Hello xda,
Now what I am posting today is NOT THE EFFICIENT way of playing YouTube songs or videos in the background but it is effective. This will shouw that youtube background playback is poasible. I hope someone can understand thh logic and convert this into an application or an xposed module at some point.
Step 1 - ask a friend to call you in a while, say 30 seconds
Step 2 - meanwhile open a YouTube video so that when your friend calls you YouTube automatically pauses it for you
Step 3- take the call and press home button in between the call and then just disconnect it
Your videos should continue playing in the background
Again, I am not saying this is a trick or sth. I am just sharing so that someone can use this and actually make it a trick to play YouTube videos in the background.
PS-the currentxposed module doesn't work for me
PS2- I am facing a problem with my phone, for which I posted in the nexus 5 troubleshooting group but no reply as of yet. Could you please give it a look and help me out there. Here's the link

Current YouTube Background Playback doesn't work because it hasn't been updated to work with the current YouTube, yet... You can simply downgrade your YouTube using XInstaller or Uninstall then Install an older version.

Is it possible to keep YouTube playing in the background while I another stuff? I was listening to an audio podcast on YouTube and decided to send an sms as soon as I press back or the long press home button to change apps, the audio ceases..
Is this a bug or is there some workaround?
Thanks
anyone?

I believe this behavior of the app is by design. It stops playback when it's not in the foreground.
Not sure you can do anything about it.
At least the new app doesn't stop playback when you press power button
Sent from my Nexus One
how is it that iOS even has a tweak to keep stock youtube app running in the background and Android doesn't!?!
Because someone that wrote YouTube for Android decided that he doesn't want this app to run in the background, and doesn't want to give the option for that either.
What to do? Use the unofficial apps, I guess. They work.
works on my nook and Optimus

Try this App: Youtube Keep Alive
You can find it at Google Play.
HI All,
My phone has stopped playing all forms of media.
Will not play YouTube, music,video.
Will not record from sound recorder
Will not record video from camera
Will not play startup tmo sound but I get a black screen for about 30 seconds then the tmo logo shows up.
Researched this error an nothing helped.
I recently rooted in hopes that someone can help me out
Been happening for about a month now.
I've noticed that if I play a video with stock lg app the video plays in the background but has the "cannot play video" popup on top and plays without sound.
I really hope it's a software issue an not a hardware
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Check /system/etc and find "mixer_paths_tasha.XML and check the permissions.
Do the same with the other mixer files, make sure to check all boxes in the permissions tab

tried but no luck unfortunately...
any other advice?
Hey everyone,
Been doing some Googling and can't find the answer unfortunately!
I've recently picked up a Note 8 that is on Oreo and paired it with a Clear View case.
I've noticed that when using Youtube and I close the Clear View case it minimizes to a layout like the music player (with the title of what I am watching and play controls, etc), but after around 10 seconds or so it switches off and goes to sleep.
Does anyone know if there's a way to stop the phone going to sleep and for Youtube to keep playing? As it'd be great for me as I listen to Youtube videos a lot at work
Thanks!

same here, the "problem" is the app, you need to be on youtube red in order to keep playing videos/music with the screen off.
Try it for free the first 30 days.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757
Or go there instead, no ads and background playback for free. Post 3 has the downloads.
Thanks for the answers! I am actually interested in Youtube red since I watch a lot of Youtube and I usually run adblock... But I'm in the UK and it's STILL not out there -_-;;
Installed the enhanced youtube app and it's been perfect! Thanks, JHFreeze!
Hello !
I've menaged to set up an activity to play video in my app but I've encountered some problems I cannot solve.
1) First is connected with back button. Mainly, when I open video and then exit it, I cannot go back to the previous activity bu pushing back button, instead it takes me back to the video player.
2) I've made a list of videos in my activity and it's made of video saved in the phone storage. I can't really find and exact way how to add videos to my list by using URL.
Thank you for time and kind advice.
Hey everyone, i would like to ask something about the sound on streaming Apps like Netflix or Disney+
Whenever i go out on a work trip, my GF and I get to watch Netflix while having a conversation over the phone, last time i did this was 3 weeks ago or so.
however when i tried doing this, last week, i couldn't do it on Disney+
Steps we do:
Make the call
Search The Movie
Press play on the Movie
Pause it on a specific time
Press play and talk with GF while enjoying the Movie
However on Disney we couldnt get pass on pressing the play button ( advance 10 seconds and scrolling bar was working fine, but never got to hit play) and i thought it was something with the disney app...
So we tried the same thing on Netflix, and the Play button is also disabled, i mean on Netflix we chose the movie, and it started to play, however when you press pause you can't press play anymore. The workaround for Netflix is to press -10 seconds button and it starts playing the movie.
But i don't know what happened, ive been reading some old Stuff about android System sound priority, but i mean, i was able to do it flawlessly 3 weeks ago, and as far as i am concerned there hasnt been an update on my phone. (disabled auto-updates)
Also since my MI9 is unlocked Netflix has to be installed away from Google Store.
and yet i updated it.
Some extra info Netflix Ver. 7.81.1 build 19 35189
Disney+ Version 1.11.1
MIUI 12.0.3.0(QFAEUXM)
Android 10 QKQ1.190825.002
Mi9 Transparent Edition.
If someone can help or guide me why this started to happen. I would apreciate it
