Access NAS server #857

Open shloo98 opened 11 months ago

Hi,

Are there any plans to add support to retrieve photos from a local NAS server? I've both a OSNAP and ASUSTOR NAS connected to my network and would like to be able to access the photos stored in these 2 NAS servers.

I'm currently using both Fire TV stick and Xiaomi TV Box S (2nd Gen) hocked up to my TVs in the bedroom and living room. AVES Gallery are installed in both of these tv boxes.

Thank you.

SH Loo

I'd prefer this be handled by allowing the user to manually specify "media folders" - e.g. just let the app have the file browser function, then the user can navigate to and select whatever additional directories they may require (and de-select any they wish as well). This would ensure compatibility across any type of storage that may be mounted without requiring the additional development overhead for this app to maintain support for any specific protocol.

On my device, for example, I have my local android storage, but also have 3 SMB mounts, 1 WebDAV, 1 NFS, and my Nextcloud account; with android now having unified storage (and with low latency / high bandwidth WiFi finally becoming more normalized, ensuring the feature's actually useful lol), seems like a (hopefully) simpler way to go about it than managing various providers/protocols within the app.

May as an Idea. A minimal server application that collect all Tags and preview in a certain directory and sub-directory. (may with inotify) and share it over rest with AVES may a small solution. Or work with an already existing Photoserver like immich (REST-API).
