The bug

I have thousands of photos, so decided that leaving it running overnight would be fastest way to backup. After a while, my phone started playing a video randomly. I would then exit the video and go back to sleep. This happened again, a few hours later. After the second time this woke us up, I gave up and put the phone to sleep.

This may only happen if the most recent items in the library are videos. I left the screen on the photos view one time, and backup view another time, and both times after a long time it randomly opened and started playing one of the three videos that I have at the top of the library.

Is there any mechanism for automatically playing videos from the library without being tapped that could be malfunctioning to cause this?
