feature-request: background playback of video and/or audio

[crmackay]

The current app stops playing as soon as you leave the app. Allowing audio streaming to continue to play in the background is fairly standard (safari allows you to do this for web videos, you just need to press play from the control center), and would be useful for many videos.

Related: allowing users to selectively chose to stream just the audio from a video file would be useful too, especially on mobile devices with limited data/bandwidth, but this might be more of a content creator concern.

Hi @crmackay thanks for the suggestion. This is actually something we're pretty interested in supporting and it's slowly making its way up our priorities list.
