[tldr]

I just thought I'd request what might not be a simple but useful feature that Firefox and a few other apps have taken advantage of. Continuing audio playback of the video your watching with your screen locked. This is an awesome feature, I can go to youtube in firefox and play a video and lock the screen and it doesnt interupt the playback of the video.
1. I like to run and bike. 
2. I like to listen to TYT and other documentary channels and things on the kodi youtube addon.

currently both cannot be done simultaneously without the problem of pocket-bumping kodi controls and added battery drain as the video is still displayed on screen. 

Any way just thought I'd put that out there.

Thanks for the work Kodi team.
