Watch videos from my cloud without to download them for extern

[henryjfry]

Hello

I think ordner, if it isnt a typo might be ordinateur, which would be french for computer.
By default it is not possible to just watch stuff on your mycloud without first downloading the whole video, through the android app, for example. Which is pretty ■■■■ in 2016 but at least I didn’t buy the thing expecting that functionality.

It can be enabled with via webdav, but it will probably only work if you have really decent internet (which i do not).

some useful info i had saved in a text file about how to get it up and running and a config file which actually works (seem to recall none of the http config i was able to find at the time I was getting it working actually worked):

Enable webdav

Thank you Nazar. That fixed it. So essestianlly on the WD cloud, the only thing i needed to do was to  1- put a new config file for the new site(webdav) in  /etc/apache2/conf.d/ 2- add the listening port in ports.con 3- add a user to for webdav by running:           htdigest /etc/nas/apache2/auth/htpasswd ‘DeviceUser’ my_webdav_username where “my_webdav_username” is the same user i use to login to the WD gui dahsboard.
