What problem does this address?

It would be great to add the ability for a user to enter a URL of an OPML and for Pocket Casts to import the podcast subscriptions.

Below is the user's suggestion.

it would be nice if they took a URL for importing an OPML file.

What is your proposed solution?

The "Import & export OPML" settings section could have another option to add by URL.

The option could be:
"By URL"
"Import your podcasts from an OPML file using a URL."

It might be best to follow a similar approach to the import from file code in OpmlImportTask.kt. The import by URL could download the content to the Android device and use the existing logic to parse the OPML file and subscribe to the podcasts.

Here is a URL that can be used for testing https://lists.pocketcasts.com/cdba0d8f-28ed-4654-bcb9-c65990f7399f.opml
