This should be content-aware and have some sort of library functionality. This may be useful to separate movies/shows from more educational content and assign different availability rules to each.

Additionally, shepherdd should be responsible for determining how to launch the content. On Linux, this may mean running mpv for local content and the streaming services it supports, and using a Web browser (#10) or Android app (#2) for subscription-based streaming services or other DRM-encumbered purchased content.

Honestly, this is probably best implemented as a separate application that shepherd-launcher calls (though this is likely going to be such a common use case that we want the binary shipped with shepherd-launcher)
