Feature description

As i understand apps have control over what to propose as fast actions on long-press over app's own icon.(for example Telegram proposes to create new chat when its icon long-pressed) My proposition is to have "Clear NewPipe Cache" as app's long-press action.

Why do you want this feature?

Quite often problems with not being able to play paused videos can be solved by mere clear cache, but each time it's a bothersome chain of action to actually get to clearing cache. I found numerous issues(like these #8627 #8583 #8294) about people not being able to play video which they paused some hours/days ago - have same bug sometimes, and as i can't track the reason, but found at least some kind of "solution", i hope devs can provide easier way to use it.

Hello @rey0n what about clearing the cache right after the close(Destroy) of app , as there is no need to clear the cache manully ? Any Comments

The thing is app could be not closed = like say hanging in memory for half day with paused video(just like all those issues with corrupted videos after long paused). So clear cache on app exit is useful, but doesn't resolve my main request - easier way to get to clear cache of app: instead of long digging in system dialogues to get to app's settings and cache clear, just fast action button for tat.

This issue #9009 kinda corresponds to my suggestion and may be another possible way.

That was some strange mistake, as real addition to message showed proper similar topic. Still, i edited the message text too.
