Ideas & UI design for the coming new features

[JunkFood02]

As the upstream library introduced the function of stopping a specified process, we're now able to implement many new features like canceling download tasks, concurrent downloading, and even download queue management.

• Allow process destroying by specifying string id yausername/youtubedl-android#173

Obviously, we shouldn't rush to roll out all these features. I'll be working on the feature of canceling download tasks, but haven't got any good ideas for the UI yet. Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.

Edit: After the release of v1.0.5, the current focus of development is multitasking and download queue management. This could be a major update so please stay tuned for it

Or maybe we can just imitate the way we stop a playlist download 🤔

• About canceling the download operation UI.

Maybe you can make download button functionality change after hitting it so that it shows an ❌️ to cancel a running operation 🤔

Maybe a bit weird IMO. Also, according to the MD guidelines, the FABs cannot be used to represent a "destructive" action.

Looks great, what about a pause - resume button 🤔

yt-dlp wont let you "pause" a download I think. The icon and the behavior here could be modified dynamically, this button would have multiple operations due to the state of the task

But we can suspend (and resume) yt-dlp process like ctrl-z (^Z) in terminal.

But we can suspend (and resume) yt-dlp process like ctrl-z (^Z) in terminal.

We run python and yt-dlp in the Android Environment, without many basic components or commands (like shell or systemctl). So it would be hard to achieve this. Also, yt-dlp would leave the .part file in the target directory. You can resume a same download task with it.

Btw, yt-dlp resumes downloading from .part files by default (--continue flag is default)

Yes, so I think it's enough for resume a download after canceling it

Can it have features of spotiFlyer so that we don't have to use two different applications with different UI?
