As I said in the devloper chat box, in Riot. Since the convert function is dead, a downloaded function should be added to serve its purpose. This mode could use the same menu as the playback quality selector.(As seen in screenshot) to select transcoding quality. This means that no new menu has to be created.

Isn't it better to select quality on the app and transcode it server side? In the most scenarios you won't download the big raw file with your mobile devices. You only want to have the small file that is optimized for your device.
