Http instead of smb direct paths #1993

Closed doomwithdon closed 11 months ago

Is there a way I can use webdav/http links instead of smb paths for direct path mappings?

KyleSanderson commented 1 year ago

yes

I tried just placing the http url in the direct path settings but that didn't work. Is there anything specific to be done?

KyleSanderson commented 1 year ago

customize paths:

replace UNC
replace Plex paths /vol or \myserver
make sure original and "replace" match correctly.
escape special characters.

playback:

Try Direct Path

all of this needs to be done before you import the data, otherwise you need to start fresh.

Tried exactly that. Ended up with a blank library. Path mappings are as follows: Plex mount: /mnt/cloud Replaced by : http://abcxyz.com:1234 Both paths point to same directory listings and yet it ends up with a blank library

Bump..Anyone have any suggestions? from the looks of it only smb protocol is supported by direct paths

So i played around with escaping special characters and now my TV Shows get synced correctly with http direct paths but my Movies section turns out blank. The mappings for both sections are exactly the same so I am just tearing my hair out at the moment.

Got it working by playing around with the escape characters option and changing my domain. Not sure what exactly fixed it but now I dont have any issues. Thanks!
