• I have read the FAQ and my problem isn't listed.
• I'm aware that this is a request for NewPipe itself and that requests for adding a new service need to be made at NewPipeExtractor.
• I have taken the time to fill in all the required details. I understand that the feature request will be dismissed otherwise.

Feature description

Currently:

• the newpipe app can only load in the playing queue, the items of the playlist it has already fetched so far while triggering the enqueue all button
• this is similar to how linux application package managers work: they load the app details from repository, then operate on those app details

the request is:

• to be able to load the playlist itself in the player, and
• player-related logic to then dynamically fetch the next video to be played

this is similar to how:

• the auto-queuing / "auto-play next video" should work,
  though newppipe v0.27 was not auto-queuing any video what-so-ever at all. but this is a different issue.
• the playlists playing works on youtube web (on both the mobile & desktop)

Why do you want this feature?

• i often curate videos in playlists with my yt account on desktop web.
• i open those playlists on second device (mobile) to:
  • confirm if the video added is suitable for the playlist or not; and
  • if yes, then at what position should it be placed

currently due to lack of this feature, and also of the very basic one linked below from 2022, one can't use newpipe for this purpose:

• Allow to manually refresh remote playlist contents #8975

alternates considered

technically, the behaviour whole user experience of server playlist should match exactly that of youtube web playlist i.e.:

• 1. playlist info can be refreshed: Allow to manually refresh remote playlist contents #8975
• 2. enqueuing the playlist loads all the videos of playlist: [FUNCTIONALITY EXISTS]
• 3. the playing queue becomes tied only to that playlist for the session
  • a. playing next / previous updates the whole playlist: including those behind the current played video.
  • b. no video can be added / removed / reordered in the playing queue ad-hoc. modify the playlist to accomplish this.

but this 3rd point seems like a big-ish thing to implement.

so, meanwhile: being able to auto-enqueue / auto-play next will atleast fill the gap of requiring to update the immediate next item from the playlist to the playing queue.

Additional information

duplicate issue search:

• load playlist label:"feature request"

this request also seems to be aimed at addressing the same underlying pain point, though with a different and incomplete solution:

• Playing an item from a playlist should load the whole playlist instead of just the item. #10132
