Downloaded Media Manager

[TheDreadPirate]

Not a replacement, but an alternative. It has zero admin functions in it. Which is fine for end users. Also, Findroid only does video, no music. But there are dedicated music apps, like Finamp (FOSS) and Symfonium (paid). Both have download managers and offline modes.

Also, AFAIK, Findroid never requests a transcode. When using MPV this shouldn't be a problem for most codecs as Findroid will use CPU decoding if the hardware doesn't support accelerated decoding. But be aware that there are edge cases (DV7.6) and CPU decoding uses more battery.
