File browser based media playing. #28

Open KimTheFirst opened 6 years ago

KimTheFirst commented 6 years ago

I would like to implement a file browser based player option, possibly by way of an integration with the native file browser. See also #9.

I imagine this working in the file browser by long pressing a folder or file and selecting play. (Possibly with two options "play now / add to existing playlist").

There seem to be a couple of obvious methods - firstly, I notice that the file browser has options for opening specific file types in a certain way so it does seem like there is a hook there. Maybe this could be attached to the music player's "add playlist" functions to compile playlists based on folder content.

The other option is to have a completely playlist-less "filesystem" mode within the music app itself. A folder is an album, and that's it.
