UPnP folder as favorite

Description

Currently, UPnP folders cannot be added as favorites. Is this a technical limitation?

App mode

TV

There is no reason why you can't do that.

@chouquette are UPnP paths/IDs stable enough for that?

Most likely it depends on how you accessed a folder (ie. if you access a folder Foo through Music/Genres/Pop/Foo its MRL will be different than when you access it through Music/All Music/Foo, or at least this is my understanding)

That does not matter; the question is: if you go to the same URL later, will it give you the same content?

It will, but I think it's important to mention that a single folder might have multiple MRLs, and that if you store information about those in the medialib, you'll get multiple records, 1 per MRL.

Favorite is not about MediaLibrary, but on display.

And yes, single folder might have multiple MRL, but one MRL should always give you the same one.

This ugly workaround seems to work

Can you share a patch?

Done: https://github.com/videolan/vlc-android/pull/75 However, I don't know if my code is the best way

Please do the Merge Request here, and not on github.

Also, it should be on both TV and on normal.
