Navigation - Now Playing indicator #189

When playing media from inside the app it needs 3 or 4 steps to go to the Now Playing page. A Icon that appears when media is playing and directly jumps to the Now Playing site would be more convenient.

Now Playing indicator just shows up in portrait mode. When you hit the indicator you get redirected to the remote section and you have to navigate back. Better would be to just get an overlay whats playing with the basic controls. We could also fade in the Now Playing overlay as a message for the user that the media is Playing and fade the overlay out after a time period.

Controlling the volume is missing for the basic controls (would like to have a volume slider instead of buttons).

Also it would be nice when you go back to the Dashboard and media is playing that the Now Playing section of the Dashboard shows up.

As was discussed, the changes just involved to display the 'Now Playing' on desktop and landscape devices. The indicator was added at the top navigation bar.

Volume slider, Now Playing Overlay and Navigation are out of scope.
