Research direction

Start by reading the project’s audio playback and slideshow entry points; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Identify how the app handles external media sources, then define supported source behavior for SMB, web radio, and YouTube. Done means audio can play during a slideshow from the agreed supported sources; YouTube support is explicitly conditional on feasibility.

Description

Add a built-in audio player that supports streaming from external and network sources:
SMB shares: Stream local audio files (.mp3, .flac, .aac) directly from network paths.
Web radio: Play live streams via direct URLs (Icecast, Shoutcast, HLS, m3u).
YouTube: Support audio playback from YouTube links (if feasible).

Use Case

Play the music during a slideshow
