Hi,
I would like to open some videos hosted in my nexcloud server using vlc android application, but the only way to do that in the app is using ftp/smb not webdav, is it possible de install/configure ftp/smb server in nextcloud ?
Thank you
Welcome to the userforums of NC. Thanks for your first participation here.
usually yes. But NC wouldn’t act as a server here but only as a client.
If you wanna install an smb-/ftp server you’d need to do that on level of your OS.
as for android: try opening a sharing-URL in vlc.
Thank you @JimmyKater,
I have already tested “add stream” in VLC with “sharing url” from NC but it doesn’t work !
I’ll test install a ftp server on the nextcloud
be aware that you might decrease security for your server big times by doing so.
I know but I don’t have a choice, I’ll continue to look for another solution
Thanks
I think the following “German” blog post covers your request in the paragraph " VLC auf dem PC":
