How to move downloaded file?

[Fred Perso]

I used IMPlayer to download tv show from catchup mode in the app (it's the first i know that does that and it's really cool!).

Anyway, file is stored on Internal Shared => /Android/media/com.myiptvonline.implayer/

But I cannot move/copy to any other place as it seems it's related to permission. Implayer has permission, as well as X-Plore but I always have errors like:

Failed writing to file (path to destination folder): open failed : EACCES (permission denied) 

or when copying file

Failed writing to file (path to destination folder): close failed: Operation not permitted EPERM (operation not permitted)

 

It does the same thing if i want to move file...

Is it related to buzztv box or implayer app?

How to manage to get theses files out of the box?

thx

on your pc go to network devices and you should be able to to see your buzz device connected to your network (make sure local discovery devices on network is enabled on your pc). then click on it go to designated folder and copy from buzz device to directly to you pc.

First of all, the feature to download catchup has been on BuzzTV app for ages now.  I use it all the time.

First of all, what you are asking is NOT related to buzz really, since you are talking about a 3rd party app.  The issue is imPlayer and the way it has implemented it.

But just a summary, you will NOT be able to "move" the file, since you probably don't have write permission on that directory, .In order to move you technically copy from a directory (Which only needs read permission from that directory), but you need write permission in destination (which I assume you do if you are copying to a USB stick or something else).  But to complete the move, it then deletes the file from that directory, which requires "write" permission which you do not have.  OK, I over simplified it, since filesystem is a little different on android/linux than windows (mostly a quick inode update for a move on android), but permissions all still need to be there., and that is the general sequence of events.

Since the buzz boxes are not "rooted" you don't have any way to gain write access to that directory.

When you are in channel list, and you onto a channel with catchup available and then press Dpad-right to get the single channel EPG to see what programs are available, you can scroll up/down or other day (depending on what server has available) to select something, and then on the bottom color key legend you will see that the "blue" button will trigger a "download" of whatever you have highlighted.

Has been there for AGES.   And a similar download option exists for VOD/TV Series.  With VOD/TV Series it is not a colored button, but actually a selection on screen where you can choose to "play" or "download" a little further to the right.
