### #Amethyst v0.70.0: Background Video Playback (alpha)
Now you can "pin" streams and videos to the background and keep using the app/the phone while watching/listening to it.
Keep an eye out for bugs, this is a massive restructuring of how the video playback system used to work
- Moves Video/Audio player to a foreground service.
- Migrates Feed, Stories, and Live Stream screens to use that service
- Blocks screen from going to sleep if a video is playing.
- Blocks WIFI from going to sleep if an online video is playing.
- Allows the app to pause while listening to media and continue playing
- Manages cache for up to 30 videos in parallel for each of the 3 categories: local, streaming, progressive content
- Activates the use of popups with artwork that points to the screen with the video
- Creates a button to allow any video to play while browsing the app/phone
- Moves app to SingleTop mode.
- Keeps viewed position cached for up to 100 videos.
- Restructures the starting screen from App Navigation
