Does anyone have a solution for streaming audio to Android that will allow background play as well as allow the user to control their current playback time?
On iOS the videoPlayer covers this. On Android, using the videoPlayer with idleTimerDisabled set to true almost addresses background play, though it still shuts off when switching apps or if the user initiates sleep. The audioPlayer solves the allowBackground issue but has no control over currentPlaybackTime.
I know that this question has been asked many times before without resolution so my expectation is low, but is someone at least able to explain why this is an OS specific issue?
