Description

Describe your suggested feature

It would be very nice if users have the ability to use the app offline as a video player. By doing this, we can watch any of our videos downloaded on our phone. For example, this is very handy if you download a movie on cloudstream; then let's say you accidently deleted the app. Now after reinstalling the app, when clicked on downloads tab, the movie previously downloaded isn't recognized by the app and now ur left with using third party video player that's filled with ads

Other details

Please add this feature. I know vlc is an option but not all videos work in that app and it's always too buggy when compared to this app. Please and thank you

Research direction

Start at the downloads tab and trace how downloaded videos are discovered and identified after the app is reinstalled. Compare the existing download state with videos present on the device; done means previously downloaded videos are recognized in the tab and can be played from the app.
