Affected version
0.23.3
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Turn off "Resume Playback" in Setting (Do not remember playback position).
- Load a playlist into the background queue.
- Before the current song/video has finished playing, use the Queue View to select a different song/video.
- Navigate back to the previous song/video via direct selection/Queue View.
Expected behavior
The song/video should start playing from the beginning.
Actual behavior
The video begins playing at the timestamp where it was before (resumes playback).
I manually selected by tapping, from "Clattanoia" at 0:39 to "Aliez" and then back to "Clattanoia" and you can see that it resumed the playback position. It should've reset to the beginning of the song.
Screenshots/Screen recordings

Additional information
This issue doesn't occur if you use the navigation buttons (Previous/Next), only from direct selection/manual navigation.
I despise reporting issues on mobile. The screenshots are out of order.
Necro bump. Haven't seen any responses.
As the Channel Tabs update has further broken old NewPipe (legacy 0.19.x). I am necro'ing this as this is a critical bug for me to use this as a music player, especially while driving or other limited interaction usage times.
Necrobump.
Uber necro?
Hello, I'd like to ask for an update on this, thanks.
The app is on a feature freeze pending a rewrite. So don't expect anything to happen in the short or even medium term.
