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
