MediaDC 0.3.0+ important notice

Since MediaDC 0.3.0 version cloud_py_api required to be installed and enabled first. The same way for updates cloud_py_api should be updated first, then update MediaDC. With MediaDC 0.3.0 version Configaration page removed and added pre-compiled Python binaries (with no need of python installations), which being downloaded on app enable/update. But manual Python packages installation and usage of sources is kept, to use it follow next steps:

  1. Change to nextcloud/apps/mediadc directory

  3. In MediaDC Admin settings uncheck (disable) option Use pre-compilbed Python binaries
