NextPVR Forums - Direct access to media folder structures?

Hi

We have a number of devices that need to pull pictures, i have the pictures folder setup, however the devices are looking for "http://.............", is there a way of doing this so it can pull the tree and get a list of pictures so it can request pictures via the http protocol? (without logging in, i am not sure if an ASP page result would work but willing to give it a go).

There small Android devices (so http or ftp would work). I dont realyl want to have to load a http or ftp server on the MEDIA machine as it already have one built in to NPVR.

You may want to look at this cool utility I use to support enclosures within the NEWA RSS feeds. HFS - HTTP File Server: http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/?f=intro

Hi

Ive looked at the software, its not bad, however its spitting out a webpage, i need just the folder tree (generally a web server will do this if the folder is hit and there's no default index page, if this server is configured to "show tree" it will send the tree it can see in that folder).

Can i assume that NPVR / WEB is unable to get me access direct to the pictures store through the built in webserver without another service installed?

I am talking with the manufacture of the device this needs to work with, however i understand its looking for trees of images (such as an FTP list), however they say http will work as well.

Correct. And at this time I don't have a library interface coded to provide any raw information like that.

Thanks for the clarification, i am still waiting on the vendor of the hardware to find out there requirements, if its a listing we might just put a VERY light FTP read only server in place to share the directory structure.
