Add file action sheet: Add option to Import from URL
🗣 Context
Import from URL would be a nice feature.
Edit by @pichfl
We currently have a menu that allows you to add files or create playlists and contains a message informing users about AirPlay.
We could add a new menu option "Import from URL" which opens an alert with an input field for a URL (and potentially basic validation insuring only URLS are put into the field) which then triggers the same interaction we have when the bookplayer://download?url= scheme is triggered.
Which is why it is already in the app: https://github.com/TortugaPower/BookPlayer/wiki/URL-scheme
Reopening as I just realized that this can be extended to allowing URL input from inside the app, next to files and AirDrop.
Exactly. I have .zip files that I purchased at a URL. They contain lots of .m3b files. Import from URL (copy, paste) inside the app would be awesome !
That would be fantastic -- as a new user this is the thing I'm struggling with the most, how to get books efficiently from my web-based calibre system (calibre-web project which supports m4b files) into bookplayer; I am going to try to figure out how to add the bookplayer urls to the project somehow but in the mean time I was hoping to at least have some way that I could -- in the app -- say "download url" and paste the link in. I know that might not be intuitive for some, but it would make things possible which aren't currently as far as I can tell.
I wish I was familiar enough with Swift to help with this myself -- I could test and refine, but I am not sufficiently familiar with things to help much short term
