Stream links trouble

[Javier492]

Im running my dvr server from my samsung tablet. Im trying to use streamlinks to add my Spider Man into the spider verse from amazon which is where i purchased it digitally. I put the files like in these images but i dont know why it does not appear in my library.

Two things:

1. if you create folders in Imports/Movies, just use a name that does NOT end with '.strmlnk' but folders are not required for movies
2. remove the '.txt' file extension at the end of the file name (the file extension must be '.strmlnk')

Imports
    Movies
        Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse (2018).strmlnk

Now how do i get channels to recognize the streamlink?

They will be recognized when you create them correctly by fixing the mistakes noted by @mjitkop

[Javier492]

Its not in my librrary

[tmm1]

Did you rename the folder and rename the file? Can you post a photo of how it looks now

[Javier492]

I checked it and i forgot a the point before strmlnk. But it got added. I have a quick question. Will streamlinks effect my dbr storage by a lot?

[tmm1]

No

Will streamlinks effect my dbr storage by a lot?

Just a little follow up. Storage wise, no real concerns because they are less than 1kb each. But if you have a lot of them, you may notice the app start-up time is longer. I did some math about this in the past:

@babsonnexus

Just for fun, I looked at the math. If you the dumped the entire repository, there are about 225,000 StreamLinks. You said it is taking about 180 second to open your app, so 180 / 225,000 = 0.0008. Take that number * 20,000 and you get 16 seconds, pretty close to the 10-15 seconds I said. So we could say as a general rule of thumb each new record (whether a StreamLink, recording, local file, whatever) is going to add something like 0.0006 to 0.0008 seconds to the start-up time of the app. Let's go high and say we want the app to start up at a minute or less. 60 seconds / 0.0008 seconds per record = 75,000 records.

Thus, there is a relationship we can use to estimate acceptable start-up time versus how many StreamLinks. Acceptable being the relative term to the individual. Let's say 20 seconds is the max one can stand, yielding 25,000 StreamLinks.
