What happened?

Can't make folders or access my SD card on my Android 9 (Sony Walkman device NW-A100).
When I go to Local Media and press "Override", I select a media type "Books" or "Podcasts", then finally press "New Folder".
I get a red box containing the message: "ERROR: Permission Denied"

What did you expect to happen?

Override the permissions to be able to access the SD card contents and save my media onto it.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Go to Local Media
  2. Press Override
  3. Select any media type: eg. Books
  4. Press New Folder
  5. See the error message appear

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Dec 21, 2024):

This is in the wrong repo. Using shared folders on Android 10 and below isn't supported but I added the override in there just in case someone had a device that allowed it.
It is unlikely this will ever be supported
