Describe the feature you want
I'm proposing a dedicated Watch Later playlist, with its own icon.
Currently, you'd have to make a playlist then add videos you want to save for later to that playlist. But there are two issues:
This playlist wouldn't have to behave any different than other playlists, except:
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it
The problem is that it takes too many steps to save videos, and is cumbersome if you are using a TV remote. YouTube, Spotify, DailyMotion, Plex, and many others, all have one-click watchlist capability. I'm also excluding streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video which don't do playlists, but have similar behaviors.
Additional context
I'm primarily a Google TV/Chromecast user, so I'm thinking about usability with a TV remote, but the suggestion does stand when used on a phone or a tablet.
How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?
Users will benefit because this will help NewPipe's UX align with other similar applications and services. I don't think anyone wants NewPipe to be a 1:1 clone of YouTube or another service, but basic features should be common and should operate the same way to reduce user friction.
