Android - Launchbox ability to read from network share

[Zachary Huggins]

I know this is a known feature request, but I wanted to add support for the ability to access roms from a network share. The Nvidia Shield use case is amazing, and I’d like to replace my current Windows VM on a server to a Steam Box client (which is mediocre performance at best). Doing so via USB drive is a nice option, but actually creates a barrier and inconvenience.

Furthermore, I wanted to share this long term thinking: There are many that have a home server or NAS that runs dockers, etc. (I use Unraid). I would love to separate Launchbox as a server function, and then have the client separated and local to each TV (e.g. the Nvidia Shield). It would be great if the Android client could talk back to the server in this manner. I realize it may be seem like a fringe case, but I do think that Android support and the existence of a doable client is a game changer! Much great work to date, and potential ahead!
