Browse files through Window's file explorer?

[mikemathewson]

I love this app but the one thing I miss is being able to browse the files on my NAS through Windows file explorer and then directly play them in VLC. Now the files are just symlinks to /mnt/nzbdav/.ids/... and Window's cannot see that path so the files do not display.

Is there any workaround for this?

you can do that if you access your rclone mount instead

[nzbdav-dev]

and then directly play them in VLC

You can always browse through dav-explore page on the web ui.
Then copy the download link for the nzb you want to play. And play through VLC -> Media -> Open Network Stream

Or you can use rclone for windows to mount the same webdav to some location on your windows machine. And then browse to the /content folder on the webdav.

Hope that helps!

Can someone please post a how-to for using Rclone in Windows? I’ve tried creating an Ubuntu VM that contains rclone and nzbdav, however even when a folder is shared using samba, Plex in Windows cannot access or play the content. Thanks.
