Description
### What's the Problem?
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) currently does not work
While the server appears on the network tab it won't open no matter how much you click
The way dlna works on explorer right now are that once you open a file it temporarily copies it to your system and then plays it with the default player. I'm not sure if it's possible to stream that data or if the files app should implement support to ask media players to stream directly instead
### Steps to reproduce
### Requirements
Allow entering to DLNA server directory and going though directories
Show thumbnails for directories that have it
Appear in home tab as normal explorer does or have an option to make it show up there
Allow making shortcuts to desktop
