This guide soley references Windows packages as it assumes the linux user will know how to use their package manager to download the necessary packages. Contact Draiqil for linux specific instructions.
Part One (Syncthing)
- Download syncthing here.
- Go to localhost:8384 in your browser, then click 'Actions' > 'Show ID'.
- Copy the ID seperated by 7 character blocks and send to Draiqil, await Draiqil and then and accept 'Katarix' connection request.
- Once you are sent the film friday folder, accept it and put it where you like, this will be the folder where media for film friday is stored in.
- You may wish to go into 'Actions' > 'Settings' > 'Connections' and limit your 'incoming rate limit' (download speed) if you are worried about bandwidth.
You will never need to manage the syncthing folder! Media for film friday will automatically be downloaded, and old media will be automatically deleted.
Part Two (Syncplay & VLC)
- Download syncplay here.
- Launch syncplay, and put the server address as katarix.dev:8999, with password MovieNight, the username and default room do not matter.
- Click 'Run Syncplay' to verify you are able to connect to the server. Please contact Draiqil if this is not the case!
- If you do not have 'VLC Player' installed, please download it from here.
- If you have now installed, or already had VLC Player installed you are now ready for the next Movie Night! We hope to see you there :)
