When playing video from Gallery app and minimizing it to active cover, there should be an optional setting to let the video continue playback in the active cover (with cover action to pause and resume).
EDIT 3.2.2014. This possibility was demoed as a feature of the phone before its official release. Please see answer below.

LLS video player can now play the video on the cover app.

I don't know if you remeber, but this feature was demoed by Martïn Schule in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxv7iXwIgno
I found it pretty wieird when I saw that it wasn't doing it and first thought it was a bug but I guess it was removed :s...Hope this will be back very soon..

when, you mean playing video from gallery app, do you mean a video preview of the gallery? or actually opening the file (probably with a multimedia player)? iow: is this for gallery preview? or multimedia playback?

Neo ( 2013-12-26 01:39:42 +0300 )edit@Neo which app plays the video file? is it the gallery app itself, or another app? (what name? native?) the problem is that your question is a bit unclear. if the gallery plays it, it's a gallery feature-request, if it's another app, it might be a bug in that other app.
AL13N ( 2013-12-26 02:33:28 +0300 )editThe gallery app.
Neo ( 2013-12-26 09:29:14 +0300 )editI agree with Neo. Also, I can confirm that this also happens with android YouTube app (video stops in home view), but not with native browser, e.g. open a youtube video in browser and swipe the app away -> the video keeps playing.
