Development Update

[abhishek1io]

Hi, brother,

I’m really interested in this project—I love the idea! Hosting a Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin server isn't easy or resource-friendly.

I've used your DriveStream, and it’s great. I really love it!

I noticed your last commit was 7 months ago. Are you still developing this project? I'm just asking for an update. I’m not a developer yet, but I plan to learn soon (though I’m not sure when).

Could you please explain how to build the APK for this project? I’d love to try it out, even though I know it’s not fully baked yet.

I’m really excited for this project to be completed soon and am eagerly looking forward to it.

It's in the works, but progress has been astoundingly slow because of some UI design choices, juggling other projects, and my day job.

Note: By UI Design choices, I mean, unable to come up with a modern intuitive and most of all a satisfactory design (if previous few version tags are anything to go by).

Thanks for the update! I totally get how juggling multiple projects and work can slow things down. No worries—take your time with the UI. I’m sure you’ll come up with something great eventually.

By the way, I recently forked your project and built the APK through GitHub Actions. So far, the only thing that’s working for me is movies with the TMDB ID embedded in the file name, which works fine. But writing the TMDB ID in every movie or TV show file isn’t really practical.

Looking forward to seeing how things progress 😊.

can you show the directory structure

@notabhixhek

it's only working for movies now .

lets say for the movie Avatar (2009), the naming convention would be:

Basic Format: -- Avatar.2009.1080p.BluRay.mkv

With TMDB ID: -- Avatar 2009 [19995].mkv

This format includes the movie title, release year , TMDB ID and file extension. The TMDB ID should be added in square brackets .

Edit : Remember the scanned file does not going to show up in the Library [ Movies | TV Shows ] -- you have to manually search for that movie to watch it .

[notabhixhek]

/movies/Avatar (2009)/Avatar 2009 [19995].mkv or /movies/Avatar 2009 [19995].mkv

we prolly can automate it out using tmdb api

@notabhixhek

/movies/Avatar (2009)/Avatar 2009 [19995].mkv or /movies/Avatar 2009 [19995].mkv

Both should work fine .

Yeah we can automate but we have seen many services like plex , jellyfin and emby can just work with normal file naming conventions. So may be different approach .

[notabhixhek]

I really liked the project, serving files through gdrive or other cloud solutions in future, I don't want to rely on services like Jellyfin or something there's another similar project but it doesn't do it from drive and yeah no need to change name it just grabs similar to JF/Plex https://github.com/AttemptD/AfuseKt-release if u want to give it a shot

@notabhixhek

I also really like the project very much , hosting a sever is pain and need resources .

Yeah , i have tried the Afusekt but they only supports onedrive and other things which I don't have .

IF ZPlex will ever add the support for Rclone.conf if would be Amazing -- there's a project called [ Round Sync ] with brings rclone to our Android seamlessly.

And this reduce the pain of login again and again and the exporting database .

This Will add support for many cloud service Providers.
