Feature description

Auto-save current queue internally to survive a crash or an app restart.

Why do you want this feature?

Newpipe crashes much too often during GUI interaction, either due to device rotation or high memory consumption.

Additional information

Android 9, Newpipe 0.27.5 and older

Onus of checking for duplicates lies on the issue creator read this comment to find why.

I searched for "is:issue automatic save queue" as more of a feature for comfortness if something goes wrong with the playing device, caused by either app (happens more often especially when rotating and playing in a popup) or other device problems like memory consumption or battery issues.
At the moment saving the current queue is cumbersome, so IMHO auto-saving the current queue would be a helpful and sensible feature.

@ShareASmile When we close as duplicate we are supposed to link to the duplicate issue. We want to make things easier for people.
I for one searched for "save queue", and I cannot find any open issue that is about this, and I looked at all the 19 issues that showed up in the results.

I was not able to find a duplicate issue.

I also seemed to have misplaced the motivation to contribute to this project after this encounter; perhaps @ShareASmile could use some of his own sweet time to help me find it again?
