Description

Suggestion:
We want to have a queue of items to play in the Nextcloud Media Player to provide further functions that are currently missing.

  • Shuffle
  • Repeat
  • Next file automatically played so a playlist consisting of media (audio/video) has to be created and non-media files in a folder are excluded automatically from such a list.
  • Playlist items view
  • Media Player Notification controls when app is minimised improvements (skip to next, to previous)

A good example can be found in the HiDrive application.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first map the existing iOS media-player flow and its playlist-related behavior. Define the queue, filtering, shuffle, repeat, automatic playback, playlist view, and notification-control requirements, then validate each requested behavior on iOS.
