STRM Files

  • Updated

Overview

A STRM file is a versatile format which can be used to build of library of lightweight text files, each containing an HTTP link to a video file stored elsewhere. This works similarly to the Direct URL feature, but allow for links to be added without having to copy/paste them into Infuse.

Usage

Create a normal text file and rename the .txt extension to .strm. Then using a text editor application (like TextEdit on Mac or Notepad on Windows) enter the the direct URL link of the video file.

Examples

Normal video files

File name

Inception-2010.strm

File contents

https://my-server.com/videos/movies/Inception-2010.mkv

ISO video files

File name

Inception-2010.iso.strm

File contents

https://my-server.com/videos/movies/Inception-2010.iso

The naming style of the .strm file should follow the recommended naming styles to ensure the appropriate movie or TV show details can be fetched from TMDB.
