Description

  • I carefully read the contribution guidelines and agree to them.
  • I checked if the issue/feature exists in the latest version.

I would like to "subscribe" to certain topics (searches), e.g., "all videos that appeared during the last week with for the search word AppImage". I would like to be able to save such searches, and optionally have NewPipe download all videos that appear in this search, either in the background, or manually triggered ("download now"), like in a podcast client.

NewPipe could keep track of the video IDs I have already watched in order not to download already-watched and deleted videos.

Research direction
Investigate the existing search and download modules in NewPipe (e.g., search fragments, download service). Look at previous attempts or discussions in the comments. Determine if a persistent storage for saved searches and watched video IDs is feasible. Consider the UI for managing subscriptions and triggering downloads.
