Help and Support

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hi,

I have successfully Accessed WebDAV on Windows 10 PC.
My question is when I try to open a video on mpv player it needs to be fully downloaded in order to play/open the video.
How can I directly stream instead fully download?

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.62.2

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language 21H2 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.19044.2728 Build 19044.2728.2728 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.20.2
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: cmount

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive Mega Dropbox

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone serve webdav alldrive:

--- again, please, if you want help, answer ALL the questions in the template.
--- the latest version of rclone is v1.62.2, best to update now.
--- we cannot see into your computer, so explain in detail your full setup,
--- what does a mapped drive have to do with running rclone on windows?

I did update rclone just now.

it is here explained that windows users can map a webdav as a drive "WebDAV shared folder can be mapped as a drive on Windows"

That is what I did sir. I did run "rclone serve webdav alldrive:" and from windows 10 file explorer I did map network drive successfully.

My question is if I open a video from the mapped network drive the video must be completely downloaded in order to play! I want to know how can I open directly the video without have to wait for the video to be completely downloaded?

İf I open the link of the video directly from vlc player it ask for auth and then plays directly but from the mapped network drive it doesn't play directly instead it downloads the video completely and then plays the video?

oh ok, that looks like some new documentation, i did not see it until now.

documentation has been update after this github issue I think?

I did update everything with log like you said.
As you can in the logs it will only play video after it has been completely downloaded?
Any ideas for my problem sir I would appreciate your help?

i do not use webdav, do not use rclone serve webdav

as for other ideas.
--- try rclone serve ftp
--- use rclone mount and map the mountpoint as a drive letter.
