WebDAV ​

What is WebDAV? ​

  • WebDAV: A standard protocol for accessing files on remote servers, supported by many NAS devices (Synology, QNAP), cloud services (Nextcloud, ownCloud), and dedicated servers.
  • Features:
    • Browse folders and subfolders on your WebDAV server.
    • Search for audio and video files.
    • Stream music files (MP3, FLAC, OGG, WAV, AAC, and more) directly in AN Player.
    • Stream video files (MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, WebM, and more) directly in AN Player.
    • Works with any WebDAV-compatible service including Nextcloud, ownCloud, Synology, Box, and more.

Install ​

  1. Open AN Player and go to the Plugins Screen.
  2. Find WebDAV in the official plugins list.
  3. Install the plugin and open its configuration page.

Configure Plugin ​

WebDAV requires your server address and optionally your login credentials.

  1. Open the plugin configuration page from AN Player.
  2. Enter the Server URL — this is the full WebDAV address of your server. Examples:
    • Nextcloud: https://your-server.com/remote.php/dav/files/your-username/
    • Synology: https://your-nas-ip:5006/
    • ownCloud: https://your-server.com/remote.php/webdav/
  3. Enter your Username and Password if your server requires authentication. Leave them empty if your server allows anonymous access.
  4. Enter a Base Path to limit browsing to a specific folder (e.g. /Music). Use / to browse from the root.
  5. Tap Save.

If Nothing Loads ​

If your files don't appear after saving, check the following:

  • The server URL may be wrong — make sure it includes the full path (including /remote.php/dav/files/username/ for Nextcloud).
  • Your username or password may be incorrect — try logging in to your server through a web browser to verify.
  • Your server may require HTTPS — if your server uses a self-signed certificate, it may not work. Check with your server administrator.
  • The base path doesn't exist — make sure the folder you specified actually exists on the server.
  • Your server may not be reachable from your current network — if it's a home server, make sure you're on the same network or have set up remote access.
