  Background playing on mobile

  The fact that they put this behind a paywall is enough for me to never pay them a dime.

    I found a neat little workaround that I used for a while. I’d load the video up in my browser, turn the phone on an off a couple times, press play on the lock screen, and enjoy it that way.

      I found a little workaround called Newpipe.

      @interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml gave me a really good suggestion the ither day. If youre on Firefox, it might work for you too :)

      addons.mozilla.org/…/video-background-play-fix/

      I just have the video running on Firefox and can them go to another App / turn off the screen

      Most certainly off-topic, but I have found other cool workarounds for apps.

      For instance, if you open 2 windows of, say, PowerPoint (1 you want to use, the other you must close after; read below). Then, go to the one you don’t want to use (or at least one you use for this method), and wait for the no account/Office not bought/whatever pop up; in any case, do NOT close the pop up. Open the other PowerPoint, and then close the former. If done right, you’ll be pleasantly surprised that it works perfectly! After that, you can open any additional ppt files. Do note that, after you close PowerPoint entirely, you gotta do this all over again.

    It used to just work. Then it only worked with a funny work around. Now I don’t care because I pirate their content instead.

  I’m in a family plan, so when this change hits, going to have to find alternative methods.

  I dont pay for it, use grayjay or firefox with ad block, I have no ads, background playing on mobile and I could care less about YouTube music.

  I just pirate it

  • EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Pirate… what?

      Videos from YouTube

        How does one pirate free videos? Is there somebody uploading torrents of YouTube videos?

  So you’re using SponsorBlock as well, or you’re watching videos without sponsors.

    In-video sponsors are not even remotely the same thing as the ads YouTube puts on videos, but that being said no I’m not using SponsorBlock. YouTube premium has a button to skip in-video sponsors so I don’t need sponsor block.
