Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Currently, video mp4 files are automatically converted to audio only when downloaded via RSS. I would like a checkbox to allow the file to be downloaded raw, without conversion.

Why would this be helpful?

There are video podcasts, for which it's useful to be able to see visual references, but have the controls of a podcast player, which allow downloading, playing in the background, and rewinding in short intervals. Currently solutions like emby and plex aren't great for this.

Additionally, videos from youtube or documentary channels are great to listen to, but occasionally have visual references. HealthyGamerGG is a good youtube example of this, where most is audio, but visual references are used occasionally.
