Feature description

The idea is to have a setting to switch between watching only the clicked on video or to start playing the Playlist from there when clicking on videos in a Playlist and maybe add the other to the context menu.

Why do you want this feature?

Currently if you click on a video in a Playlist only that video gets played. This differs from YouTubes behavior of starting the Playlist from the selected video. It is rather annoying when watching multi part content or skipping the first already watched videos of a Playlist. You have to either enqueue every video manually or skip after you clicked on play all.

@RedIODev A workaround for now is to initially "Start playing in background", then click play on the current video to swap play to foreground. I've got used to doing this, although its not the most elegant solution.

So it's even further implemented than I thought. This should probably be only a dozen lines of code for everything. I don't have any time to work on this rn though. But if this is still open when I have time again I will just patch it myself.
