and "program files"

The lib/findFiles part of this add-on is platform specific, and must be tested extensively on every platform

The goal is that it scans through all the video files (mp4, mkv, avi) on the system

should find objects with an imdb id and deliver a stream

For diagnostic purposes

should contain indexing field with the last error and number of discovered/skipped (already indexed)/indexed

also other stuff if applicable

The Readme says:

Presents a catalog to Stremio containing all the found items, where IMDB-recognized video files are grouped by IMDB ID and torrents are grouped by BitTorrent infohash; non-recognized video files are omitted

But the title of the addon on my machine is:

Local Files (without catalog support)

And there is, in fact, no catalog of my local files in the interface. Why is that? Is there a way to activate catalog support?

there are plenty - ensure all of the important ones are taken care of

Hi,
is it possible to index files on another drive? As I have this git running under c:/my documents and it only searches my c drive. I then tried running it on my f drive but still only indexed my c drive.

currently we use super slow torrents and they time out
so this might require separating the bittorrent stuff out, or just using faster torrents

• Check meta tags of video files
• have a local DB of names, and a remote fallback; pre generate a list of regexes that will always match against the full name? That will allow per-item flexibility such as allowing a season/episode stamp in front or not
• local files should be indexed smarter: string distance could be employed, and finding repeating patterns
• first try matching any local file against any of those names in a list of patterns

Some things that might help:

• https://crates.io/crates/imdb-index
• Ivshti/video-name-parser#10

since they will have the same poster as normal imdb id items, we may want to name them differently so that they can be distinct in the stremio UI

e.g. "allo allo (local files)"

If an .nfo file is discovered, treat it's directory root the same way as a .torrent file, and use the .nfo file itself to discover the imdb id

https://github.com/TRtomasz/stremio-local-addon/blob/pathFix/test/index.js#L1-L2

This addon may do a bunch of things that are blocking or absurdly I/O heavy

so in this case, either limit the amount of indexing it can do or simply run it separately

Hi,

I have MKV files under C:\Users\sahin\Videos\Movies path, and it's indexed as well however, plugin doesn't seem to recognize or locates video files.

Based on the #21 (comment) add-on's simply not working as expected or explained.

Description
Users are missing feature to scan folders manually. Indexing on windows is limited and users who has NAS are not able to watch movies that are stored on these devices. We should add option to add folders that should be scanned that could be added as stremio setting but it is not necessary as i consider it a Power User setting, so they should be able to do it by themselves

• when using the bt: resource for meta, we can just associate srts with the Stream objects
• when using a torrent addon in stremio, we can request a subtitles resource which will be handled by this addon

If this add-on is embedded in the streaming server, ensure it can't crash it - so basically ensure the probability of an uncaught exception is low

I'm using stremio on a Macbook Pro Silicon, MacOS 13.1, fresh install of stremio. I get a "Not installed" warning, even though the addon is installed and activated. I can't add a single file to the library, it says added and then nothing happens. And if I switch to another tab, go back to Discover and click on others, I can't see the Local Files submenu.

As you can see the addon is downloaded and activated. I've already restarted the app numerous times.

I don't know what other information I can give you. Any help? Thanks :)

How do i add my files from other drives to the index,
is there a way to give path locations to stremio?
its not grabing them even thought its included in libraries

When we discover a .torrent file, we need to send it's trackers (sources) to enginefs too

Currently there is no way to disable or uninstall this addon.

Please make it opt-out, giving the user a choice. As an example, I have several videos on my local storage that I don't want to be visible on Stremio. It could be porn, it could be private business videos, it could be family related videos, anything.

I did a test and Stremio even scans hidden (+h) folders on the drive for media. This is no good.

Apologies: in reality, it scanned a folder with several .torrent files on it. This folder is sitting inside my "Documents" folder, and that's what was showing on the "local media" section of Stremio.

A proper storage path should be selected/configured

for unix, this can be done via fs.watch

for mac, there is a mdfind flag we can use

for windows, god knows

Just installed stremio on ArchLinux via this package

It doesn't find ANY of my files!

for file entries, this is a pretty big problem; we may want to try to probe for the files' existance before delivering result from meta or stream

for bittorrent entries, this is not an issue, cause as long as we have the infohash and fileIdx it will work

we don't have an index for it (imdbid), so currently we either have to iterate or have to add an index
