Description

Checklist

I am using the latest version - Version 0.20.2 x.xx.x
I checked, but didn't find any duplicates (open OR closed) of this issue in the repo.
I have read the contribution guidelines given at https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/blob/HEAD/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md.
This issue contains only one bug. I will open one issue for every bug report I want to file.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Open playlist with multiple entries
Click on a video or long press a video and select 'start playing on pop-up' or long press and select 'start playing at background'
For the first two, the app only plays selected/clicked video. Whereas background playback enqueues whole playlist playing selected files.

Actual behaviour

Clicking on a video or 'Start on pop-up' only plays selected file 'Start on background' enqueues playlist and plays selected file

Expected behavior

All three playback methods should have the same behaviour. And since we are in a playlist it should follow the behaviour of 'Start playing in background', where selected file is played and the whole playlist is queued

Research direction: Examine the playback methods in NewPipe, focusing on the PlaybackManager and related classes. The issue describes inconsistency between clicking a video, playing on pop up, and background playback in a playlist. Look for how the playlist queue is handled in each case. The goal is to make all three methods enqueue the entire playlist while playing the selected video. Check the source files for media playback and playlist management to identify where the queue logic differs.
