M3U / XML from local docker path

Would it be helpful to enable mapping a local path to M3U and XML files directly in the UI?

I tried using /localpath/data:data/, but entering the path into StreamMaster doesn’t seem to detect the M3U/XML files. Has anyone else tried this, or is there a different way to achieve it?

I'd probably place the M3U/XML in the /config directory that StreamMaster watches. So in /config/PlayLists/M3U and /config/PlayLists/EPG. So for your binding, /localpath/data/my.m3u:/config/PlayLists/M3U/my.m3u

Though I don't see why it shouldn't be able to resolve different kinds of URLs like a local file path. It might not work currently, but would make sense to support it I think.

When I first spun-up StreamMaster, it was really confusing how to add the files I just assumed it worked a certain way—but it didn’t. For now, I’m just using a subfolder on my web server, but since the M3U and XML files are regenerated by a script, a mapped location would actually be a better solution in this case.
