This adds a completely new media download manager that can download videos in different formats using different engines.
Using
AVAssetDownloadURLSession, the app is now able to download the HLS variant for videos that offer it (most recent videos do).With the new "Download videos with subtitles" option enabled in the app's settings, the app will download the HLS variant, which includes subtitles.
This variant has a couple of downsides when compared to the traditional HD mp4 variant, so it's disabled by default.
Downsides include slower seek performance and the inability to export clips, however offline playback works just fine and with the advantage that subtitles are included with the offline video.
