"play as video" feature is simply annoying

The ability to play videos in the background is amazing. But why VLC makes it so difficult to get back to the video playback after restoring VLC app from the background (switching back to the app)?!

I have to press the video name, then it turn out to be played as áudio track. Then I have to press "three dots" and press "play as video"

Is switching to video playback by default so much to ask for VLC? Iam sure this was a feature some years ago, life was much easier back then.

In other words, if the app is closed to background while playing video, i want it restored also playing video! What's the big deal?

This was implemented recently, you will have a setting in the next version to reopen the app and restore video automatically.
