Support WebDav as music provider

[ronaldvandervegt]

I'm using Nextcloud as my file storage, including media.
Nextcloud has the possibity to access files using WebDav.

Can we in general get Webdav support?

This post https://community.home-assistant.io/t/music-assistant-2-0-your-music-your-players/727626/564 advises that Nextcloud supports the Subsonic API which you can use with MA

Have we gotten any updates on this yet?

No sorry. Work continues on removing the final bugs for a 2.0 release. Then enhancements can be started. The existing music provider poll will guide development effort unless a new dev wants to work in something in particular

I would also love to have support for Support WebDav as music provider. I'm using pcloud (the only cloud with a lifetime price / no subscription) and it supports WebDav. Ideally pcloud support would be even better (it has a music player embedded)

Webdav is transversal which is why we need it, it's supported by :
Cloud storage services: Nextcloud, ownCloud, Box, pCloud, Yandex.Disk, Koofr, Seafile, Mail.ru Cloud, 4shared, DriveHQ, MEGA
Operating systems: Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android
Web servers: Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS, Nginx (with modules)
File managers: Windows Explorer, Finder (macOS), many third-party file managers

I suggested looking at an rclone based music provider in another feature request for a general clouad storage solution here: https://github.com/orgs/music-assistant/discussions/4470#discussioncomment-15390548

Rclone also support WebDav, so if it is a possibility to use make a rclone based music provider, then WebDav should be supported automatically by that.

WebDAV support will be available in 2.9.0 beta 2
