Android TV - Folder Permissions Needed

[azatsh]

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:

• Android TV (Core version 4.9.125)
• BiglyBT 1.3.4.3

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 #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".

I have tried, this. If you try to format hdd as internal storage, the path doesn't show up any more in the options.

@QaisarRajput This is expected. This is how android dies this. Your internal memory and external HDD will by "united" under same "path".
You can move app's data to internal HDD in android settings for apps. Then if you choose app data folder (Android/data/...) as storage folder - then theoretically app will always write to hdd. If you don't do that , then data will be written first to flash and then to HDD, if I remember correctly.
You can eject HDD to verify that data was not written to internal flash memory, e.g. remember free space of flash memory before joining with HDD, download something, eject HDD in settings, check free space.
