[Feature Request] Keep music playing when closing Symphony

Open Krintni opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Description

Currently Symphony only plays music while the app is kept in the recent apps menu. If one removes Symphony from recent apps by swiping the music stops and the media player notification disappears. It's inconvenient because one has to make sure not to close Symphony by accident.

Solution

Music and the media player notification should stay active after closing Symphony unless the queue/current song is dismissed. Maybe this could be achieved with a permanent notification for music control.

Additional Context

On ChromeOS the lack of a permanent notification appears to prevent the native media player panel from picking up the current song. But that's just my observation when comparing with VLC for Android which does have a permanent notification.

This is intended behavior. The app does not run in background if you close it.

can you make it like a foreground service , ? because android users usually use that Close All button

That might require modification of the existing playback mechanism. Also, it is not idea of create a foreground service since it might be battery intensive considering the amount of work the app does.
