Playing the video in background while activity is stopped

See original GitHub issue

Hello, thanks again for this wonderful library!

Maybe I’m missing something but the player continues playing in the background when I press the home button or open another activity. It happens sometimes only when the video is not loaded yet even when mYouTubePlayer.pause(); is called in the onPause method.

Here is what I do :

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_video);
        ButterKnife.bind(this);

        mVideo = (Video) getIntent().getSerializableExtra(Constant.INTENT_OBJECT);
        mVideoActivity = (VideoAct) getIntent().getSerializableExtra(Constant.INTENT_ACTIVITY);

        initYoutubePlayer();
    }

private void initYoutubePlayer() {
        getLifecycle().addObserver(youtubePlayerView);
        youtubePlayerView.addYouTubePlayerListener(new AbstractYouTubePlayerListener() {
            @Override
            public void onReady(@NonNull YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer) {
                mYouTubePlayer = youTubePlayer;
                int startTime = 0;
                if (mVideoActivity != null) {
                    startTime = mVideoActivity.timeCode;
                }
                YouTubePlayerUtils.loadOrCueVideo(mYouTubePlayer, getLifecycle(), videoKey, startTime);
            }
        });
}

@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    if (mYouTubePlayer != null) {
       mYouTubePlayer.pause();
    }
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    youtubePlayerView.release();
}

Thanks in advance
