Folder input

The folder input will make available all supported files in the given folder as streams under this stream name, in the format STREAMNAME+FILENAME. For example, if your stream is called 'files' and you have a file called 'movie.flv', you could access this file streamed as 'files+movie.flv'. This input does not support subdirectories. To support more complex libraries, look into the documentation for the STREAM_SOURCE trigger.

Folder Core

Every input within MistServer requires a Stream name and Source to understand what these mean exactly we recommend reading up on Stream settings
