This is indeed not a bug, it's by design. We don't want applications running in background as that will kill your battery, that's why we force it to stop. If your app wants to keep something in background, we need a separated service for it, and request a lock with powerd to keep the system running even when "suspended".
In this case, to be able to play a music in background, the app should use the media service (which is still in early dev) instead. Marking this bug as invalid, please feel free to open a bug in the original app to make it use the media service, when available. ** Changed in: platform-api (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248242 Title: App not running in the background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/platform-api/+bug/1248242/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
