Wiki > Streaming Audio and Video
You can easily stream audio or video from your Whatbox using the cross-platform media player VLC (or other players that support HTTP streaming). Url extractor 4 70.
Limitations
Streaming is not a good solution if the bitrate of the media is larger than your network connection. If it takes 3 hours to download a video but 2 hours to watch, streaming is not a good solution. You can choose to use a larger buffer when you click 'More Options' in the 'Open Network Stream' dialog window.
VLC
First, you will need to install VLC. Instructions for doing this will vary by operating system. VLC can be downloaded from the VideoLan website.
- Start by opening VLC.

- Obtain your file's network URL using the following instructions:
- Go to your HTTP directory listing at https://server.whatbox.ca/private
- Log in using your username and slot password
- Navigate to the directory containing the file you want to stream
- Once you find the file, right click the file and select the option to copy the URL or address. See your browser's help for information on the specific name of the command.

Kodi
Kodi is an open-source media center for all platforms that you can use to stream files from your server. Download it from kodi.tv. Kodi can scrape the files on your server to get film, tv and music information; but that only works if you separate each kind of content in a different folder.
- Go to Videos > Files > Add Videos > Browse > Add network location
- Enter your slot's information and the folder you want to index (/home/user/files is used in below examples).
- HTTPS
Protocol: Web server directory (HTTPS)
Server address: server.whatbox.ca
Remote path: private/files
Port: 443
Username: user
Password: <password>
- SFTP
Protocol: Secure shell (SSH/SFTP)
Server address: server.whatbox.ca
Remote path: /home/user/files
Port: 22
Username: user
Password: <password>
- FTP

To use
explicit TLS
with FTP with recent version of Kodi, edit the file ~/.kodi/userdata/mediasources.xml
and append |auth=ssl

before adding any other sources.Kodi will now try to scrape information about your content and add them to your library. If you separated your content in different folders, you need to repeat these steps and choose a type of content for each folder.If you're missing files with very long filenames or weird characters using HTTP(S), switch to (S)FTP.

A media resource locator (MRL) is a string of characters used to identify a multimedia resource or part of a multimedia resource. A MRL may be used to identify inputs or outputs to VLC media player.
The MRL syntax is:
