Use MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on Android TV to properly access storage #8359
Comments
@moneytoo Is this info accurate? Anything to add? |
Not sure who is working at Google and thought "Android TV is production ready" while they forgot to "implement" the only working storage framework... WTF Can't recommend adding that permission to the overall app: https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/manage-all-files
As far as I know we can only ship one manifest file for the complete app. Also:
Not sure if accessing all data is a good idea - from a security viewpoint. |
So that means if we go ahead with this, there would need to be a separate build for Android TV? |
I guess so :/ |
We have already applied the Android TV label, though? Why device/software specific, @litetex? |
From one of the comments in the PR. |
Yes, we switched to fully SAF exactly to switch away from that permission. We can't reintroduce it. |
Hello, I cannot import on Canal+ android tv box but I can in FireTV stick 4k max. |
So, close as wontfix, @Stypox? |
Yes, unfortunately |
Checklist
Feature description
Newpipe should use the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on Android TV devices so that file I/O works properly/bug-free.
Why do you want this feature?
Storage access seems to be broken on Android TV, which affects Newpipe's file I/O operations, such as importing subscriptions.
See #8195 (comment) and #8195 (comment) for context.
