Is it possible to stream files from a mounted ftp server? - Jonas Sedig - 2023-12-10
I currently store my files with Disbox (https://github.com/DisboxApp/web) and I want to mount it to my PC using rclone. I am currently attempting this with Disbox's FTP implementation (https://github.com/tris203/disftp). My question is, if I successfully mount my FTP server with rclone, will it work to stream my files via Jellyfin?
Here is a link to my current progress with rclone if anyone is interested: https://forum.rclone.org/t/mounting-ftp-server-not-listing-any-folders/43373

In theory, yes.
As long as JF sees the files as part of any filesystem, it should be able to play them.
However with FTP, as i tried with other mediaservers before there might be issues as FTP is generally a pain with random access.

Thanks for the response, I'll play around with it and see how it works. I'm currently trying to map my ftp server with rclone
