Playback Foreground Media Notification Behavior: 💥Behavior may vary based on Android OS version. 💥While on Player screen & in background play and watching/listening a video/stream swiping open your Android device notification drawer you will see a notification based on VOD/RTTV. 💥The notification will be minimized, only showing text, small and large image and the Play/Pause button. 💥The notification can be swiped/dragged down to open/expand to the full size. The seekbar, rewind & fast forward are now shown for VOD media. 💥Seekbar can be manually seeked in-app, in-PiP and in background play. 💥Rewind & fast forward can be used watching VOD media in-app, in-PiP and in background play. 💥Playback output source can be changed from Phone speaker to other bluetooth devices. 💥Notification will dismiss when content is completed, player exited via non-pip navigation, or app closed. 💥When locking the device while watching a video/stream on the Player screen playback will pause and the lock screen notification will reflect it. 💥Playback can be played via notification. 💥When locking the device while watching a video/stream in PiP the playback will continue to play. Next up, we've got some offline/reconnection bugs we're going to fix and then move on to other bug reports we've seen from Customer Service.
