New path substitution

[killride 47]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to add a path like ftp://web.com:21/ ( I know it was make to use like that) But now it's possible to do I think cause the server try the path and refuse with this kind of path.

 

Do u have a way to do that manualy in the server?

 

Thanks

Hi.  This functionality is for local network protocols.  It won't support ftp or http.  You would need a UNC or other local network path.

but the previous path subsitution works with that so I would like to do the same or I will downgrade to the previous version.

I guess the question would be if you were able to enter a path like that before, did it actually work?

[killride 47]

No if i enter a path like before, the system says "error check your path".

someone can give me the link to DL the previsous version, i guess 3.0.7300 please?

No, I am saying just because you were able to enter it before did it actually work/do anything?

I guess, if they were using an app (Kodi comes to mind as probably the only one) that could read from an ftp stream then it may have worked.

You say it worked before, so are you trying to add a new path?  All previous path substitutions are still being used, they reside in the system.xml.

I see what you mean. The previous path works since the update but I'm not able to add a new one for my new folder

[killride 47]

I will Try to add it manually in system.xml thanks

Are you positive it is doing anything?  What is the device/app that is playing back the item?

[killride 47]

It works ! adding the <pathsubstition>  in system.xml.

 

My remote users use path subsitution with a ftp server to be able to read .strm files with all the kodi features.

 

Cause emby is not at the time able to do that with strm files

It only allows windows path substitutions. Not linux style. So no smb://ip/share but only \\ip\share. 

 

Althought it is a windows app. I think the server software is mostly used on non windows systems? I.e. NAS.

 

Can this be added again?
