|
|
|
|
In order to see your local media in your Home Assistant media browser, you'll
|
|
need to add media to your media folder.
|
|
|
|
If you haven't set up a local media folder yet, check out this page on
|
|
[setting up the local media source][setup-media]
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can access your (automatically) created media folder using the dashboard.
|
|
Navigate to the {% my media_browser title="Media > Local Media" %}, and in the
|
|
top right corner, click manage. Here you can add and delete your media.
|
|
|
|
## Home Assistant OS & Supervised
|
|
|
|
If you are running Home Assistant OS or Supervised, you can also use the
|
|
Samba add-on. If you haven't installed the Samba add-on yet, you can do
|
|
so by browsing to the {% my supervisor title="Settings > Add-ons" %} panel.
|
|
Next, click on the "Add-on store" tab and search for "Samba" and click on it.
|
|
|
|
On the Samba add-on page, you can find a tab called "Documentation" with
|
|
the add-on installation and usage instructions. After that, you can copy/move
|
|
media onto your device using drag and drop in your file explorer.
|
|
|
|
Other add-ons are available, for example, SSH and others provide access to the
|
|
media folders as well.
|
|
|
|
## Home Assistant Docker
|
|
|
|
After you have [set up a local media][setup-media] folder, you can add
|
|
any media to that folder you have mounted in.
|
|
|
|
Your media will show up in the Home Assistant frontend automatically.
|
|
|
|
## Home Assistant Core
|
|
|
|
After you have [set up a local media][setup-media] folder, you can add any
|
|
media to that folder you have set up.
|
|
|
|
Your media will show up in the Home Assistant frontend automatically.
