A network folder

The Local tab also shows folders shared on your network: over WebDAV (a NAS, Nextcloud, rclone serve webdav), a Windows or NAS share (SMB 2), or a DLNA media server.

Adding one

Settings › Content › Network folders › Add a network folder, then which kind:

• WebDAV: its address, like http://192.168.0.50:8080/media (https:// too), then the user name and password it asks for, if any.
• A share: the server (192.168.0.50, nas.local), a user name (none: as a guest) and password, then one of its shares.
• A media server: StremioK looks for them on your network; pick one.

Sign-ins are kept on the TV and sent only to that folder.

A folder whose https:// certificate it made itself (no known authority signed it) is asked about first: Trust this certificate shows its fingerprint, and StremioK then accepts that certificate only, for that folder. A new one is asked about again.

What you get

• As a USB drive: browsing, matching to titles, its index (Index this folder), the hold-OK menu, plain files, and subtitle files next to a video. Its sources are On your network folder.
• Played as it is (not converted), so it must be a format the TV plays; a share's files through StremioK's service.
• Not: downloads to it, or the file hash subtitle addons use to find ones made for it.

OK on a folder in Settings › Content › Network folders: Turn off (its sources set aside, its index kept; Turn on brings them back), Index again, or Remove.
