[VLC Apple TV] Remote playback media grouping and multiple select

[sza]

I use the VLC on my desktop, iPhone and Apple TV. There is one functionality that is super useful on the iOS version, but not present on Apple TV - automatic media grouping for files uploaded via Wi-Fi (named weirdly and super incorrectly “Remote Playback”). On iOS, those files are automatically grouped into “folders” (probably looking at the same name part?), which is great for show episodes not cluttering main screen. While this auto grouping cannot be changed or executed again anytime later, it’s still very useful anyway. It would be great to have it on Apple TV.

In the same vein, removing multiple episodes from Remote Playback on Apple TV is very cumbersome. Multi select would be a very welcomed feature.

Pretty please with the sugar on top!

We have a GSoC contributor working on the features you asking for and hope to be able to merge his work later this year!
