 Amethyst should never run in the background unless there is a video playing. Some Android phones are not sending pause events to the app :(

 This might be a graphene thing. The only reports I have seen of background use like that has been on Graphene :(

 uninstalled Amethyst on Graphene because of this. Isn't it fair to assume i'm not watching a 5 sec video for hours on repeat in the background? Do Amethyst really need a pause event

 No, there are concentration videos that people watch on repeat. But frankly something is wrong on the graphene side. Because the app does pause the video as soon as you leave the app. It's almost as if graphene never actually actually pauses the app when you send to the background.
