directory permission issue with oreo

[Fl0r14n]

Since upgrading sony tv to oreo, all torrents which require a directory being created in the process, fail with Permission denied (/storage/....). The rest of them work fine. Is there some permission missing?

The path is something like /storage/[USB drive]/Android/data/com.ap.transmission.btc/files/Download which is the default path

Have you tried to reinstall the application?

[Fl0r14n]

Yes. Many times. I thought that it was a sony issue at fist, so I also tried to not enroll the usb drive as recording at first and also do a factory reset, until I found out that if a torrent did not contain a directory it would download it. This wasn't a problem with android 7

Hm... I tested it with android 8 and 9 - no problem. It seems something specific to your firmware.
Have you tried to change the default download directory?

[Fl0r14n]

Yes, inside the app context and same thing. Outside the context writing of anysort is not possible. So for example I removed /Download. Other solutions are not possible since for example fx explorer cannot create folders ouside its context

Hello Andrey.
There is impossible to download torrent on external mount point.
I have Android TV 9 box and my hdd mounted using cifs client.
X-Plore application can ask for write permissions but your application not.

Could you please add this feature?

[AndreyPavlenko]

Hello, Which cifs client do you use?

It integrated in firmware of tv box (ugoos X3 pro)

To be honest, I've never used it with smb shares and I'm not sure if it works.
