Newpipe: [Feature Request] Add a way to access background player within the app

Created on 19 May 2018 · 7Comments · Source: TeamNewPipe/NewPipe

It would be nice to have a way to access the background player within the app, besides tapping on the notification. Maybe a button on the three dot menu or something.
It would also improve compatibility with android tv.

Thank you

Yes pleeeeeease. It's surprising it's not already a feature!

There should not only be a convenient way to access the player from within the app, but also a whole, background player-foucused side of the app whereby users such as myself can navigate YouTube/SoundCloud and queue songs all getting within the background player!!

Please please please! This is the one major feature holding Newpipe back!

I request this, too. My primary use is the background player, but I can't access it from within the app.

(The only way to access the background player seems to be by tapping the notification-tray player.)

I want to make NewPipe more responsive for devices like notebooks (android x86), tablets, and TV. Maybe we can aim on something like this after the next bugfix sprint.
