Content Folder Structure

The content folder is where all the shows and episodes are stored. Each show should be placed in its own subfolder within the content directory. The structure should follow this format:

content/{show name}/{episode number}.mp4
content/{show name}/cover.{webp|jpg|jpeg|png|gif}

Example:

content/Example Season 1/1.mp4
content/Example Season 1/2.mp4
content/Example Season 1/cover.webp

Instructions to Set Up Content

1. Create a folder named content in the root directory of the project.
2. Inside the content folder, create subfolders for each show. The name of the subfolder will be the name of the show.
3. Add episode files in .mp4 format to the respective show folder. Name the files numerically (e.g., 1.mp4, 2.mp4, etc.).
4. Add a cover image for the show in the same folder. The cover image can be in any of the following formats: .webp, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, or .gif.

Notes

• Ensure the content folder is properly set up before starting the server.
• The server will automatically detect and serve the content based on the folder structure.
