Is there any way to directly link to a file in a local media library? I’ve tried some formats but I haven’t found any that work yet. My use case is that I’m trying to have the video from my doorbell camera play on my phone via an action in a notification (Android).
My intention was to have a notificatoin with “Watch” and “Browse” actions. The former would play the current video, and the latter would take you to the media folder.
So far, I have tried URLs like the following:
/media/cameras/front_door/20250115_233313_FrontDoor.mp4(I get 401 Unauthorized, even though I am logged in). The camera_proxy URL in the camera entity works, but sometimes the camera captures another video (and the entity’s state updates) before I get the chance to click on the notification. For this reason, I want to link to a particular file, not reference the camera entity./media-browser/browser/app%2Cmedia-source%3A%2F%2Fmedia_source/%2Cmedia-source%3A%2F%2Fmedia_source%2Fcameras%2Ffront_doorThis crazy URL is what’s in the address bar when I browse to the media folder that the file is in. If I include the “https://domain.com” part of that URL, it works, but it loads in the default web browser instead of the app.
Is there any way I can accomplish what I’m trying to do?
