Lot of thanks for creating the awesome VLC app for iOS! I've been using it to play videos on iPad during long flight so I can stop using the awful inflight entertainment system!
I have a feature request: could you please make the VLC app download video files directly from local SMB shares? Please let me explain the use case scenario:
Currently the way I get video files downloaded to the VLC app is thru the built-in file server: dropping video files in the browser window on my laptop. However since the files are located on my NAS device via SMB, effectively my laptop is relaying the video files to the iPad. My laptop and iPad both connect via Wi-Fi, the NAS->Laptop->iPad roundabout basically cuts the Wi-Fi throughput in halves. Not to mention the instability of the built-in file server causes transfers to halt midway and the iPad must be kept awake all the time.
It would be a great improvement if VLC app can directly download video files from SMB in the the Local Network section, either by drag-n-drop or enter into a selection mode to tap and choose target files to download. Then the download will be from NAS->iPad without involving another computer!
