Description

Smarter (more advanced) of Up next autoplay option would be that it would work only on music videos (in playlists and queues). The type of the next video would be detected and if it is not a music video, it would not be played.
Add an on/off suboption to "Up next autoplay" (when it's turned on) to autoplay only on music.
If the suboption is enabled, the autoplay will work only on music videos, if disabled, the autoplay will work on all videos. If the main option "Up next autoplay" is disabled, the autoplay is off for all videos (as it is now).

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing "Up next autoplay" option through playlist and queue playback, then identify where the next video's type is detected. Add the on/off music-only suboption and verify that it affects only autoplay while preserving the existing main option behavior; test both music and non-music videos in playlists and queues.
