Is there a way to disable the background video playback when I hit the home button. Most of the apps do it and its both distracting and frankly unnecessary. I want to use the home button to exit the app but instead I have to pause the video first to do that.
Is there a setting I missed somewhere to do that?
There's no setting for this. You either have to quit the app before coming to home screen or press the play/pause button while on home screen to stop background video.
