What is (Direct) path replacement and how to use it? #74

Open RandomGithubUsername opened 4 years ago

RandomGithubUsername commented 4 years ago

My guess is I can use Paths feature to replace file path so that I can potentially stream file directly from drive instead of Plex?? If yes, can anyone give an example of what would be "Original Plex path to replace" and "Replace Plex path with"?

What is your OS? How do you have Plex installed? How do you have dizqueTV installed?

RandomGithubUsername commented 4 years ago

Both Plex and dizqueTV run as docker containers on Debian OS.

It's a bit of a hack feature from pseudotv times.

The gist of the idea is that Plex's API will give you a path to one of its disks like "/drivec/plex/library/show/s01e01.mp4"

You can use direct path to make dizqueTV play that path directly.

However, it's possible that if you are using containers or network drives, that dizqueTV will have access to plex's files but using a different file path. Imagine if dizqueTV is running on a container that has plex's library as a volume. The volume maps "/drivec/plex/library" to "/data/plex" . So you would have to tell dizqueTV to replace "/drivec/plex/library" to "/data/plex" using this feature.
