Does not see external SD card on Samsung Galaxy S5 (Android 4.4+ and 5.0)

[dzmitry-lahoda]

CosyDVR does not see external SD card on subject device.

Other applications see this as attached. Highscreen Boost 2 SE II(Innos D10) with same SD card works well.

It is available /storage/sdcard1?
I fixed this in fvasco@2ec05be

This bug makes software unusable.

Hi asd-and-Rizzo,
I might have fixed your problem in fvasco@56aa2ed

I hope that a new version will released as soon as possible: fill internal memory makes my phone unusable.

Re-factored SD cards detection. Needs checking on different devices and feed back

[dzmitry-lahoda]

My path is /storage/extSdCard as in screenshot attached. I hope to test possible fixes when these get to F-droid:)

[fvasco]

The nice fix doesn't work well.

Cosy show two path options:

• Internal SD card [/storage/emulated/0]
• SD card 1 [/mnt/media_rw/sdcard1]

The first one works correctly (and hangs my phone), the second one is an inaccessible folder and if I starts recording then CosyDVR crashes.

v1.3.9 - trying to fix KitKat SDcard issue. Now video is written to [SDcard]/Android/data/es.esy.CosyDVR/temp or fav. Please check it out.

[fvasco]

v1.3.9 exposes same behaviour: it doesn't work.

Commit aaa832b doesn't work on Moto G2 Lollipop, I attach some logs to diagnose problem.

Regards.

Same issue on Galaxy Note 3, SMN9008V Android 5.0. It shows /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 but this folder does not exist.

[dzmitry-lahoda]

I have upgraded Samsung Galaxy 5 to Android 6.X and still have issue. CosyDVR fails to write to external card. Also I found that open source Seafile can write to external card to paths attached. It would be great CosyDVR write to these paths or allow for #24.

Check out v1.3.19 it scans getExternalMediaDirs and getExternalFilesDirs for API 21+ and 19+
