Hello,
I'd like to make a suggestion.
I use a NAS to store my video files, shared via SMB, apart from the S/PDIF pass through issue it works fine.
Only inconvenience is to go to all the sub folder until I am in my shared files folder.
I'd like to see a favorites list, where I cannot only ad my NAS so I don't have to "find" it in the local network, but also be able to add NAS+sub folder location. E.g. "NAS-first-level-folder/User/Shared/" so in case I select that favorite VLC will try to connect to that NAS, my ask me for the login data which are saved and jumps to the folder I had saved without me having to navigate to it manually.
