Hi, this is very irritating when I turn on the screen while playing video in the background and don't see the video, but the playlist view which I don't need.
How to get rid of the playlist view after turning on the screen while playing video in the background?
In other words, I play the video, screen goes off, I turn it on and get this instead of the video itself:



Another irritating thing is after every turning screen on I have to wait for this notification to disappear. In addition, to restore the video, you need to hold down its title. And so every time! Who invented this?! Why I can't just get the video that is playing?

Because Android doesn't allow video playback with screen off so the app automatically switch to audio mode.

In the next version, this message is displayed over the player and will let you switch back to video mode more easily.

Can it be done so that you don't have to hold the title, just touch it once?

In the next version, there will be a setting to automatically restore the video when you come back.

Nice, thanks, when can we expect the next version?

When it's ready.
