Show Format File Size in the API

[deniscerri]

Describe the feature

The streams api endpoing is near perfect. It only misses the file size of the audio/video stream.

Why would this be useful to add?

My app YTDLnis is planning to use piped as an api for my youtube queries. It is a downloader app so its essential for the user to know how much space a certain format will take.

Concept(s)

Additional context

Currently im using invidious for my api queries but yours gives way more details. Its just this filesize missing. Please take this request into consideration

That's not possible without changes in the NewPipe Extractor.

Newpipe shows filesizes? Are they using a different component?

[Bnyro]

I think they either calculate it based on the file format or make a HEAD request to the file's URL to get the Content-Length header.
