Scoped storage support? #156

Open GhostInTheSteiner opened 2 years ago

GhostInTheSteiner commented 2 years ago

I excuse myself for the rant in another issue here yesterday; I've seen this app is still in active development and works fine as long as we're targeting compileSdkLevel 29 (as has been in this library itself);

https://github.com/yausername/youtubedl-android/blob/a41cfdfc6952e8af13c424556292ea017f4a0706/app/build.gradle#L4

Now, as we all know technologies advance. Google's almost definitely going to shut down the legacy storage at some point, and if Android 13, 14, 15, ... comes around the corner and ONLY provides scoped storage this library is as good as useless.

So: Are there any plans to implement scoped storage support at some point? I feel kinda uneasy using legacy frameworks that might break in the next few years...

Hey, we do something in the dvd app where we download the video in app's internal directory and then copy it over to external storage. So I believe that app might work even if we change the compile and targetSdkVersion. But I haven't tested it.

I am doing the same for my application, that's the only option, if we don't use android's native download manager. It works perfectly well, I am downloading media to internal storage and moving the file to mediastore, another option is to use storage access framework.
