Describe the feature you want

Thanks for this great app (v0.20.8)
I have some suggestions to make the Andoid TV UI better, this because the current NewPipe UI is optimized for smartphone/tablet use and not for a TV with a remote controller.
So here are some points of interest to tweak the UI for Andoid TV's:

  • Add a setting to "force" Andoid TV UI with:
    • Removing number 1 and 2 and place them in the menu (pic 2);
    • Sadly I am unable to close a video I watched (number 3), so remove this or add a new function (press back to make it small, press back again to close);
    • When you are on one of the videos on the left (pic 1, eg Michou) and than press left, it should open the menu as in pic2;
    • Playing a video in fullscreen is quite hard to do, so is it possible to make somekind of button in the video pop-up to play a video fullscreen?. maybe also add these: (back 10sec, full screen/small screen, pauze,close video, advance 10sec. when pressing down it should go to the timeline of the video) ;
    • If possible, add a feature to update the app from wihtin newpipe. My TV sucks when using a browser and does not give me the pup-up for a new version...;
    • Refressing the playlist is also hard to do, I suggest making a "long press to refresh" function to refresh the playlist.

If someone could have a look at these points for any future update would be great, I am willing to test the alpha version
