Possibility to insert external mp4 files (mp4 that are in a folder) into the dashboard

how expanded? like a full on entry for each file? because they're pretty hardcoded to be streamers > vods right now. or just a file list where you can open/stream the files?

I have old VODS on my server that I recorded with another program. And I would like to display this in the dashboard of the streamer.

1660903516865 something like this? it adds/deletes automatically when dropping videos in the channel folder

exactly like that.

maikmller avatar Aug 19 '22 10:08 maikmller

you can try it out if you switch to the develop branch/image, i'll push it to master in the future

So far it works quite well. But is it intentional that the local files can not be played if you are not logged in?

maikmller avatar Aug 19 '22 12:08 maikmller

nope, just a config value not being sent to guest clients. solved now

Could you explain more how this works? When adding .mp4 vods to the channel folder nothing changes. Added a test vod to Channel folder and saved_vods folder but it is now showing up on the webui.

In this instance I added "It Takes Two" to: ../vods/vods/lekkerspelen and also to : ../vods/saved_vods/lekkerspelen

Logs dont show any info about this.

Also enabled "Enable local videos" in the settings.

that should be enough, but i could just guess that there's something with docker and folder watching that doesn't work properly

I am having the same problem. For me, I am running Docker on Windows with WSL2 and this issue would be an explanation: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/8479 for the behaviour.

However, what about having a regular check on the file system and add found files upon that? It could run, e.g., once each day or once each hour, something like this? What do you think?
