Make media player notification/audio focus optional?

Open boringhexi opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. With the latest release, a couple features have been lost (rather useful ones, in my eyes at least). Previous releases of Twire didn't pause other media players when a stream started playing, which meant:

  • You could watch two Twire streams at once (one in the main window and one in the pop-up player, good for watching races between two streamers)
  • You could listen to music in another app while watching a stream (I've done this a lot ever since ad breaks started appearing, helps fill in the silence)

Describe the solution you'd like Under Settings -> Stream Player, an option to disable audio focus/media player notification

Describe alternatives you've considered I can stay on the previous release of Twire, which works for now but will break someday (and lacks the many useful updates of the latest release).

Additional context Just wondering whether a feature request like this fits under:

  1. "Sure, we can implement this someday"
  2. "We have no plans implement this ourselves but we'll merge a PR if someone makes one"
  3. "This is outside the scope of Twire, you can do it yourself but you'll have to fork Twire"

same! exact same reason. having a setting to disable 'pause stream on other media' would be super useful

Please add this back / make this an option. This was absolutely the killer feature of the app, being able to watch a stream while other media is playing on the device.
