Adding website as source

[Pietje 0]

I was wondering how I can add a website as a folder/source.

For example if I wanted to add https://download.blender.org/apricot/trailer/ how would I do this?

Hi.  You cannot do this directly.

 

You could either use something that allows you to mount the remote location such that it looks like a part of your file system (rclone) or you may be able to use the IPTV plug-in.

Not even with STRM files? https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Strm%20files

But i am not getting it to work, i have the issue that it oens up a trailer instead of the stream, it is like the same issue as on my android device

 

yes i am aware of how messed up that sentence is but i hope you guys can understand it

Yes, strm would be another option.

 

That link appears to lead to a trailer...

It is possible if you scrape the webistes and make a bunch of strm files of them. and we are in legal business.

then you can do a file comparison to not have duplicates, check for tags like HC TS and stuff and delete the low quality. and then we have "high" quality streams

and to fix those annoying trailers, disable cinema experience

 

for people who want to replicate what i have done:

i used filechef to find the generous hosts

then i wrote a simple python script to scrape all the sites and create strm files for each movie/episode

Just FYI, website scraping for content like this is generally illegal in many countries (unless expressly allowed by the site).  Your example above should be fine since it is from blender (one of the few sites that would allow this)  Proceed at your own discretion.

 

Thanks.
