 Meta-Stremio is a **process-read** service that:
 - Reads file metadata from the shared KV store (Redis)
-- Reads media files from the shared DATA volume
+- Reads media files via WebDAV (from meta-sort) or direct volume access
 - Provides HLS streaming with adaptive real-time FFmpeg transcoding
 - Serves as a Stremio addon for seamless playback
+- Supports SMB/rclone mounts via meta-sort's WebDAV endpoint

+**WebDAV File Access**: When `META_SORT_WEBDAV_URL` is set, meta-stremio reads files via HTTP from meta-sort's WebDAV server instead of direct filesystem access. This enables access to SMB/rclone mounts that are dynamically mounted inside meta-sort.
