I would love to see this, too. I was really surprised that you can't just pick a video in, say, the middle of a playlist and have it just queue the following videos automatically.
@litetex You may close #3362, #7229, #3815, #6999, #7464, #5741, #5586 and #4843.
@SameenAhnaf The following issues are in my opinion standalone as they are open for different topics:
Okay I've changed to UI to have the "Enqueue" button and I now have a popup that allows selection of the method. However, I am having a lot of trouble integrating the selection of videos for 3,4,5,6. I have no idea what 2 does. @SameenAhnaf is this generally what you had in mind, though?
I"m extremely sorry for vague description. Actually, these options work on the basis of selecting a video at first.
Also, these options will be remembered separately for each channel and playlist. By default, None
and All
will be option for unopened channel and playlist. However, default option for unopened channel or playlist will change according to last played channel or playlist respectively.
I see. I was going too quit on this issue because I had no idea how to integrate the a new list for the selection of the video, but instead I can just add it to the LongClick menu.
Does that work for you?
oops
Here you go
I don't think, it should be integrated into long click menu. Introducing 7 new options into the same menu would be an overkill. It already has a long list of options. Moreover, this state will be remembered for each channel and playlist separately. So, this info is not directly to the selected video only.

@ #8252 I really want this feature.
Might be good to break this down into two checkpoints: one for the functionality of changing the default behavior to "play playlist starting from selection" instead of "play single item", and one for the kinds of variations in the menu. The first one is expected behavior and it's jarring when it doesn't behave that way. Even after years of using the app I still find myself accidentally loading single songs instead of loading the playlist, which is what I want 95% of the time. The other features are not something I've seen in other apps, so I feel it has a different urgency level. It also has more unknown complexity with how it might affect the usability of the menu, whereas implementation of the first feature seems pretty clear. So I think it's worth splitting these apart.
Yesterday I asked the developers of Grayjay to implement 'play from here' as I want it. Today a rough but serviceable version has been deployed.
It's not perfect, but I fully expect it to improve pretty rapidly.
Anyway, if this is functionality you really want and being an early adopter for responsive developers doesn't put you off, might be worth a few minutes checking out Grayjay.
Checklist
Describe the feature you want
"Play all" button only lets user to play all videos from the beginning. Sometimes, we play another video from the playlist. Still, we need to enqueue the whole or certain videos of the playlist. Following enqeue methods can be added to solve this issue.

Additional context
How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?
It will let us enqeue only a selected number of videos as we wish. Sometimes, we want to finish watching a playlist part by part. This option will let us fo that.
