Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I am using the Audiobookshelf Android app and noticed that there is currently no feature to auto-download entire podcast shows. Currently, I have to manually download each episode, which is time-consuming and not user-friendly. Other podcast apps, like AntennaPod, support this functionality, which greatly enhances the user experience.

Feature Request Details:

  1. The auto-download function should be available for all episodes of a podcast show, including future episodes as they become available.
  2. A download button should be present on the podcast show screen, similar to the download button for individual episodes. It would be beneficial to discuss how the "download future episodes" functionality could be integrated seamlessly.

Why would this be helpful?

I believe this feature would significantly improve the app's usability and bring it in line with other popular podcast apps. Thank you for considering this feature request!
