Background playback not working

Hi developers, I’m using an iPhone 17 Pro Max with the latest iOS version, but background playback isn’t working correctly. The audio stops when I lock the screen or switch to the home screen or another app. Could you please look into this issue?

Amazing

Amazing app, works so well. No clutter and no ads. Includes sponsor block and allows you to download videos locally. Keeps getting better and more stable with every update and works flawlessly for me. One thing that would make it perfect is if I could see the video description. Maybe I’m overlooking it, but seem to only be able to see comments.
Keep up the good work!

I like it but..

It’s a good and reliable video player with no ads but the one problem is I can’t play audio when my phone is off and the audio stops playing I miss this old feature. Edit I wish timestamps worked too ;(

Auf iOS gut aber auf tvOS schwierig

Finde die App auf dem iPhone gut gelungen, jedoch gibt es einige Probleme auf dem Apple TV. Zum einen werden Videos zum Teil ab einer gewissen Dauer schwarz und es kommt kein Ton mehr, zum anderen ist das Video Interface etwas schwierig gestaltet. Erst nach mehrmaligem Klicken pausiert das Video oder das Menü lässt sich aufrufen. Das negativste ist jedoch das alle Videos in einer sehr geringen Auflösung geladen werden und diese im Video selbst nicht geändert werden kann.
Wäre schön wenn man sich um diese Probleme kümmern würde, dann wäre die TV App sicherlich genauso gelungen wie auf dem iPhone.

Works great

Incredible app, no ads, can disable shorts, built in sponsor-block, all for free. Great app, thanks for making it.

Background Playback

„Background Playback funktioniert leider aktuell nicht. App-Idee ist gut, aber diese Funktion läuft bei mir gar nicht zuverlässig. Hoffe auf ein Update 👍“

Latest update: Won't stay paused

This app is generally great, but there's tons of random changes to the layout and functionality with each update, it doesn't seem like it's being tested much at all? So many changes with no clear purpose behind them, and always a new bug introduced when the last bug is fixed, making it a generally frustrating experience to use. At least it doesn't have the problem with endless ads and tracking that the official app does.

Response from developer

Noted :) working on it…

Unkomplizierte Alternative zu sideloading

Hält was sie verspricht, eine Übersichtliche App mit Ad und SponsorBlock. Das einzige was ich vermisse ist die Möglichkeit Videos in playlists hinzuzufügen, ansonsten alles super!

Wird immer besser 👍

Nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten, läuft es jetzt ziemlich gut.

Response from developer

You can reprt issues on guthub se i will have it in my todo list :)

Developer, please read and fix.

These problems need fixed, bad. Sometimes, videos will randomly pause and won’t keep playing unless I go out of the video and go back into it. Other times, videos just won’t play at all and say “Unable to play this video”. On my Smart TV and on my IPhone, in which I have this app on both, it gives me random shorts I don’t want and have never watched anything close too in my life, and even when I click “Not Interested” and refresh, they still come back! When I try to hold down to get the options (To do stuff like click “Not Interested”), it plays the Short. 1 last complaint, sometimes it will randomly go to a black screen and restart the video when watching a video. Developer, please fix these issues, otherwise, this app would be amazing. Thanks.

Response from developer

Hm not playing videos should be only if its members video perhpas. Strange shorts might be because you have per device recomendation in settings. But i will look into it anyhow. Regards

Thanks for making this possible

A few glitches here and there, but I’m hopeful it’ll only get better and better.

Nichts zu beanstanden, funktioniert sowohl auf Mac als auch iPhone bestens

Old video player was better

The new one is reliable yes as free even better but now when I turn off my phone the audio sadly no linger plays when this new update came out.

Kein backround Playback

Gute App aber leider kann man am iPhone 17 Pro Max auf YouTube nur hören solange das Display an ist. Trotz aktivierten backround play funktioniert es nicht. Ton geht weg sobald Handy gesperrt ist

Buggy but would be great

Many of the features for ad skipping are implemented well but I found the regular play/pause and seek functionality is completely unresponsive on iPad which makes it not useful

Playback issues

I cannot get the playback to work, when I exit the app video mutes itself but continues playing in the background

Was working fine now crashes.

Latest update causes it to crash unfortunately.

FINALLY

YouTube how it should be! Well done to the dev for making this. It’s exactly what I needed on my Apple TV.

My only criticism (and this really is the only downside to this app at the time of writing) but the resolution is quite poor and there’s no option to set a custom minimum resolution.
If this issue is fixed then I’d happily pay to purchase this app or offer a donation.

Keep up the good work 🍾

Works great so far

Works great, except it won’t shuffle playlist even though it is set to shuffle. Thoughts?

Almost useless

Depends on Google login to manage subscriptions, playlists, etc. Should allow you to manage these locally like Unwatched and NewPipe.
