Playing files from HTTP server - Segfault - 2021-04-27
Apache is configured not to give directory listing, to create index.html I used command 'tree -H . > index.html'. Now I can point my browser to this subdirectory in server and play MP4 files. It is OK when using a PC, but I haven't figured out how to play these files with Kodi. I did search the Wiki, but ... it certainly is possible, right? Do I have to install some add-on?
RE: Playing files from HTTP server - Fuzzard - 2021-04-27
parsing of html sources in kodi is essentially hand tailored to common http server index pages. If your "tree -H . > index.html" doesnt create a "standard" html index page, it wont be parsed, and therefore no items will be found.
The example layouts of index files that are supported can be found here https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/tree/master/xbmc/filesystem/test/data/httpdirectory

Thanks for reply! This is the top of the index.html, you see anything wrong with it?
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="Author" content="Made by 'tree'">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="$Version: $ tree v1.8.0 (c) 1996 - 2018 by Steve Baker, Thomas Moore, Francesc Rocher, Florian Sesser, Kyosuke Tokoro $">
<title>Directory Tree</title>
