1195207 - DeviceStorage doesn't work on the TV

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::TV, defect)

Description

[Paul Theriault [:pauljt] (no longer reading bugmail)]

DeviceStorage API is pretty broken on the TV. Firstly I can only seem to access "sdcard" at all - pictures, video & music are all null. If I do access deviceStorage:sdcard, and then call any API, I get a prompt which is obviously for a phone, not a TV. I'll attach a photo to explain what I mean.

STR:

1. Install an app with device storage permissions 
"device-storage:sdcard":  { "access": "readwrite" },
2. Attach a debugger an execute the following:
navigator.getDeviceStorages('sdcard')[0].getRoot()

Expected:
Prompt that the user can choose to allow access to sdcard

Actual:
See attached screenshot

Screenshot function is also broken so here is a webcam picture.

I should also mention that there is no way to "accept" or "cancel" the prompt - the buttons on the remote dont do anything to this prompt.

Hi Kusaba-san,

Please take a look at the bug description.
By looking into your code, it seems that you block to crate storage area for videos, picture, and music intentionally. Could you please confirm this? Or it's just a bug?

Thanks.
