Description

Work in Progress ticket

Specifically for tvOS which has limited storage and no UIDocumentPicker

Requirements:

  • Expand PVFile to support lazy-loading of remote files
  • Temporary caching of files locally (requires whole file on disk most likely)
  • Should warn on large file copies, cancelable etc
  • Maybe use FileProvider ... more to fill in.

Maybe see what VLC and other projects do
