Description

UPnP and DLNA/SMB are network directories shared via router and/or computer. The files are saved locally on the host computer (for DLNA) or USB external storage (for UPNP). It would be great if the app can as well support using these. I have tried using the app for DLNA/SMB but it only returns exception if added the directory anonymously.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the anonymous DLNA/SMB directory failure described in the issue and trace how the Android app handles network directories. Define the required UPnP and DLNA behavior, including local and USB-backed shares, then verify that those directories can be added and browsed without the reported exception.
