* strm
|
|
|
|
*strm* is a small Bash script that lets you stream media files over SSH.
|
|
|
|
No need for mounting and navigating through complex directory structures anymore.
|
|
Just provide a query and the media files are played locally via [[https://mpv.io/][mpv]].
|
|
|
|
Here is an example.. let's assume you have the shortfilm [[https://www.dailydweebs.com/][The Daily Dweebs]] stored on a remote machine in the following directory structure:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src text
|
|
movies
|
|
├── ...
|
|
├── The Daily Dweebs (2017)
|
|
│ └── The Daily Dweebs (2017).mkv
|
|
└── ...
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
If strm is configured to use the =movies= directory, you can play the shortfilm with the following command:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src sh
|
|
strm daily dweebs
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
** Features
|
|
|
|
- List remote files by query
|
|
- Play remote flies by query via mpv
|
|
|
|
** Installation
|
|
|
|
Make sure, mpv is installed and that you have access to a remote machine via SSH.
|
|
|
|
strm is just a script, you can execute it directly.
|
|
Or grab it and place it in you =$PATH=.
|
|
|
|
This project is also a [[https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes][Nix flake]].
|
|
You can execute it with the following command if you have a recent version of [[https://nixos.org/][Nix]] installed and flakes are enabled:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src sh
|
|
nix run github:Deleh/strm -- --help
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
If you use it this way, mpv is started with *MPRIS* support by default.
|
|
|
|
** Usage

-h, --help Show this help message
|
|
-c, --config CONFIG_FILE Path to config file
|
|
-l, --list List files instead of playing
|
|
-s, --shuffle Play files in random order
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
strm -l . # List all available files
|
|
strm Elephants Dream # Play files whose path contain 'elephants' and 'dream' in order
|
|
strm e*phants # Play files whose path matches the wildcard 'e*phants'
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
** Configuration
|
|
|
|
The scripts expects a configuration file with the following content:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src sh
|
|
# SSH connection string
|
|
# Examples:
|
|
# remote # Current user at hostname 'remote' on port 22
|
|
# user@10.0.0.1 # 'user' at address '10.0.0.1' on port 22
|
|
# user@10.0.0.1:600 # 'user' at address '10.0.0.1' on port 600
|
|
connection_string=""
|
|
|
|
# Absolute path to media directory on remote machine
|
|
# Example:
|
|
# /home/<user>/video
|
|
media_directory=""
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
An example configuration file can be found in =./strm.config=.
|
|
|
|
The default path of the configuration is =$HOME/.config/strm/strm.config=.
|
|
You can use the =--config= flag to set another configuration path.
|
|
This is useful if you are using multiple remote machines or different media folders.
|
|
One can set e.g. aliases for different streaming resources:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src sh
|
|
alias mstrm="strm -c <path_to_music_config>"
|
|
alias vstrm="strm -c <path_to_video_config>"
|
|
#+end_src
|
