Description
Hi, when i plug my external HDD i can view and watch movies and TV shows Via VLC player, but when i try to view mu files Via materialfiles it doesn't automatically see the HDD, and when i press add external storage button it displays an error similar to this: no app found for this action etc.
I think VLC uses its own file/folder picker, but materialfiles rely on the OSs app. Which can't be found on my TV. Can you suggest me a way to use your software on my PC.

Research direction
Reproduce the external HDD workflow on a 2013 Sony Bravia TV, comparing VLC's file picker with MaterialFiles' external storage action. Trace why the OS cannot find an app for that action; the issue is complete when the storage can be opened in MaterialFiles or a supported limitation and workaround are documented.
