature for my kids.  @Luke  Please advise.

 

Best-

This has been an issue for long while now and using an ol version of the app no longer works as a workaround for me. @@Luke I am not asking for an ETA, but I think asking where this is on the priority list is a fair question. I have seen a number of app releases since I first reported the issue but this one has so far not be addressed. So insight is indeed appreciated.

Emby on Amazon Fire 7 does not ask for the required explicit write permission to the external SD card. Could this be the problem?

Bumping this thread to keep it top of mind.  This is a critical feature & it is important that it is restored.

Just checking in for a monthly update.  Has there any progress or potential fixes for this issue? @@Luke

[darrenkdean 31]

Is a fix coming for this? This is a feature I have used for years without issue, up until the server update that changed/broke it all.  Is there any device, any version, that will allow you to sync to an external MicroSD card? @@Luke

Yes, we will be reviewing this again, thanks.

We are working on this. Apologies for the delay.

There are improvements in the app's beta channel if you'd like to help test those out:
