Currently our media apps are only able to play files in local storage, but it's not the common use case on TV. Jim is right, supporting streaming data and files within local network (or on a cloud storage!) is more valuable on TV. We have an experimental DLNA player in tv_apps folder that prove we can play music files on other devices and even ask another device to play the music. This is the experience we could to explore more. Therefore, media apps should be able to support multiple sources, be ready to accept any file source from network, and manage connections. We had a discussion in the work week and I feel it's media app's next step. > > Thanks for pointing that bug out.
