Describe the feature you want

I'd like to be able to download videos in bulk, whether it'd be in a playlist, or a checklist for a YouTube channel. It'd also be really good if it could add in prefixes automatically, so I wouldn't have to rename for VLC group them manually.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it

Additional context

How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

It'd make downloading videos much easier, which would encourage the usage of the feature.

I also really want to bulk download playlist . With the prefix playlist index/order no to filename.

+1, I would also very much like to see this implemented.

I propose a solution similar to how vlc handles lists. Similar to this:

We could then just put in the context menu to download or add to playlist.

@AbduAmeen I'd like to suggest a slightly different solution to fit more features.

Short press on thumbnail: Bulk selection menu
Short press on title bar: Open the video
Long press on thumbnail: Play on popup
Long press on title bar: Play on background

Remove the currently available long press menu for every single video. Long press menu is inaccessible in Android TV. If a user needs to work on a single video, he can just short press on that video thumbnail and access the bulk selection menu.

Bulk selection menu should be placed at the bottom so that more videos can be selected. Grey "Show channel details" (and other unavailable options just in case) out if multiple videos are selected. Place the options with icons in a grid so that they consume less space.

[AbduAmeen]

I don't think non-standard behavior is the best direction.

There's a few reasons for suggesting short press on thumbnail for bulk selection menu.

1. Users in Making audio streaming a first class citizen - Ideas for an "Audio Mode" UI #2610 ask for a dedicated audio mode. There's no direct or easy way to access a single video on background player.
2. MX player optionally lets the user to choose short press on thumbnail for bulk selection. So, it's not abnormal or uncommon at least.
3. There's no way to access long press menu on Android TV.
