They cannot be processed or viewed yet, but they can be queued. (To be clear, the code to download and mux streams does exist, but nothing will call it using items from the queue yet) #348

Problem Description
Changing networks and being on the road can cause video playback to stutter or be inconsistent, but this isn't really the fault of FreeTube. Its just the nature of mobile networks. Videos can currently be downloaded through the web browser, but there is no way to download and mux dash formats. There is also no way to playback a playlist of downloaded videos (say for a roadtrip playlist or podcast).
Proposed Solution
Download Settings
Alternatives Considered
I've considered attempting to build a download manager which works with ffmpeg wasm, but that is significantly slower on platforms where alternatives are available, and additionally, I ran into problems storing large videos in memory for ffmpeg wasm. Ffmpeg wasm includes functions for downloading files which shouldn't cause the same memory issues I'm running into, but because of youtube's requirements for requesting their streams (range parameter instead of header, with 10mb chunks), ffmpeg wasm's download functions are slow and ineffective.
