With a detailed explanation of the functions of VidHub, you can learn more about VidHub.

Media Library

Media Library: All the displayed movies are sourced from the video files in the "File Sources" section. When you add a new folder as a file source, VidHub will automatically search, scrape, and add all the video files in that source to the media library.
Definition: Scraping refers to searching online for movie/show information and posters based on the video file names, and then adding the search results to the media library after organizing them.
Clicking on the three-dot icon in the top right corner will present options: "Rescan Files" and "Edit Media Library".
1.2: "Rescan Files" does exactly as its name implies. It rescans all video files in the file sources, identifies any changes, and synchronizes them with the media library. It is necessary to rescan files when there are changes (additions/deletions/renaming) in the videos within the file sources.
(For users with a large number of movies in their file sources, be cautious when using this feature as it performs a full scan of all file sources, which may take a considerable amount of time. If you know the precise location of the newly added/deleted/renamed video files, it is recommended to scan only that specific location, which will be explained later.)
1.3: "Edit Media Library" allows you to "show/hide/sort" categories within the media library. For example, you can choose to hide the movie category, so it will no longer be visible. You can also rearrange the order of the categories, such as moving TV shows to the second position and movies to the first position.
1.4: Clicking on "View All" shows all the movies within the current category.

File Sources

File Sources can be understood as a repository, a place to manage movie resources. It supports adding, deleting, disabling, renaming, and rescanning files.
Definition: It is a repository for storing movies.
Long-press on any added file source.
1.2: Delete: Delete the file source. All related movies in the media library will be automatically removed after deletion.
1.3: Disable/Enable: Clicking on "Disable" will hide all related movies in the media library. Clicking on "Enable" will display all related movies in the media library again.
1.4: Rename: As the name suggests, modify the name of the "File Source".
1.5: Rescan Files: Perform a separate scan for the files in this file source. It will not affect other file sources.

1.6: The naming convention in the top-left corner of the File Sources section is where you can specify the naming format for movies/shows. Only when you follow the convention and name your movies/shows accordingly, will VidHub automatically scan and gather the corresponding movie/show information, and organize them in the media library.
1.7: Edit: By clicking on the three-dot icon in the top-right corner and selecting "Edit," you can choose multiple file sources and delete them.
1.8: Add/Modify File Source: By clicking on the three-dot icon in the top-right corner, the option to "Add/Modify File Source" will appear.

1.9: Click on "Add/Modify File Source" to access the current page (which stores added local/network/cloud sources).
2.0: Click on "Add Storage" for redirection.
2.1: Network Share: Input the "Server Address" (URL), Port, Username, Password, Path (optional) (from shared by others or if you have your own storage URL videos, assuming VidHub supports it; currently supports WebDav and SMB protocols).
2.2: Cloud Drive: Import movies from the cloud drive to VidHub for organization and playback. For details, please refer to the beginner's guide. Currently supports Alibaba Cloud Drive/Baidu Cloud Drive/Dropbox/OneDrive/Google Drive/Premiumize, etc.

2.3: Open Local Videos: Upon clicking this option, an iCloud Drive pop-up will appear. If the video resources are stored in iCloud, you can directly navigate to the corresponding folder and play the selected video.
If the videos are not in iCloud, click the top-left corner to return to browsing. In the Location category, find and click on "My iPhone." From there, navigate to the folder where the video resources are stored and click to enter. You can then directly play the video files.
Note: Opening local videos will directly play the selected video file.
2.4: Add Local Directory: Select a local folder as a file source. Upon clicking, an iCloud Drive pop-up will appear. If the resources are located in iCloud, you can directly navigate to the corresponding folder. Click "Open" in the top-right corner to add this directory as a file source.
If the resources are not in iCloud, click on the top-left corner to return to browsing. Look for "My iPhone" in the Location category and click on it. Browse through the files on your iPhone to find the folder where the video resources are stored. Once inside the folder, click "Open" in the top-right corner to add this directory as a file source.
Note: The selected local directory will be added as a file source, and all video files within that directory will be scraped and imported into the media library.
If your local videos are in the Photo app, you need to long-press the video, click on "Share," and then choose "Save to Files." Afterwards, you can use the Open Local Video/Open Local Directory features in VidHub to play or import the video into the media library.

Media Servers

Media Servers: VidHub supports adding Plex/Emby/Jellyfin media servers. By providing the server address, username, password, and other required information, you can log in and add a media server. Once added successfully, you can access and stream content from the media server by clicking on it. (Media servers can be self-hosted or publicly accessible servers set up by others.)
