Network: Local Files - add support for multiple files queue

As I user when I want to play local files, I want to be able to

• Select single file to play without copying
• Select multiple files to play without copying
• Select Folder to play all it's contents without copying
• Set a local folder visible in Files.app other than VLC folder. (e.g Mobius Sync)

changed the description

changed milestone to %Future

added MediaLibrary user feedback labels

@fkuehne could you provide any pointers on where/how would you like this feature to be approached so that someone could try to pick it up ?

alternatively what would be a "reasonable bounty" to get this as a feature in the app ?

I'm not totally sure how this should be integrated. So far, VLC's media library lists the contents of the application context document folder only. On Android, we also support media outside that folder and I believe visually, it should behave the same on iOS. This needs a comparison.

Regarding bounties, I'm not sure what you are asking for. We generally do not pay contributors to work on VLC, if that is the question. If you want commercial support and ask someone to build this for you, I can forward you to a consulting company around VLC and VideoLAN.

mentioned in merge request !1270 (closed)

All requested changes are implemented except for the 4th item, which is not doable for now.
