Describe the feature you want
I want support for the Youku Chinese video streaming service. It already supports downloading, so that might be easy to download from.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it
Even knowing Chinese, the Youku app is a mess and I prefer newpipes ui.
Additional context
(I changed the icons in the menu to fit Youku's colorful look.)
Mockup
How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?
Who knows, people interested in Chinese stuff or Chinese people might get newpipe.

Investigate how support for other streaming services is organized and what Youku support would require; done means Youku content can be extracted reliably through the library.
