New action, "Play Folder"

[GeekyEggo]

Purpose

This issue aims to centralize the discussion of adding a new action that allows users to play audio from a folder.

Overview

It should be possible, from a new action, to select a folder, and then play audio from that folder when pressing the action. The action should provide a lot of the functionality seen within the existing "Play Audio" action, i.e. device selection and playback action.

Options

• Playback Device
  • Should include "Default" and "Default (Communications)"
  • Show list all other playback devices.
• Folder
  • The folder that contains the audio files.
• Files
  • All(default)
  • First (fulfils Play first file in folder #38)
  • Last
• Order
  • Date created
  • Date modified
  • File name (default)
  • Random
  • Title (ID3 tag)
  • Track Order (ID3 tag)
• Action
  • Play / Next (default)
  • Play / Stop
  • Play All / Stop ¹
  • Loop / Stop
  • Loop All / Stop ¹
  • Loop All / Stop (Reset) ¹

¹ Only available when the files selection is "All"

Requirements

• The action must be able to play audio similar to the "Play Audio" action.
• The action must automatically detect file changes for the selected folder.
• The action must support the following file formats
  • MP3, *.mp3, *.mpga
  • OGG, *.oga, *.ogg, *.opus
  • WAV, *.wav
