[Feature request] "Offline mode" like in the Netflix app

[xerhaxs]

I find it a bit inconvenient that you can download a video, but then have to open them externally via the file browser.

Therefore, I have the suggestion that - in addition to the normal download - you can also download a video directly from the view "Subscriptions" and "Playlists" to watch offline.
Should one now be offline, one can watch this downloaded video directly from the Freetube app.
Similar to the function of the Netflix app, where you can also simply download a series / movie and watch it directly from the app.

This would be very practical, for example, if you are traveling and therefore have no Internet (e. g. a flight) and you can quickly and easily download the videos on your laptop beforehand and watch the video without much searching in the download folder.

I believe @xerhaxs is suggesting being able to use FT as an offline video player for FT-downloaded (?) videos.

So, first of all, please use the template for issues instead of deleting it.
Secondly @jasonhenriquez is right here, the second part refers to a new request.

I am not too sure how feasible that is atm tho. We would have to overhaul a playback parts which is probably a lot of work and requires even more testing to verify nothing becomes broken along the way.

For the moment just download the video and play it via a normal video player
