I want some videos to play when I activate certain scenes. I need some storage capability because the videos may weigth more than 100gb in total. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
I have a samsung tv and I can cast files directly to the tv, I’ve been able to cast some images from the www folder in HA but nothing more… tried with a video and it didn’t work
another thing to mention, all those videos I want to store come from Youtube, so maybe there’s a easier solution to this… tried media_extractor with no luck, not sure how it works either…
I would like to play a playlist of videos from an automation, not just a single video. would that be possible with libreELEC? I guess it would looking at the documentation.
I tried Plex and it’s working great, is there any way to efficiently install either a Kodi or Plex server in the same Raspberry as HA?
if not, what raspberry should I buy to run a Plex server? could I store all the videos in the SD card itself or should I use and external hdd for such purpose?
Just in case it helps someone, I ended up using an Asus router as media server. From there I can cast videos to my samsung TV in automations using the cast url service from
With that server you can as well easily acces all your content through the very same TV UI
