I'm not sure if YouTube got updated but I used to be able to listen to videos in the background without having to be in the YouTube app but as of today I can no longer do that. Did you YouTube removed this feature? Is anyone else having this problem?
One option with the S6 is to use multi window by dragging from top corner to opposite bottom corner. I have never used YouTube in the background, not too sure about that functionalty.

I think that feature is only for Google Play Music subscribers, not sure if you used to be one of those. I'd do what shook187 says and drag it as far to the bottom corners as possible as a workaround.
I always watch youtube videos with the youtube app. Lets say i click on a channel and i click on the "all videos" tab to see all videos from the channel and scroll down, and then click on a video and make FULLSCREEN, no matter when i turn the s6 or click on the fullscreen button, then i am always at the beginning of the list!! also not there where i scrolled, im at the start of the list again BUT ONLY WHEN I VIEW A VIDEO IN FULLSCREEN, even when its only for 1 second. But when i view the video "normal" also not in fullscreen im there where i scrolled before!!! Is there anyway to stay where i scrolled before after i watched a video fullscreen???

Hi, I have problem which I can't explain. When I am trying to play my movies from the nas (synology), many of times is not playing. I see the circle and stuck there. When I restart the box, it's ok for once, until I want to see another movie. Then i have to restart the box again. I dont have the same problem with other players such as bs or vlc. I am curious what is going wrong.

Custom codecs are just customized FFmpeg libraries & will not improve anything functionally on network streaming.
probably, there might be some other issues which got fixed automatically.
I have downloaded a ts file from iptv server ( in windows) and transferred it to mi box.. unfortunately mi box video player did not play it while xmtv player can play it.. If I can make system video player can play that ts file i can use of my iptv app.. which does not work on mi box.. I am sure that's about system default codec.. and I do not know how can I change and work with media_codecs.xml in /system/etc/media_codecs.xml
I have almost found the problem and need help for resolve it..
as I knew.. problem happens because of width and height of some videos..it is important for me to play this samples with Mi Mdeiapalyer app..as system player..
system player can not play these .....although they could be played by other players such as mx player.. I give you three sample of those videos

Mi box 3 Oreo update volume slider bug
Is anyone else getting just a white volume slider the blue dot appears but the icons are whited out its suppose to look like the slider from MM. I noticed it because when I got close to it I saw a faint media and volume symbol. Is there a way to fix that. I already reset with no success

Hi,
This is a firmware bug. MX Player has nothing to do with it. Kindly post it in the appropriate subforum.
Coming from an iPhone 7 Plus, I used the feature of YouTube playing in the background on a daily basis.
On Android I start playing a news clip or song then tab out to my web browser or stop watch, or any other app, and the media goes off.
How do I keep YouTube playing the background ?
The only way on YouTube app is by having YouTube Red subscription. It's a feature for red on Android. Others could point something out but from what I've checked and seen when using YouTube is by YouTube Red.

Not sure that its possible without root and xposed. Xposed hasn't been updated to work with Nougat yet though and that could still be some time away unfortunately. Might just have to live with it as is for the time being.
Thanks for the replies. I recall on previous Android phones that are rooted I used that Xposed module. But Xposed isn't compatible with Android N and the S8+ is locked down no root anyways for me.
Dang, that's unfortunate. YouTube Red might be your best bet then. Depends on how much you want it and whether you're willing to pay a monthly subscription to get it I suppose.
Sometimes I use the multi window feature to watch YouTube videos while using another app. It is a bit of a pain though if you just want audio as the minimum window size is still 1/3 of the screen.
I've tried a few apps that claim to play YouTube videos in the background but none of them worked very well.
There a app call OG YouTube somewhere in xda that have playback.
Try swapping top corning down to make the screen smaller. You can still hear and see the video and also move the smaller screen anywhere you want.
Use Firefox browser. It let's you play YouTube in background or screen off

Can you explain how it works on iOS? It seems crazy to me that YouTube requires you to pay a monthly subscription fee for background play on Android, but offers it for free on iOS.
If you mean playing within a web browser, and then going to another tab of the browser, I think Firefox for Android allows you to do that. If, instead, you mean the YouTube app itself, then you need YouTube red or some other (probably unsanctioned) method.

On my iPhone 7 Plus, I was using some program called 'ProTube' on stock iOS, not jailbreak or anything;
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/protube-for-youtube/id931201696?mt=8
I could start a video, and then move to do something else, and it would remain playing in the background until I manually closed it down. I get so used to it, and really liked it, now it's a shock not to have something like it on Android.

Yep you have to download the APK. They stopped support so the latest APK would be the last one you can use.
So you have to search XDA as the website took down the download links for OGYoutube.
The app still works without problems and should be a while until YouTube updates something to make it obsolete.
The lat update is OGYoutube 3.5.
Only thing is that you won't have the crop to fit. If in case you used it.

I couldn't get it to work at first either. Try going to options in Firefox and check "Request desktop site". After doing that I was able to return to the home screen with the audio still playing in the background. It seems to work with the screen off as well! :good:
Go to Youtube app, play video then turn off screen with the power button (just a click). Video will pause. Click on power button again and youll see time on top. Swipe the time left or right and youll see the youtube play button . Click play and it should work. It will not work any other way if you want to text or call or be on your phone but it will if you want to hear music and conserve battery. This is on my S8+ .....PS make sure your Pandora or any other music app is off.

You can't do this on snapdragon versions, which is what op has.
You have to choose desktop mode in the Firefox browser. I know how you feel I switched from iPhone as well
og youtube works like a charm
Running 1.10.47, played videos are the same colour/tone as non-played videos, previously they were a different shade of grey. Nothing changed with a tablet I've used MXPlayer on for years.

Thanks for reporting the issue. It will be fixed in the next update. Stay tuned for further updates
You can install the beta 1.10.50 to get rid of the Bug:
Sorry, cant post the full link. Got to apkmirror and search vor mx player > Show variants > MX Player 1.10.50 beta (arm-v7a) (Android 4.0+)
I installed it too, as without the indication its annoying.
Sorry for long wait As the updates are rolled out in phases, it may take a while to reach everyone. We have just rolled out to everyone now. Please check the Google Play Store again to get the latest version for your device.
