Import and Export
You can export medias from the player. Export can contain:
- just the manifest data (media meta information like title, original poster/media url etc, once imported back into the player, player will have to fetch poster/media from the original source website)
- just the medias (poster files, media files)
- both manifests and medias.
You can also make your export encrypted by password. To import it back again user will need your password.
Typical usage could be:
- export media files so you can use it elsewhere
- export manifest file, and share it with your friends. they can import it into their player and download the content themselves.
- export both as per your requirements
