Is there an updated version of the youtube app (or a mod) that allows you to play videos in the background and/or with the screen off? A search turns up results from 2009. Thanks

I couldn't find the stock youtube app modded. But in the market they have an app called Nextvid its free and lets you make playlist and works with screen off! Hope that helps.

Does anyone know how to force inline YouTube videos in the stock browser to open in the YouTube app instead of flash?
I hate the full screen flash view of YouTube. Everything is tiny and a little laggy.
If the YouTube video has a YouTube icon on the lower right of the video (some don't), then you can click on that and it will take you to the YouTube app.

thanks but I tried a bunch of webpages and none have that youtube icon. I've seen it before so I now what you are talking about.

It's surprising to me that using the stock browser to watch a google-owned youtube video in full screen results in such a disaster: it's virtually impossible to tap the button you want.
Try going to apps>browser>clear defaults then navigate to a video
in the browser. Does it let you choose a default for videos then? Only guess I have...

I still get that menu when I click on a youtube link. The problem is with the inline players that show up with flash.
No solution to this?
Is this app even pushing 720p?? It looks more like the HQ you get on 3G instead of the HD on WiFi.
I have the WiFi only N7.

To be honest I don't think the youtube app has ever pushed proper 720p let alone 1080p when the HD option was checked.
If you want, you can use a modded version of the old youtube app that allows you to select 720p/1080p and has other tweaks such as screen off playback and the ability to download the videos.
Search google for "youtube modded apk" and it should be the first link from XDA. (I can't post links yet)
As far as I know the only functionality you lose is the floating window thing but personally I don't really see the use in that myself.
Check this video out! I thought it looked great!

Not just the playback but the whole app are so blown up, you can only see 2 huge thumbnails at a time
The new Youtube app messes up the video quality. You can fix it by downgrading (uninstall updates in app info).

I just testing the app, and I have to say: Cool, man, this is a realy cool. Now I can listening a music from YT with minimal battery consumption, because screen is off.
In my opinion, and for my taste, your app interface is nicer but official app.
I don't want to be a saucy, just asking:
-Can you implement a feature, when watching video in app (portrait mode, not full screen) and press back to return on search results, video continue playing in small window in bottom right corner? You know, as an official YT app.
-Can you implement a feature music continue to play when exit on home button?
Thanks.

Actually i'm not the developer of this app i credit the OP above.
And about your questions really i have asked before about the background feature and i use the "awesome pop-up" app to floating window of video and do other things in my phone.
Another thing, try this new mod Youtube here with new YT sources and all the features you asking for it, if you don't want to face any problem with it use the xposed version.
(For xposed version scroll down and click on xposed icon, you will have two downloads app one for the mod YT and other apk for module in xposed)
Idk what the mini apps are actually called but is there a way to play youtube videos on one?
Try my media viewer small app (available from my signature) or just launch add small app from Small App Launcher. There's a limitation if you install from Play Store though, you'll lose background playback when on Youtube. Better install XDA version.

Thank you so much that is exactly what I am looking for
I would appreciate if someone knows a modified YouTube application. The features I'm looking for are;
- Playback in background.
- All ads are blocked.
- (Being able to download videos is a bonus).
EDIT: Have find one!
I would simply like to know a way to get the videos to play automatically at 1080p.
Right now, they start playing at 480p..

Yup! Here it is with swift black
I'm assuming you're avoiding YouTube Red? Now that i have it, I'll never be able to go back. $10 a month for all the features you're looking for in the OP while also supporting my favorite content creators? Yes please.
I understand not wanting to pay for yet another subscription.

Because maybe some People dont wana pay 10 $ a month for "just some additional" Features and most of the Money gets to YouTube more then the Content creators.
Also YouTube red is still not available everywhere, and last but not least, some like the normal app but only Need Background playing, Screen of playing and no ads.
I completely understand. It's ridiculous how features that should be in the base app (background play, and other) are hidden behind a pay wall. I was just making sure.
for everyone not using Magisk there is an app called OGYouTube. It has all the features mentioned I this thread and works really well, the only downside is that the dev no longer supports it so it won't get any future updates. Current base is 12.10.60
does anyone know how to make Viper4droid work with iYTBP ?
viper work well with Ymusic and poweramp, but nothing in iytbp.
