NewPipe implement ability to ignore back-queue for main view

What is it?

[x] Feature (user facing)
[ ] Codebase improvement (dev facing)

Description of the changes in your PR

Add Setting (under history) to allow the main view to ignore the backstack of videos. Instead of going back to the last video, the player minimizes. This is NOT the default behavior, when no changes are made, the queue is still used.

Fixes the following issue(s)

Fixes #4479

APK testing

The APK can be found by going to the "Checks" tab below the title. On the left pane, click on "CI", scroll down to "artifacts" and click "app" to download the zip file which contains the debug APK of this PR.

no i think this good idea... i would like to go back through the queue using the back button, however by implementing your idea, i gain the ability to minimize the player after queue is completed which is the behavior i prefer at this point.

so yes I think both PRs should be implemented as everyone of them has its unique usages

Agree

This PR and #6895 should be merged into a single PR, since we don't want to create two different settings options for the same thing. @avently could you port the back-behavior from this PR into #6895?

The functionality in this PR is already available in #6895. It is basically a duplicate.

@Stypox yep, this functionality is already available in my PR, nothing to add

Can this be made default for Android TV?

Can this be made default for Android TV?

I guess DeviceUtils.isTv(activity) can be used to override the default value, for the videofragment that is simple. For the settings, i am not sure, i will have to look into the settings more precise, because currently the defaults are set by the layoutfile itself.

I made it default for tv's. However, displaying the correct state in the settings is really not that great, but i dont see any other way to do it.

@opusforlife2 @Stypox Any news on this? It's a rather simple PR and would add a highly requested feature.

Oct 16 '22 15:10 newhinton

@newhinton I like the idea. We need for someone to have the time to review this. Meanwhile, please fix any merge conflicts.

Oct 21 '22 22:10 opusforlife2

I have resolved the conflict.

This would be really useful for navigating TVs, do you have a debug apk?
