Bug ID: 66475
Summary: Media files continue playing when you leave the
article or exit the app
Product: Wikipedia App
Version: Beta
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Android App

If you start playing a media file, for example the one in [[When Johnny Comes
Marching Home]], and then navigate to another article, the file continues to
play.
Also, if you press the home button to leave the app, the file continues to play
in the background (unless you fully close the app by clearing from recent
apps).
Also, it is possible to play multiple media files simultaneously (which is
almost never a desired behavior), and it is impossible to turn one off unless
you navigate back to the place where the player is within its article.
I'm not sure what the ideal way of handling media files in articles should be,
but I think embedding a player within the app interface (instead of keeping it
within the body of the article) would make sense. That way, when you tap to
start playing a media file, it opens it in a player within the menu. Then you
could continue navigating, but you could simply open the menu to control the
playback.
