Deleting a downloaded video


Recommended Posts

So I ran into a bit of a bug with downloaded videos. If you are to download a video, watch it for a bit, then delete it, the file would be deleted, however, you will still be able to see the progress of the video in the "Continue Watching" section even though it's been deleted. If you need to see what I mean, I attached two screenshots.

That's because the video is still on the server, you only deleted the downloaded copy.

Can I ask how you delete the media on your mobile?

 

It seems unintuative to me.  When I click the bin/trashcan on the app in an episode it says it'll delete it from the file system and the library, I don't want to go that far ... can't this pop up rather be a "Where do you want to delete this from? <Library & Device> <Device Only> <Cancel>"  I just want to clear this from my phone. Digging into the Downloads menu for a specific episode seems the long way around?

 

Another suggestion, can you add a tick box somewhere that is "Delete files from device after watching"? (and after synching watched status to server) I thought this was an option before, but I can't find it now?

 

Also I've noticed I have removed a download from my device from the download menu, but the file is still on my device in the main download navigation, how do I get rid of this?

 

Using Android App Version 3.0.97

The next time the background process runs it will be cleaned up.

It's a generic dialog using the same text as when you delete from the server, so yes it probably needs some adjustment.
