Network shares and DLNA servers.

New

  • DLNA servers: Menu → Add a DLNA server… finds the media servers
    on your network (NAS units, PCs, routers); added servers appear next to
    your folders. Their videos play like any other, with resume, watched
    marks and Recently played kept on the device (DLNA servers don't keep
    progress). Video info works too.
  • Guide for network shares (SMB): the install guide shows how to
    have SteamOS mount a NAS or PC share (once, in Desktop Mode, kept
    through SteamOS updates) and add it to the library.

Changed

  • Folders on a network share no longer freeze the app. Folders are
    read in the background: if a share is asleep or gone, the library says
    the folder is slow to answer and B goes back, instead of the whole app
    hanging. Shares mounted on the system (SMB, NFS) have their own icon on
    the start screen and a Network tag in Recently played.
  • A download_folder on a network share is no longer used (downloads
    are for this device, and a share that stopped answering could freeze
    them).
