YouTube background playback. - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else having trouble with the youtube background playback module? For me it stopped working, I've checked and there's no updates available. Whenever I was playing a video, it would show on my notification bar, and leaving the app would continue playing sound, now nothing happens, audio just stops. Maybe YouTube somehow disabled it to pressure us to get YouTube Red.

There is an update for the module sometime in February. It seems to be working for me.

I experience the same thing. Videos are jerky, and after a while the video pauses and the sound continues to play. This is a problem that many users are complaining about on google play store. Don't blame your device, it is just the youtube player acting up. Hopefully they will fix it soon.
Youtube doesnt work at all on cm, so I just use Viral Pro (Youtube Player) instead. It takes a bit getting used to, but it is the better app IMO.

YouTube black screen/no video in landscape?

When I'm in fullscreen/landscape, YouTube videos will sometimes play a black screen with audio only, forcing to me to exit fullscreen/landscape mode to trigger the video to play. Is this happening to anyone else? I have YouTube Red and usually have a Bluetooth audio and mouse connected when this happens.
I get this too and haven't figured out a way to fix it. When viewing stats for nerds, it reports a resolution of 0x1440 which I believe is the culprit. Switching orientation or minimizing video then remaximizing solves it. This only seems to happen when a video is launched while in landscape mode. Only happens with YouTube videos.
It also happened to me and I fixed it just clearing the data from YouTube app.

No Audio, and Stuttering Video

Hi, would really appreciate if anyone could help me.
My phone today is suddenly showing major problems after it had been working perfectly the night before - any video played from any source, the chrome browser, youtube app, file manager, shows extreme stuttering playback, with zero audio. It can no longer play audio files from music or podcasts either.
Playing games seems to work fine, as does the audio there. The phone otherwise seems fluid, I haven't changed or messed around with any setttings, the night before everything seemed perfect.
The phone is a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite with stock android 9, and rooted. Here is the youtube app playing video: https://imgur.com/3CnPHxc
Logcat if it helps? https://filebin.net/4rxfdq96n0xlzc0y
No clue what's suddenly happened, any insight welcomed!
EDIT: Solved - for anyone randomly experiencing the same issue, this Magisk APTX module was the offender, removed it and problem disappeared.

Question YouTube music screen off skips

Has anyone else experienced this? While listening to YouTube music, it plays just fine. But as soon as I turn off the screen, it starts skipping and pausing repeatedly. I wonder if Google battery optimization has something to with it

This has just started happening to me. However, it only skips once. Very weird.

Question Can't play video files

Edit: I saw a solution of turning off Hey Google in another thread and that worked for the freezing issue
HOwever, I still can't playback recorded videos
and I discovered that after I try to playback a video, i can no longer record
Hey fam!
I just got this phone from eBay
It came with an unlocked bootloader running what appears to be a global rom, because it says it's an edge 30 and has play store and all that jazz
I'm having an issue where the sound/video will cut out or pause in apps though. It usually lasts about a second or so. Everything still works in the background, so it's not like the phone itself is freezing. For example, the slightly animated background in Apple Music keeps moving even when the sound cuts out.
Youtube videos have the sound and video hang constantly
Any tips on how to fix this, or should I just flash a chinese rom back to it?
Edit:
I just did a test with recorded content
I was able to record a video with no issues at all. Camera feed stayed stable the entire time. Trying to play it back, after about a second or two it hangs and errors out saying can't play video
Just in case anyone else is having issues
installing https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/convert-to-global-rom.4400275/post-86861259
fixed this for me. Phones works great now
Now I just need to figure out how to get/install updates since my bootloader is unlocked
