            Bug ID: 410578
           Summary: Amarok fails to see, browse or play music on shared
                    Network drive
           Product: amarok
           Version: 2.9.0
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Collections/UPnP
          Assignee: amarok-bugs-dist@kde.org

  Target Milestone: kf5

Amarok fails to see, browse or play music stored in share on shared NAS drive
attached to Wifi router.

Music is set up for UPNP (if required for any solution). 
Music files (mp3) are visible in Dolphin and can be played from the file
manager OK.
Amarok Version 2.9.0 Plugin: UPnP Collection 1.0 activated
No UPNP device appears in Local Music
Possibly some UPNP application is missing from the install?. But UPNP is not a
fixed requirement. Just a possible alternative solution.

SOLUTION SUGGESTION
Amarok Home/Files file browser can see Network shares. And can play them as
local files.

SOLUTION SUGGESTION ALTERNATIVE
User can mount (permanently) the share in an easy way. Today there is no mount
GUI for non IT level users.

EXPECTATION
New user should be able to play music stored on a NAS without needing the
command line or cryptic tricks. Any configuration needed must be discoverable,
via settings or with minimal help. If additional software is required this must
be in Discover and mentioned in the Help document.

TEST STEPS
1) Give a new user a new install of KDE Neon. 
2) User should be able play the music without specialised knowledge using the
GUI only.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Neon 5.16 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4.
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.60
Qt Version: 5.0.0-23-generic
