Local Files will display and allow you to play any of the supported file types listed above as long as they exist in the local files media directory.
The default media directory is located at:
- RaspberryPi:
~/.local/share/240-MP/media - MacOS:
~/Library/Application Support/240-MP/media
And you can change that to any directory you like (a different local folder, usb, remote share, etc...) through the Media Directory option in settings.
Folder browsing is supported as well so feel free to organize your files in the media directory however you prefer.
Local Files also supports .m3u/.m3u8 playlists and you can use them to create playlists for things like a season of a given TV Show. Combined with the Resume Playback setting, playlists can allow you to keep track of where you are in a given list of videos.
- Music/Audio playback support
