Hello All, Exactly 1 month ago we introduced Downloads, our new replacement to Mobile Sync. This was an opt-in feature only available for Android mobile, Sync is Dead (almost). Long Live Downloads! (Android) . We are happy to announce that we have opened up this feature for our Plex for iOS app. …

Just updated to the latest versions of the server and iOS app, and I’m really bummed to see that this new Downloads feature doesn’t have any way to sync a whole library. I use Plex almost entirely for music, not videos, so having my whole music library sync’d to my phone was really easy. Please cons…

[image] kqmaverick: Will it be done through a future app update so I can just stop plex on ios from updating? Yes. If you don’t update to the version that removes the content, you can continue to access it. [image] JDShkolnik: What about the “Sync” option in server status settings? S…

tried out downloads on my fire 10 HD, downloaded a movie and a tv show, tv show plays offline, movie just says “error playing file"External storage not found” dont know what its saying that as i have 200 GB free on my external storage and the tv show plays fine. think ill just have to go back to us…

@anon18523487 I can’t get the Download feature to work. It’s either transcodes or it’s not downloading at all. I will send you the logs. And is there an update on when EAC3 will work? Server Version is: 1.24.5.5173 Plex iOS Version is: 7.24.1 iOS Version: 15.0.2 on an iPhone 12 Pro

I’m not sure if maybe something happened in the backend while this change was being implemented, but all of my unmanaged users whom were home users were booted and now only show up as ‘friends’. This means they can’t stream using their apps. Any idea what might of happened? I’d hate to re-add every…

[image] anon18523487: Yes. If you don’t update to the version that removes the content, you can continue to access it. That is a future update correct? I am already seeing the in app warning Sync removal at the end of 2021 but looking at release notes for the last year saw nothing about Downl…

Yes, a future update. I can’t say that Sync will continue to work and you can Sync new content, but what you already have Synced shouldn’t get removed.

I noticed that Downloads doesn’t support partial downloads, so in order to download a 2 hour 4K HEVC movie that transcodes at 3x speed, you would need to keep the Plex app in the foreground for 40 minutes without closing it or sleeping the device, otherwise the download will fail and you would need …

[image] anon18523487: I’m able to do this. Will need to see your logs to check what’s failing. This is the error on the server when it fails: Oct 29, 2021 08:12:35.053 [0x1475aef2cb38] Debug — [TranscodeOutputStream] Input processing thread exited after writing 753497032 bytes, m_closed=0, …

@Mowee Your logs indicate a DNS rebinding protection issue. See the end of Plex iOS Download feature is unusable as it does not ever complete a download for a discussion on this issue.
