[Feature Request] Add support to read files from Samba (SMB) Network Storage #965

Open LazyGeniusMan opened 1 year ago

Hi, I wonder if it's possible to read the files from Samba (SMB) network storage?

I've been searching ebook reader app that support this but haven't found it. The closest thing I got is WebDav. I found a lot of app that support Samba for Comics and Videos files but haven't found the one for ebooks. Is it impossible or just not implemented?

@LazyGeniusMan Is there any reason to not use Android Samba Client with the Android file manager (/storage framework)?

I tried browse the samba share using MiXplorer, librera is not show up in the app list when choosing app to open the epub file. I have to copy paste the epub to my local phone storage for it to show up.

@LazyGeniusMan I just tested with the Files APP (com.android.documentsui) and it works perfectly fine. And even the other way around, accessing a samba share from within librera works.
