Hello all, I will get straight to the point. I use the Youtube Music app and the app will close out (stopping the music) when I press the "Close All" button.
I want to keep the app playing music even after I press the "Close All" button in the recent apps tab. Is this possible using Tasker or other apps/plugins. So is there a way to keep the app alive after pressing close all?
You could do something like this, except if the app name is Youtube Music.

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.
Can anyone tell me how to disable autostarting of Music app when headphones are pluged in?
Can't find anything about this in settings (both in app and mod settings).
Didn't find anything about this here (or somewhere in the internetz).
Am I the only one annoyed by this "feature"?
Music app starts because of a loose contact in the headphone jack.
Whenever you plug in your headphones the phone thinks you pressed the media button on the headset that shipped with the phone (it has a fourth contact on it's jack).
To disable this I used an App called Autostarts: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts
In this app you have to look for the event "Media button pressed" and then disable forwarding this event to music app.

Thanks for the suggestion!
...But it sounds a bit like cracking nuts with a microscope.
What I can think of is to install an application that "steals" the event from the music app and disable autostarting from within this app. But this solution is far away from elegance also.
There should be a quick and elegant solution.
Maybe a short script that prevents forwarding of this event to music app?!...
...which, unfortunately, is beyond my abilities. :/
I don't think you can "steal" the event from a specific app.
The more media players you install the more receivers of the MediaButtonPressed event are in the list so I guess the event is a broadcast that every app can choose to receive and react to.
Autostarts' description says it can disable app components, but needs root access too - otherwise it will be in read-only mode.
So I guess if you knew exactly what the app does with root rights you should be able to reproduce it without the app.
But it's getting complicated again.
I think the easiest and also most comforable way is to somehow get this app (there's no free version unfortunately) and disable receiving of the broadcast for music apps.
Done.

You were right.
I installed Winamp first. Plugging the headphones began to start Winamp. When I turned off its option to control the headset, the music app began to start.
Then I decided to freeze the music app via Titanium Backup, and voila. Problem solved. After restarting the phone even music app icon disappeared from the menu.
Not the most elegant solution, but it works.
Thanks for the useful info!
Now I just have to find a lightweight player that doesn't autostart when the headphones are plugged in or that has an option to disable autostarting. Winamp is not so good lately.
I prefer Player Pro - but yet again - this app is not free...

DeaDBeeF Player Pro... This one?
(Too many "Player Pro"s in Play Store.)
Sorry - I mean this one:

Here's a 7 day trial version:

Hi to all,
today I tried Kirik settings (http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=673dd6e6-29ac-463c-81d0-89b04a381a3c), an app that permits to access to fast settings (WiFi, cellular, airplane mode, new sms, ecc) by media player bar. When I press down or up volume button, the popup show me some choices as a "playlist" and by pressing the title, it opens the fast link page.
How do it works? How pressing on a "song" title, it show me a page?
Thanks to all and sorry my bad English.

It's really rather simple:
The audioplayer API allows apps to register as the currently playing audio player. If you tap the song, the API will open said audio player.
What Kirik presumably does is to initiate a "fake" audio playback and register itself as the current player to the audio API. That way, tapping the song will open up kirik. This would also explain why you need to "re-initialise" the app after you listen to real audio.
Note that whatsapp used to do something similiar (and I think it still does on WP7.X) to keep a data connection to the whatsapp servers in the background to allow up/downloading images in the background.
Other than not playing too awesome with my Note 3, this Klick Quick button matched with the Klick App (only app that works and/is in English) is doing ok and does what advertised, EXCEPT when I use my media controller app on my Galaxy Gear running Tizen, if I hit the play button on my Gear it counts on the phone as a button click, rendering the media controller app on my Gear useless, because anything's I use it it opens the app corresponding with the single button click ... any way to fix this?
Wasn't sure where exactly to post but please move to the correct sub forum.
I need an app that does what the subject title does. Its not a necessity but more of a gimmick. I want the screen to remain on when an app is running in the background and I've tried and tested various apps from the play store and none of them are working the same with my old nexus 5.
When I begin playing a playlist from Spotify I dock it in my car cradle and then put it to sleep mode, the music is still playing and when I push the sleep button on again, it comes up with a cover art which looks pritty cool in my car.
I've downloaded several apps and when I assign the 'screen on function' to Spotify it stays on fine when loading up the app but when I get the phone to go into sleep mode (with the app still in the background) the screen doesn't stay on. The apps do what they are supposed to do when keeping the screen on when Spotify is loaded but its the sleep mode I'm stuggling to get it to work properly.
Any ideas which App can do this? I've crawled through google play store and none of them are doing what I need them to do.
Thanks
exactly what you want:

good luck
Thats working, will test later but thanks for responding. Been looking for an app for a long time. Cheers.
