[Enhancement] Add "Play URL" button in the list view. #694

In the Download tab there are the two buttons "Download" and "Delete" (see screenshot with red marked area). It would be great to have a third button there "Play URL", because most of the time I don't download the movies, instead I stream them. To stream the movies, I have to select "Play URL" from the right click context menu. Please add an option to MV to show a "Play URL" button directly in the list next to the other two buttons. (Users could also be able to customize which of the three buttons they want to appear there, all of them or only a custom selection.)

You can stream directly from film tab. Tab Downloads is primarily for downloading items therefore a play button doesnt make sense here and is in fact redundant functionality. Similar functionality is available via "Merkliste verwalten". There you don't store downloads but bookmarks to the film entries and you have option to either download or play the entry.

(The Merkliste is a different thing, but let's don't get into that discussion here.)

In the Download tab there is already a play button in the toolbar. When a film is downloaded, this button of course starts playing the movie file. But when a film is not yet downloaded, this button has no function and only produces an error message telling that the film is not yet downloaded. Maybe you could make this play button have a double functionality: If film is not downloaded then play/stream URL; if film is downloaded, then play file.
