I was sad to see today that Mobile Ed videos are only mobile when you have an internet connection. Is there going to be an option to download the videos for offline use at some point?

    If you look in the panel menu for the videos in logos 5 you can download them.

    Thanks, that is helpful on the PC or Mac, but what I really want is to be able to download content on my tablet (Android). I did not make that clear before, but the name is Mobile Ed after all ( :-P ).

    I agree this would be useful, but at the moment there is no indication of what the size of that download would be and it seems to be all or nothing download on computer - which is fine for computer - but for mobile device if download is too large for all it would be advantageous to have choice of selecting which videos to download for offline usage.

    I agree, but the feature is already available for the audio version of the LEB. You can select what chapters of what books you want to download, so hopefully it will come with time.

    I clicked "Download Media." Are there any indicators to tell me what has been downloaded thus far or the progress of the download? Or are the videos downloaded only as I play them? What folder sre they being downloaded to?

    I did not see any progress when I downloaded them, but the content of the "web cache" folder in the Logos App data directory did increase so I think they are stored there.

    Otto the only way you can tell is when the menu changes.  While videos are downloading you will get two choices to cancel download and to delete downloaded material. Once download finished menu will just give you option to delete downloaded material.

    Thank you Zachary and DOC for your responses. I did notice the only option I have now is to delete the downloaded media.

    Zachary,

     I'm not sure about Android but on the iOS version if you search the library for LT151 and select the circled i (information) icon on the right had side it opens the info about that resource and as a download button.
