Is your feature request related to a usage problem (not a bug)? Please describe.
The kind of behavior I look to reproduce is the following : being able to let playlist videos to start automatically, but not the other kind of video.
As of now, the only way to let a playlist play by itself is to enable both "Autoplay Playlists" and "Autoplay Videos", the issue is that I don't want other videos that are not part of a playlist to play automatically. This is expected behavior for me, and YouTube works like that.

Describe the solution you'd like to see implemented
Distinguish playlist video from other videos for the autoplay behavior.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Make "Autoplay Playlists" also autoplay playlist's videos so that I can let "Autoplay Videos" setting disabled for every other videos.
OR
Add a setting like "Autoplay Playlists Videos" that targets the situation described above specifically.

Additional context
I think that "Autoplay Playlists" should be renamed, because at this time it doesn't actually play playlist videos automatically, it just switches to the next one in queue.

Yes please! I want to use the playlist feature like the watch later feature in YouTube. Currently going back and forth between the video and the playlist is cumbersome, a true Autoplay feature for the in-built playlist feature would eliminate this problem for me. Currently Autoplay only works to play recommended videos but I would like to use it for my saved videos playlist

Hi, I'd like to give this a shot, namely I'd add the separate toggle for playlist videos in the settings if that's ok.
However I noticed other issues related to the autoplay feature are also being worked on:
#1181
#4103
possible conflicts?

I'm not sure when this was changed, but this issue was resolved. Only one of Autoplay Playlists or Play Next Video needs to be enabled for playlists to autoplay.
