Download feature doesn't appear to work

[kkasberg]

I attempted to download a movie for local playback, but I cannot determine how to know when it is downloaded, or where to play if from.

The download option should be removed in the latest update until we can get it working properly.

While im no dev, an app I used for my plex music called "prism" used apples new files app to store downloaded music, maybe that's a way you could implement downloads.

It looks like we could enable some options to allow other apps to access the downloaded files. Additionally we may be able to use showShareActionSheetWithOptions to open an action sheet to open the downloads in another app. I will see if I can get it working after 1.2.0 is out.

Great, I hope it works out!

An option to enable an experimental download feature has been added under the developer menu but that has not been released yet. Further improvements to that feature are tracked in #372.
