Enqueueing videos from browser or youtube app resets the existing queue

Checklist

• I am using the latest version - 0.20.3
• I checked, but didn't find any duplicates (open OR closed) of this issue in the repo.
• I have read the contribution guidelines given at https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/blob/HEAD/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md.
• This issue contains only one bug. I will open one issue for every bug report I want to file.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1 - Download and install v0.20.3
2 - Long press on some video on youtube app or browser or use share buttons
3 - Select open in external app
4 - Select newpipe from menu
5 - Video starts playing (in my setup, all videos are forced to play in the background by default)
6 - Repeat the steps 2 - 5 and the newly selected video takes over the existing queue and the player

Actual behaviour

Enqueueing videous from browser or youtube app takes over the queue by resetting it to only the newly enqueued video. Even if there's a video already playing, the enqueued video takes over the player and the previous ones are discarded from the queue. No error or crash report is displayed. Open in newpipe popup does not contain enqueue option when the video is opened using "share button" on youtube web page or youtube app.

Expected behavior

Prior versions allowed user to enqueue videos from browser or youtube app, extending the queue and they would play on their turn, without taking over the player. They did not contain enqueue option either, but pressing "play in the background" would automatically enqueue the video by default, without disturbing the existing video play.

On 20.3, not yet updated to 20.4,
this also occurs when sharing to pop-up player.

Previous versions would queue shared video, if you are watching something already; however, now it stops playing the cirrent pop-up video and plays recently shared video instead

When I open a video using share button on YouTube web page or YouTube app then if I press back button when NewPipe isn't in background apps it is opening YouTube app.

When Newpipe is in background apps back button is opening Newpipe homepage.

Why not open NewPipe homepage when back button is pressed when Newpipe isn't in background apps?
I don't know whether my issue comes under this issue or not, but I'm commenting my issue on this issue because my issue also happens when I open a video using share button on YouTube web page or YouTube app.

This is expected. Just open video info and then long press on background/popup to achieve enqueueing.

@Stypox the issue appears in the following case

when open the link from Youtube > open with NewPipe -> it can NOT be enqueued, -> instead it just replaces the current video playing in NewPipe

Can the ticket be re-opened?

[Stypox]

Just press on "Show info" and then you can enqueue (by looking at this video: #4946 (comment))

If the chooser menu does not show up you need to set it to "Always ask" in the settings

@Stypox

I always share from youtube to newpipe and choose pop-up player to play videos. In older versions of newpipe this enqueued the item automatically. Now I don't see a way to achieve the same behavior as in the old version. I also don't see a "show info" in the newpipe sharing dialogue.

[Stypox]

I also don't see a "show info" in the newpipe sharing dialogue.

This only happens when there is nothing playing: in such case the "play" item is shown and "play in the background" just plays the single item in the background (without replacing any queue since there is nothing playing). On the other hand, if something's already playing, the "show info" item is shown, allowing to do what I explained above.
If you never see "show info", even when something's playing, then please post a screenshot with some way to reproduce consistently.
