Android TV - Folder Permissions Needed #250

Open azatsh opened 3 months ago

azatsh commented 3 months ago

Hi ! When I try to download a torrent that has a folder I get an error "Folder Permissions Needed". If I download another torrent without folder (just files) it works normally. BTW I did setup BiglyBT to use registered media storage which is available for writing. I can create folders using adb (connecting from home PC) and linux commands. Please help !

Details:

Update: After getting the red error message if I click on it it shows me a prompt asking for authorize. But when I click on authorize it shows me white rectangle, no buttons there. Pushing OK button (on remote control) does not help either.

Actually what app is it trying to open/show after clicking on authorize ?

this is probably a duplicate of https://github.com/BiglySoftware/BiglyBT-Android/issues/248

in permission there is no setting to allow management of all files

for new android versions. that's why BiglyBT can't create folders.

As a workaround you can try to format hdd as "internal".
