Allow to play file from file explorer even when we include/exclude some folders

[popogomo]

Description

The app allows to Include or Exclude some folders.

For example, let's Include Music folder. The app will display all files from the Music folder only which is good.

However, let's now try to navigate to File Explorer and open any music file (for example, from Downloaded folder as we download something there). The app will fail to open and play it. It will only play it if we remove Music folder from Include list (that is - not include any folder).

My request is to allow the player to open files from File Explorer and play them regardless of Include / Exclude settings in the player. In this case, we can still have our selected music files in the player (as per Include/Exclude list) and also tap to play any music file from the File Explorer.

Other music apps have this feature working, for example, Retro Music Player.

This is not possible currently. Auxio cannot be aware of songs that it has not loaded, which includes songs excluded, as the entire context of the music library is required to show the correct information for the song.
