Storage Access Framework

[DarremMolko]

Hi, I really love your video player. I noticed that it doesn't currently support accessing files stored in Document Providers. I was wondering if you would consider adding support for the Storage Access Framework to your app so users can easily access files from their preferred cloud storage providers. It would be a great addition to your already amazing app. Thanks!

@anilbeesetti Hi, and sorry for the ping. I just tried a debug build with this commit e8d062a and it works perfectly, but I noticed when I select the same video again it doesn't preserve the playback position, it starts from the beginning. Also how feasible is it to have a Resume fab to resume the last played media? Or maybe this is something unrelated and I should open a different issue.

Currently Next Player only preserve playback position of local media files. I will add remember playback position for other media in the future

@anilbeesetti I investigated some more about this and I found we could mount and access entire directories, in fact mpv-android let's you do exactly that. It could be a Fab in the main screen like the current file picker or a setting in the "Media library" settings.
Here is the documentation:

By the way, congratulations for publishing the app to the Play Store, I gave you 5 stars.

@anilbeesetti sorry for the ping but I noticed you closed this as completed but the player still doesn't remember the video playback position for videos opened through SAF.
