Hi, video playback is considered ongoing task so, not sure if the background playback is the way to go, maybe you guys @tobiasKaminsky @AndyScherzinger can answer if we should do it. Also, if by media controls you meant doing play/pause, skip from you're bluetooth/wired earphones then that I have implemented here #13467

I meant the media controls in the quick settings panel

Okay, so that will be shown if we do background playback, which you asked.
