Open Directories are publicly accessible web server directories with directory listing enabled. These are web pages that display a list of files and folders, similar to how you view files on your computer. They are commonly found on Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd, LiteSpeed, and other web servers where directory indexing is enabled. These directories allow direct access to browse and download files through your web browser.
Example directory structure:
Index of /movies/
[DIR] Action/
[DIR] Comedy/
[FILE] movie1.mp4
[FILE] movie2.mkv
M3Unator is designed to work with these directory listings, automatically detecting media files and creating organized playlists.
