Feature Request: Support for external storage (USB) as cache root on WebOS to improve 4K buffering
I'm running Stremio on WebOS and experiencing buffering issues with large 4K files (>15GB) due to the limited internal storage buffer.
The Idea
I would like to use an external USB flash drive connected to the TV to act as the download cache/buffer for the streaming server.
The Problem
- Closed Source Server: The Stremio Streaming Server source code is not public, so I cannot modify it to support dynamic cache paths or inspect how it handles
cache_root.
- WebOS Limitations: The WebOS client (
stremio-video) currently lacks logic to detect external storage mounts (e.g., via com.webos.service.pdm) and pass that path to the server.
Request
- Configuration: Is it possible to configure the current
server.js artifact to use an external path on WebOS?
- Source/Feature: Could the source code for the streaming server be made available, or could this feature be implemented to allow the WebOS app to utilize external storage for caching?
This would significantly improve playback performance for high-bitrate content on TV devices.
