[Feature Request] Play in background / lock screen #528

Open tim-tx opened 1 year ago

tim-tx commented 1 year ago

The only thing keeping me from switching from the default Jellyfin client is the ability to play audio while the phone is locked. Sometimes there are video shows that I can listen to as audio only most of the time.

The behavior of the default client is that if you lock the phone, a player control appears on the lock screen where you can then hit play and hear audio only.

Another app (AntennaPod for podcasts, supports video too) does the same. It also provides a "Play as audio" control. If you use this you switch to audio only while the phone is unlocked, and if you then lock the phone the audio just keeps playing. This could be nice, but less desirable than just playing audio while locked by any means.

Hi bumping this - I'd really like this feature, it's the only thing I need from the official app that Findroid doesn't have.
