Music streaming on chrome stops when you lock the screen / press the power button

[Arun Nayak]

Device: Samsung s6 and s7 edge
Problem: Music streaming on chrome stops
This functionality is working fine on Iphone chrome and HTC chrome browsers. Not sure what is happening with samsung phones ? I tried turning off the power saving mode and couple of other tricks which are avaiable on internt, nothing worked as expected.
Could you please suggest ?
Is this Samsung bug / chrome bug ?
Is this will be fixed ?

Regards
Arun

It will be a settings in whatever the streaming comes from. To have to allow play on lock screen...

Welcome to the forums Arun! When you play the music, does it play via music player?

 

[Arun Nayak]

Yeah.. we have used Video.js: The Player Framework
