Youtube Playlist Continuous Playback

Is anyone aware of an app that will allow you to watch your youtube playlists, and it will jump to the next playlist item automatically? I've scoured appbrain and the app market and I haven't found anything similar yet.
I like to add a lot of random music I find on youtube to playlists and review it later, and it would be nice to listen to this while I'm driving, but the built-in youtube app just plays one item at a time and stops. I know there are a lot of apps that let you download youtube videos to your phone, but that is really too slow and overkill for what I'm trying to do.
I guess Flash on Froyo may be an option once it's available, but it seems like this wouldn't be that hard of an app to put together.

Streaming audio and browsing at same time

So my last cell phone was the HTC shadow from Tmobile. It was windows based and could do everything this phone can albeit with older hardware tech, yet I could play a youtube video or some streaming audio from a website then go back to the browser and start surfing the web and reading other sites, while the audio played in the background.
The G2x is my first android device and not only does the battery life suck, but now I find that I can't even multitask! I've searched if the G2x or any android device could stream music/audio and browse at the same time and found no adequate answer. The only one that gave me hope was to hold down the home key and you'd get the last 6 apps you've used, but this still it does not work, and the music/audio cuts off the moment I want to browse in another window.
Is there anyway to listen to an audio on one window, open another and surf the net, while the audio is still playing in the other window?

I don't know exactly which applications you're using, but this works fine for me with Pandora -- keeps right on playing while I browse.

I think he is trying to browse and use sound from a youtube video at the same time. I have never needed to do this. If you get an app like Pandora and Grooveshark you can stream music and do whatever you want at the same time.

Sounds like he is trying to stream audio from a website via the web browser. the web browser needs to be on screen with the screen on and unlocked for sound to stream.
however if you use an app like pandora or soundcloud you can let it run in the background

Yeah, I tried playing a Flash-based stream in the browser; the OP is right, as soon as I switched to a different window within the browser or switched to a different app, Flash stopped streaming. Same thing with YouTube. I don't know why. The hardware and OS are certainly capable of it, as shown by Pandora, etc.

Try SkyFire.
Back to the days I was using Nexus One 2.2. I was only able to play BBC iplayer with Flash background was SkyFire. When you get video prompt when you're about to play flash-based player, let SkyFire runs on its own way. In which you can play it in the background.

I've. Tried it on dolphin, skyfire, stock and other free browers and each time I play a video on YouTube or an audio mp3 stream from a particular site then try and open another window to browse the audio cuts of. Only when I make that window active will the audio video begin to stream again. This feature should be standard, since all windows mobile smart phones can do this, no problem.

Make a browser tab keep playing music when in background

Hello since I'm trying to reproduce my desktop browsing routine on my tablet it happens a lot of time that I open a youtube link or a soundcloud link and in the meanwhile I keep browsing. Obviously when I change tab the sound stops, is
there a workaround ?
why on the earth the youtube app should stop playing when in background ?

no ideas ?

[Q] Youtube open will multitasking?

I searched around xda and couldn't find anything relating to my topic/question.
I was driving and listening to YouTube on my phone, and I got a text message and opened up the text while YouTube was running and YouTube stopped playing music! I know I shouldn't be texting and driving, but that's besides the point >_>
Is there a way to keep YouTube audio running while multitasking on the phone?
Thanks!

Its not just you tube, but any app that shows media on screen either pauses or stops. I think this is the way the apps are built.

[Q] Is there any way to make flash videos open in a media player?

Right now, if I go to a site that plays videos in flash, like Break.com for example, it will play the video on the website as if it was a desktop. and there is almost no way for me to control it because the buttons are too small (pause/play, skip, etc). In iPhone that would pop out and be played with quicktime player or whatever that native thing is. anyway to do this on this phone?

I don't believe you can do this with embedded flash videos. And just for comparisons, neither could the iPhone (with flash videos, that is).

Yeah, iPhone couldn't play flash videos at all. Only I think HTML 5 videos.
I did figure something out last night though. In dolphin browser I set user agent to iPhone. I was able to get videos that iPhone would "pop out" to also "pop out" and play with MX Player. So that was pretty cool
I also found that if I hit the fullscreen button while watching actual flash videos, it seems Dolphin has a sort of built in tool for that and it actually shows full sized buttons for pause and stuff. Though it would be cool if any/all videos popped out to play on MX Player.

might as well change the thread title to "How can I watch porn vids"

^ lol. Upnplay + Dice Player works great. Another of my favorite players is Stick It. Allows a floating player window that you can move/resize.
