TINK

This is a media browser / player. Just point it at a web resource with a Kodi / XBMC compatible directory layout and you're all set.

Tink supports both standard HTTP webservers that send a human-readable directory index and WEBDAV servers.

RUNNING

Your media files should be present on the local system, or on a webserver. Put the app there as well. Do: "npm run dist", this builds a zipfile, then unzip the zipfile in a suitable place.

Copy the appconfig.json.sample file to appconfig.json, and edit the configuration.

CONTENT SERVER CONFIGURATION

Your media files should layed out and named as documented here:

Kodi TV shows layout
Kodi Movies layout

With added restrictions:

• you must put each movie in its own directory.
• multi-file movies are not supported yet
• for tvshows, the episodes have to be located in a folder per season, so whatever.s01e03.mp4 goes in the "S01/" directory (this will be fixed in the future).

Note that if you are pointing the configuration to a location different from where you are serving Tink from, the webserver has to set the following headers because of CORS (examples are in the Apache webserver coniguration file format):

Normal HTTP server:

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"

Webdav server:

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, OPTIONS, PROPFIND"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Depth"

BUILDING

You need to have nodejs installed. Then:

npm update
gulp
npm run dist

There should be a zip file in dist/ with the whole app.

DEVELOPING

• To bundle up and build the javascript and css once, run:

  gulp

• For continuous automatic updates / builds, run:

  gulp watch

• The entry point for a webbrowser is app/ (app/index.html).
