STRM

Supported version

Available in >= v3.58.0.

Overview

Strm is a virtual driver. It reads one or more already-mounted AList paths and exposes media files as .strm files.

It is useful when you want Kodi, Plex-style tools, or local media libraries to consume AList links instead of the original cloud files directly.

Paths Format

Fill Paths with one rule per line:

• alias:/mounted/path
• /mounted/path

Examples:

movies:/115/Movies
tv:/s3/TV
/local/media

Rules:

• If a line has the form alias:/mounted/path, alias becomes the virtual top-level folder name.
• If a line is only /mounted/path, AList uses the last path segment as the virtual name.
• If there is only one valid mapping, the driver flattens it to the mount root instead of creating one extra top-level folder.

Config

Paths

Required. These must be AList mounted paths, not local filesystem paths.

SiteUrl

Prefix URL written into generated .strm files. Leave it empty if your global site_url is already correct.

PathPrefix

Path prefix inside generated .strm content. The default is /d.

FilterFileTypes

Extensions that should be exposed as .strm.

DownloadFileTypes

Extensions that should stay as normal downloadable files instead of becoming .strm.

EncodePath

Encode file paths before writing them into the generated .strm content.

WithoutUrl

Generate path-only .strm content such as /d/path/to/file, without the full site URL prefix.

WithSign / SignExpireHours

Append signed query parameters to generated links. SignExpireHours = 0 uses the global link expiration behavior.

SaveStrmToLocal / SaveStrmLocalPath / SaveLocalMode

Optionally write the generated results to local disk:

• insert: only create missing local files
• update: refresh changed local files
• sync: refresh files and remove extra local files or folders

RotateSignNow

Set it to true and save once to immediately rewrite existing local .strm files with fresh signatures. The value resets to false automatically after saving.

Notes

• The driver mount root is always /.
• Upload is not supported.
• If WithSign is enabled and you also save .strm files locally, use RotateSignNow when the old signed links need to be refreshed.
