How to use Download url

Configure download URL

Introduction

Available in General -> Interface, the field download url allows you to specify where the episodes can be downloaded. If configured, a column is added in the episode list with a "Download" link. It's simply generated using the URL configured in the download URL field + the name of the show + the name of the episode. For example, if the download url is set to http://shows.domain.tld/, for the show Firefly the url generated for the first episode could be http://shows.domain.tld/Firefly/Season%2001/Firefly%20-%201x01%20-%20The%20Train%20Job.mp4 (probably different for you since it depends on your naming convention).

You do need a separate webserver with a vhost configured to make the shows available.

Apache

Example configuration if you use apache, assuming your shows are stored in /home/user/shows :

<VirtualHost "shows.domain.tld:80">
DocumentRoot /home/user/shows
ServerName shows.domain.tld
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/shows_access.log combined

    <Directory "/home/user/shows">
       Order deny,allow
       Allow from all
    </Directory>

  </VirtualHost>

nginx

Example configuration for nginx :

server
{
listen 80;
server_name shows.domain.tld;

        access_log                      /var/log/nginx/shows.access_log;
        error_log                       /var/log/nginx/shows.error_log;

        root                            /home/user/shows;
        location /
        {
           autoindex                    on;
        }

}

TODO

  • Make subtitles available for download too
  • Allow to setup a different download URL for each show root directory
