Possibility of support for new extensions

[diegogyn]

Hi there,

I hope you're doing well. I was wondering if it's possible to add support for a few more file formats—specifically odp, pptx, pdf —in addition to the current ones (mp4, avi, mkv, mpeg, mov, webm, m4v, mpv, mp3, flac, wav, jpg, jpeg, png). Is this something that might be implemented, or is it a limitation of the protocol?

Thanks for your help!

Hello. Unfortunately DLNA devices dont support these formats. There is also an API call "getProtocolInfo" which Go2TV also calls to determine the available formats for each device. (you can inspect that if you export the logs from the settings tab)

For PPTX and PDF files, controlling page navigation is essential. One workaround is converting the documents to images during streaming, allowing the UI to support next/previous navigation. However, this approach requires significant effort to implement correctly and can feel like a hacky solution.
