This feels a bit like a bug, in that things that used to work for me no longer do, but I think it’s intended behavior so I’m posting it as a feature request instead.
App version: 2.6.1, from fdroid
Android version: 12
Device model: Pixel 4a (sunfish)
Previous behavior: Video podcasts continue playing in audio-only mode when the screen is locked or the back button is pressed (depending on the “upon exiting video” setting)
Current behavior: Video podcasts pause when the screen is locked or the back button is pressed. The “upon exiting video” setting no longer exists. The only way to switch to audio-only mode is to open the dropdown menu of the playing video and select the “Switch to audio only” option.
First occurred: Today
Steps to reproduce:
- Begin playing a video podcast
- Lock the screen or hit the back button
- Podcast pauses, with no setting for overriding this behavior

Summary
Could we bring back the “upon exiting video” setting so we can choose whether or not we want the podcast to pause when we lock the screen?
Thanks, C
