Steps to reproduce the bug

I think my non IT friend describe it perfectly in plain english>

1. If you pick a good song/video to start in playlist (NOT PRESSING play all button)
2. The next song it queue is not from your playlist anymore.It just throw random bull shit to you.
3. Sometimes newpipe throw me reaction music video in the random next queue.

Expected behavior

Add a button to switch between stay in playlist loop/ stay in playlist random /let the youtube algorithm cook

Pseudocode for mantainers

switch(UserChosenMode)
1. " stay in playlist loop">it continues to behave like current newpipe "play all" logic
2. "stay in playlist random">the user can pick a video but the next will always from the playlist randomly (EXPECTED NEW FEATURE)
3. "let the youtube algorithm cook" >it continues to behave like current newpipe (aka. pick 1 video then auto play Youtube suggested logic)

Actual behavior

1. If you pick a good song/video to start in playlist
2. The next song it queue is not from your playlist anymore.It just throw random bull shit to you.
3. Sometimes newpipe throw me reaction music video in the random next queue.

If you play a stream from a playlist, it will play only that stream in the queue.

Other streams are only played after that if you have enabled auto-play, otherwise the stream will end once it gets to the end of the queue.

This is intended behaviour.

Likewise, if you enable autoplay, it will queue the next stream provided by autoplay. It doesn't make sense to queue a random item from the playlist that the stream is from. If you want random items from the playlist, then just use shuffle.

Either you only want to play one song, or you want to play more than one song. If you want to play more than one song, then long press and select "Start playing in background", and it will play from that song but it will load the rest of the playlist, then you can Switch to Main.

As far as I know, currently the UI doesn't have functionality to play the whole playlist from the selected item without doing "Start playing in background". You have to play in background first and then switch to Main or Popup.

I think it would make more sense, when

• we are in a playlist and
• we choose one video

then

• add the entire playlist to the play queue (even the previous videos)
• play the video we have chosen.

(this would unlock several abilities, such as << and >> buttons, go back to the play queue, etc).
