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 :
<Directory "/home/user/shows">
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</directory>
</virtualhost>
nginx Example configuration for nginx :
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
