  By the way, the user story mentioned the following information.
  >> As a user, I can visit a website with streaming media, so that I can choose a streaming media to play.
     > I can click home button to back to home screen.
     > I can click on the power button to run the media in background.
     > I can also return to the playing by unlock the phone.

* Reproduction steps:
  1. Launch browser app.
  2. Visiting a streaming media provider (such as YouTube).
  3. Clicking on a video streaming.
  4. When the media is playing, click the power button
  5. Clicking the power button again and unlock the phone.

* Expected result:
  You will see the playing media and it keeps playing.

* Actual result:
  The streaming will not keep playing

Currently, the video player, when running as 'action', closes itself when its visibility changes. This is the reason why we have this behaviour.
I would like to read a feedback from UX team. To me this is not a bug but it's a new feature.

Adding needsinfo on UX here to see if they can help address comment #1 and cross check the expected behavior with the spec. Thanks !

ni? reporter: after unlocking phone and making the video play again, does it continue where you stopped or does it start from the beginning again.

Triage - blocking only if the video starts from the beginning everytime. If the video can be resumed where it was stopped, not-blocking.

Hi, Wayne,

The behavior is different between video and streaming.

Video:
After unlocking phone, I saw the video was stopped.
You could refer to the following video to know the detail.

Streaming:(ex: Youtube)
After unlocking phone, I saw the video was stopped and return to the beginning.

its a bug, but its not destructive.   sounds like an edge case, and you can easily recover after turning the phone back on.  Also, this probably exists in 1.0.1, but if not, please comment so.

Changing needinfo to Casey following UX team triage of non-blocking items, since thiso will be similar to audio policy behaviors and those are Casey's domain.

Blockers still take UX precedence, so this will be addressed after non-blocking items are cleared.

I think that in the case that the user presses the power button to "close" the phone, we can assume that they went off to do something else and it may be some time until they return to the phone.   When returning to the phone, it may be a surprise to the user that the video would continue to play and in some cases would be unintentionally disruptive.    For this reason I think it makes sense to stop the video and have the user manually initiate playback to continue the video.

The exception to this rule is with music/fm radio/fore-ground app audio playback where the audio will continue playing even when the phone power button is pressed.
