I tried it because i thought it would work, but is it possible to play local video files? I couldn't get it to work. If so, how? Thanks in advance!

Hi @lennertderyck,

Right now, you need to setup a local server to stream the content.

Setting up this server inside the library might make it too big. If enough people want this feature I think we can add it. But for know, the simplest way is to set it up yourself.

Let me know if you encounter any problems.
