Description

the killer feature for me (that isnt implemented yet) is youtube playlist support with offline

use case: open a youtube playlist url in playback. it should add all videos to the playlist. then it should immediately download all videos in the playlist so I can watch them offline

this would require a sort of 'downloads' folder I think for downloaded videos to go in to
