Abstract:
Described herein is a method for managing media item playback. A method includes presenting a media player in a first portion of a user interface (UI) on a mobile device, the media player to provide playback of a first media item. The method also includes receiving a user selection of a second media item via a second portion of the UI. The user selection indicates a user request to move the second media item from the second portion of the UI to the first portion of the UI. The method further includes upon receiving the user selection, causing the media player to provide playback of the second media item when playback of the first media item is complete. The method includes receiving, via a second portion of the UI, a user request to perform an activity that is independent of the viewing of the first media item or the second media item. The method further includes presenting content associated with the requested activity while continuing to provide playback of either the first media item or the second media item in the media player of the first portion of the UI.
Abstract:
A method for providing an adjustable video player is disclosed. The method includes providing, by an electronic device, a content item player for playback of a content item in a portion of a user interface (UI) of an application executed on the electronic device and receiving an indication of a gesture to minimize the content item player made by a user of the electronic device.

Abstract:
The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a method that includes providing a mid state, a fullscreen state, and a miniplayer state of a touchscreen user interface for presentation on a touchscreen device. The mid state presents a first video from a queue of videos and portions of a previous video or a next video from the queue of the videos. The fullscreen state expands the first video to fit the touchscreen user interface without presentation of the portions of the previous video or the next video. The miniplayer state shrinks the first video to fit a list of videos for a user account within the touchscreen user interface.
