Background playback on Android

I can't seem to get the app to continue playing in the background.

Materialious isn't a native Android application and uses shaka player for handling SABR & botguard to allow functionality with YouTube.

I don't believe it would be possible for Materialious to support background playback without us implementing SABR & botgaurd into 2 separate players, what isn't very maintainable.

Materialious use to support background playback, but doesn't anymore.

Possibility to have background audio playback with simple modification

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52028940/how-can-i-make-webview-keep-a-video-or-audio-playing-in-the-background#52030464

Can also implement media controls with https://github.com/ingageco/capacitor-music-controls-plugin

A out of app pip style background player won't be possible tho.

Use capacitorjs app state to pause playback if background playback is disabled

This is stalled until Capacitorjs allows use to modify the webview used.
