The FTVstick doesn’t have a separate YouTube music app, it uses the standard YouTube one.
Every time I press the home button, the music stops despite me having a YouTube music sub
I’d like the music to keep playing so I can load up projectM for visuals!
has anyone found a workaround?

Have you tried installing the YT vanced app on your device?
I know the unrooted version via vanced manager apk seems to play nicer.
https://github.com/YTVanced/VancedManager/releases (goto assets)
You will need otg mouse/ keyboard for these apps to work properly but background play does work on normal yt vanced I use it on my 4K

hello guys. there is any app that have apple airplay like function on android? i want for example, when watching a video on youtube on my device, press a button and automatically play on my pc, or when playing a music press a button and play on pc to use my speakers.
thanks in advance
DoubleTwist + AirTwist for audio, iMediaShare for video. And Youtube has that feature built in now.
No mirroring.
When I use multi-window mode on my Galaxy S with Netflix and any other app, Netflix will pause when I use the other app. This is frustrating because I can't watch a show while checking Facebook, for example (which is the whole point of the multi-window feature). Is there a workaround for this? If not, can someone give me some practical applications for this feature? I've got some in mind, but I'm curious to see what others have used it for.
I have searched for a work around myself and unfortunatly even with root and with the far superior multitasking that TWDetox uses I have found no way to keep netflix playing while multitasked. I think this behavior is intentional from netflix so you don't "miss a moment" but yea it is annoying.
As for uses for the multitask I use it with almost every other video program and it works beautifully. Aside from that the usual use of looking something up while answering an email so I can easily copy and paste. Also using the open in annother app option on web videos lets most play in the built in video player that can be multitasked over any (yes any even without root) app. This makes watching a video while working on something else an easy experience. Add in a Upnp player type app that allows rendering to the player of your choice and even network attached storage videos can play overtop of any app.
I noticed today after trying to do some samba sharing with my desktop that when I would go to watch the video I was unable to use anything other than the default android Video Player. Just so you all know: Yes I have other video players installed, also Yes I have gone into app settings and removed all default apps from being default. After doing all of that I still do not see any other of my video players when I go to watch any of these videos. Thank you all for any help you may have.
Hi there,
How can I record the music I am listening to while recording video? I want to capture the moment with the music I listen to . It always stops the music playback when a video starts recording. I use the integrated camera app. Stock Android 8, rooted.
Thanks everyone.
Don't think you can, but use the video editor afterwards to add that same track, only takes a few seconds
That is not working as I need tune perfect recording of the exact moment the track is played. I cannot post that.
Which app do I need or which firmware allows that simple function? I remember my old phones being able to do that.

No firmware will allow it, you'll have to look for an app on the play store
Personally I would just edit the audio/video on PC
At least you could edit the mp3 in Audacity on PC to have it start at the perfect place, then use the video editor on Android to add that mp3
Spotify + Instagram?
You can install the "Sound Assistant" from the Galaxy Store and then enable the Dual-App-Sound (in your case, the "sound"-app). Then you can start recording with the camera, and the phone keeps playing the audio, but the Quality won't be the best, because it's recording the sound from the microphone and not internal.
Can confirm
Can confirm. Dual app sound in Sound Assistant and select your camera as the second app will allow you to play music while recording a video. I also suggest (if applicable) making sure that your setting for your volume control in your camera settings are set to system control and not take pic or start video.
Spotify + Instagram works perfectly!

I opened up Spotify and selected the song and then recorded the video through Instagram and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

I have moved away from Spotify premium on my Android phone, in favour of Spotify Lite (no ads), YouTube Vanced, and YouTube Vanced Music. Using Set Orientation for Spotify Lite on my Shield TV works great, but most of the time you have to guess what is actually selected on screen as this does not highlight, and you cannot cast from Spotify Lite on another device. If you already have it running on Android TV and you open it on your phone (with the same account) and select something the UI will not respond on the phone but it will start playing on the TV. This could work but the drawback with this is that if you leave it running and you are not at home trying to use Spotify Lite your songs will only be playing at home, not to mention if you want to play music on your phone and someone else wants to use the Shield.
There are ads when casting from YouTube Music Vanced to the Shield - on the Shield.
Google Home does not yet allow adding the Shield TV to a speaker group
Smart YouTube TV works great on Android TV, there are no ads but if you try to have audio only by going to your homescreen it pauses playback.
Is there some way to do this? I am happy to root the Shield if necessary.
Have you tried Newpipe? No ads and has background player. You can get it from fdroid or official site https://newpipe.schabi.org/

Yes, I have Newpipe and Smart YouTube TV installed but when I cast from my phone it the music or music and video play using Chromecast and I still experience ads.
I also found with Newpipe that you cannot login so I cannot access my saved playlists or recommendations etc.
Have you had a different experience?

Didn't know that for login as I'm not using google account. I bookmark playlists directly in Newpipe.
As for ads when casting that has to do with Chromecast. Chromecast is getting stream directly from router, not your phone. I believe you will have to block ads either directly on Shield with an ad blocker or on network level by using ad-blocking dns or pi-hole.
