Background Audio Playback When Screen Off
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I’m frustrated when I use the M3U app to listen to an IPTV audio stream (with video blocked) and the audio stops as soon as I turn off my screen. This forces me to keep the screen on unnecessarily, wasting battery and preventing true background listening.
Describe the solution you'd like
I’d like the app to support background audio playback when the screen is off, especially when the "block video" option is enabled. This would allow:
- Continuous audio playback even with the screen off.
- Optional notification controls (play/pause/stop) for easy management.
- Battery efficiency by not requiring the screen to stay on.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Keeping the screen on manually: Drains battery and is inconvenient.
- Using third-party background playback apps: Often unreliable or incompatible with M3U streams.
- Alternative IPTV apps: Some support background audio, but I prefer this app’s simplicity and features.
Additional context
This feature would be especially useful for:
- Background news/sports audio without video.
- Users who want to conserve battery while streaming.
