Issue with Android App v2.4.4 with Picture-in-Picture not activating when pressing home button or clicking on a notification item.
If this isn't a bug and this is the expected behaviour, then may I request this as a feature?

1. Open media item and start playback in full screen mode
2. Press home button or click on a notification item
3. Video stops playing and doesn't activate PiP window

Picture in Picture mode is not a feature we currently have. So this is not a bug.

To be more specific: PiP is only supported and working inside the integrated player, which you can switch to in the client settings. The web player doesn't (and likely won't ever) support PiP.

hope web player to support pip, because the old devices need the sever decoding for playing videos

Old issue, but I'd like to bump/add to the feature request for PiP in the Web Player, for a couple reasons:

• The web player is the default player for new installations, so lack of PiP provides a poorer experience for new users
• The web player has new functionality that's been ignored in the integrated player, like scene support and trickplay.

Personally, I'd rather the nicer integrated player just get those features instead, but that seems like a less likely path than adding PiP to the web player, where most new feature development takes place.
