5. 🌍Add a Web Folder (Apache/Nginx)

1 min read

This feature is intended for advanced users who want to serve Funscripts and videos directly over HTTP from their own web server.

⚠️ If you’re new to FunFlixDroid, we recommend using Local Folders or SMB instead. Web folders are primarily for users comfortable with hosting and configuring web servers.

🧠 What’s a Web Folder? #

A Web Folder is a video/script source served over HTTP or HTTPS via a server like Nginx or Apache.
This lets you:

  • Stream media from a personal server or cloud instance
  • Access content without mounting network drives

However, setup and compatibility depend on how your server lists files.

✅ Supported Directory Listing Formats #

FunFlixDroid supports two common directory listing formats generated by web servers like Nginx:

  • Nginx HTML directory listing (default for most web servers)
  • Nginx JSON directory listing (optional in Nginx via autoindex_format json directive)

⚠️ Apache directory listing format is not supported yet.
If you require Apache support, please contact the developer to request it.

🚫 Not Supported #

  • No recursive folder scanning: only the selected folder’s content will be loaded.
  • No support for HTTP authentication (password-protected directories).

🛠️ How to Add a Web Folder #

  1. Go to Home → Gallery → Add Folder
  2. Choose Web Folder
  3. Enter the Folder URL (example: https://yourserver.com/media)
  4. Tap Browse

You’ll then be able to browse the folder using the same interface as for SMB:

  • Navigate through visible folders
  • See how many videos and Funscripts are in each
  • Tap Save when you’re in the folder you want to add
