I would like on screen volume controls to be added to the android plex app. I know there are physical volume buttons on phones but there are some situation where having it on screen would be useful. Also if possible i would also like the ability to access the notification bar during playback. ---

Basically, I want to have a video on the TV but with no sound while I listen to music. VLC has this capability and it’s awesome.
