Feature request: Possible to add streaming of video files but only audio?

Hi, I'm wondering if it's feasible and possible to add an option to select video libraries and stream just their audio part?

I'd like this too. I have some music videos and would rather not create audio-only duplicate files of them, as when I'm listening to a Playlist I have a mix of audio songs and a few music videos. You'd have to favorite both the music video and audio song of the same thing, for example, for your library to be consistent. Currently though, streaming audio only of video files I think has worked a few times in the past when online, but doesn't work when offline. Additionally, it doesn't allow me to play a Playlist with a mix of audio and video files at all.

Online support for playing music videos is mostly there, but the library in Jellyfin needs to be of type "Music Videos" for it to work. Offline mode / downloading support depends on #215 / #496 to only download the actual audio and not the whole file.
I'm not sure about the issues with playlist and don't have the capacity to look into it myself right now 😅
