IOS background play for video

The IOS client forces Plex video content to pause on switching out of the app. It would be really convenient if we could choose, in the settings, to either have:

1: Background play disabled (the current only setting)
2: Background play audio only (similar to what the Youtube app does with premium)
3: Background play video “mini-player” (similar to how Netflix works)

I feel as if this is an important, highly sought after feature which is not extremely difficult to implement due to the nature of IOS app development.

You might want to comment/vote in the existing feature suggestion on this very topic. This will also help avoid distracting votes/attention.

Therefore closing this thread as a duplicate.
