Display datasize estimate for chosen stream

[utack]

Hi Newpipe team,
could you please consider adding a size estimate of the chosen stream in the dropdown menu where the resolution is selected?
It would really be helpful to estimate how much data a certain video and resolution will use.
Maybe related to #779
Thank you for consideration!

Sure we can. We had to do a HEAD request in order to find out about the file size. Sounds like a good idea.

While this is a good idea, wouldn't it increase data usage and video loading time?

@mauriciocolli Can this size preview now be added to the resolution selector in the toolbar?

@Stypox Not necessarily. The HEAD request could be fired off when the user opens the drop down menu, for example. In fact, if either the toolbar menu or the download menu is opened first, the options in both menus could be populated with the sizes, halving the work in case the user opens the other menu as well.

You shouldn't need to make any additional requests to display content size. YouTube provides clen as part of the download URL. So for example:

https://r5---sn-ab5szn7e.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?clen=2092121&...

will have size 2.09MB.

IIRC it's also provided as part of the stream metadata as clen or contentLength.

Is this still being considered?
