Description

Expected behaviour

Would be cool to have a shortcut action to start audio/media playback with Siri or from a shortcut action.
It should be possible to set a media file path or folder path as a parameter.
This should be possible with SiriKit Media Intents.

Actual behaviour

Media can only be started within the app.

Client

iOS version:
iOS 13

ownCloud app version:
1.2.0

Research direction

Start by reviewing the iOS app's SiriKit Media Intents entry point and how media files are currently opened or played. Done means a Siri or Shortcut action can start playback using a configured media file or folder path, with the expected iOS 13 behavior verified.
