Describe the feature you want

I would appreciate support for background and audio-only features with PeerTube.
Since 0.18.0, PeerTube supports audio-only streams and their download is available since April 17, 2020.
Would it be possible to provide support similar to (but better than) the background play with YouTube?

  • replace 0p by audio-only for clarity
  • if the audio-only format is available, background would use this file
  • if only videos are available, background would work like in the YouTube backend.

You can test audio-only on any local video in meta-tube.de

Disclaimer

I could not fully check whether the app already supports the audio-only download since trying to download on PeerTube crashes my app (0.19.3 on Lineage 16).

How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

Like everyone using the background on PeerTube, it lets me do other stuff in the meantime, saves battery and planet; knowing that the background can use the audio-only file if available would make me feel good because it uses less data and CPU and would be better for the planet + smarter than Youtube :D

For videos on which audio streams are available (and make the app crash right now), they will be successfully extracted with TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#663.

But there are still a lot of videos without audio streams available.
