Download / Sync ? not available

Server Version#: Version 1.4.1.940-574c2fa7 (Unraid)
Player Version#: Version 1.18.4.2164

Hey!

I saw that now we can download instead of sync , which is super nice !
But my friends who have acces to my server can t download, only sync. I try also with my laptop, with my friend account, and I can only sync …
Do you know why ?
Is it possible to let my friends DL from my serveur instead of Sync?

thanks

Syncing and downloading is managed as one setting/preference in the user restrictions… so if your friend can sync, he/she should also be able to download.

That being said… downloading is only supported with the new Plex desktop client.
From what I remember it’s not supported in the (older) Plex Media Player nor the “big screen” / tv clients.

On a mobile device there’s no direct download option as Plex will always transcode the video to meet the device restrictions.

Thanks for your answer.

Everything is ‘‘enable’’ sync/download.

Plex desktop client is updated, last version on MAC.

I tried logged with my account ( the one of the server with plex pass) it s working well, I can DL everything I want.
I tried with my friend account on my Mac, (my friend doesn’t has plex pass) it s doesn t allow to DL only to sync movie from my server.

I don t understand…If you have any suggestion ,there are welcome !

thanks !

Can you share two screenshots t from your setup where it’s working for you but not your friend?
