You know, it's only a matter of time before the entire YouTube catalog transitions to DRM-encrypted video
>>108027366w-wasn't it already blocked? i remember having to install an extension to make it work
>>108027366sounds like you just need to be brave
The fuck is a "third-party" browseryou can just say "web browser"is YouTube not a web site?
>>108027366VLC ( THE BEST ) doesn't have this problem.
what the nigger is background play lmao either it play or it dont
works for me on firefoxhas never stopped working
>>108027387they mean browsers that arent owned by google
I always thought this was a phone version thingwhy wouldn't they want people to background play though?the amount of fucking ads they stick between streams now is ridiculous
>>108027384the lion scares the jew
>>108027366>Rumble >Odysee
Thank god I'm just using revanced
>>108027442>why wouldn't they want people to background play though?Because they charge a monthly fee for that shit on android.The official youtube app is absolutely fucking terrible with ads everywhere and the only way to get rid of them and get access to basic functionality like background play is to pay for youtube premium or use one of the modified apps like revanced
NewPipe has stopped working ;_;
I'm surprised they still offer a mobile browser accessible version of the website to be desu on firefox you can get ublock origin and sponsorblock to get a desktop level experience without paying a dime.
>>108027588>desktop level experiencewell that's a bit of a stretch
>>108027366im playing a podcast in the background right nowwhy are you lying?
>>108027366Either that or everything will require an account.
>>108027366Firefox has an extension to fix this on Android
>>108027374worked on firefox including having ad blockers installed dunno how its now i dont use youtube anymore
If you aren't using Chrome at this point, you deserve to be punished. I hope Google breaks functionality for all of these pirate browsers.
>>108027577Newpipe works again if you update.My problem is that videos get very laggy the longer I am watching. Anybody else has this problem?
Lmao. They need money for disk and bandwidth to serve all those AI slop videos.
>>108027577Newpipe has a 50% chance of working on any given day from my perspective.
>>108029062Android?
>>108027577Have you tried updooting.
>youtube breaks annoying method to circumvent restriction>pushes users to use more sophisticated programs to avoid their bullshitnever put yourself into an arms race. you'll lose. yt are idiots.
>>108027464>the lion scares the jewhttps://cambridgeanalytica.org/personal-protection/the-privacy-illusion-how-brave-browser-built-its-own-surveillance-machine-50302/
>>108027366Can't they get sued for that?
>>108027366rip what you want while you can anons....put it on your offline lan
Not only does background audio work, but also pip video as well, without buying having to buy yt premium.
>>108029238NTA, but yes. YouTube background play worked on Brave Mobile and Firefox Mobile on Android in the past. I haven't tested in a while, though.
>>108027577Newpipe has this thing were one day it completely stops working and you have to wait 2-3 days for an update that fixes it
>>108030823>open brave>go to yt site in brave>play>lock screen>music stopsI remember this not being the case not too long ago
>>108030654Who is still not blocking ads?
Vanced bros, how are we holding up?
>>108030996Yes, YouTube is actively trying to stop you from doing that.They think it will make people buy YT Premium when in reality people just listen to Spotify.
>>108027366>before the entire YouTube catalog transitions to DRM-encrypted videothis is already a thing for the TV youtube clients apparentlyhttps://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/PO-Token-Guide
>>108027366brave bros...
>>108027442>>108027402listening to something without watching talking head so you can browse/do other shit
>>108027374It worked on Fennec before this happened
>>108031271No that's different. When people talk about DRM in the context of YouTube they're very specifically talking about widevine which can't be bypassed without burning HWIDs.
>>108030996yeah not too long ago it stopped working, but atleast in recent weeks it works again
>>108032205not working for me rn
>>108027366>entire YouTube catalog transitions to DRM-encrypted videothey can threaten all they want but it would be completely infeasible for them to do that without losing half their users because widevine support is too much of a clusterfuck
>>108027366Still werks on firefox
Noticed this last night when I was trying to get some sleepytime whore licking microphone content to play on youtube from one of the looping sites. On safari anyways
>>108027366Firefox+extensions wins once again
>>108027366Opera still works>>108030996Opera works for this as well
>>108032963shut up huang
>>108027366still works on my firefucks client.on the phone and tablet I use newpipe, which either works flawlessly or not at all.
>>108027366iOS > Android
>>108033047Do you want something that works or not?
>>108030996tried rn and it works on iosit even continues to play after I close the tab
I use fennec and i'm currently background playing YouTube without issue.
>>108032112Widevine is more like decoder DRM. all that's required is a compatible GPU. everyone has AMD/INTEL/NVIDIA/Snapdragon/Apple/etc. this is mainly to lock out third party chinks pirating content on their huawei.
>>108027442they are evil
>>108027438GOD DAMN IT. i spoke too soon. it has just fucked me
>>108032112There are different levels of Widevine, the one you’re talking about (L1) is used mostly for licensed 4K content, and only works on Approved devices with some level of secure compute capacity. L2 and L3 are a lot less picky, you just need the codec installed in your browser. The issue is this would break embedding, and require an ungodly amount of re-encoding on YouTubes end. It also wouldn’t stop people from downloading shit, because L3 and L2 are not tied to hardware, and L1 Widevine is completely unsupported on non-mobile devices (this is why watching anything from a paid streaming service on desktop sucks ass). L3 has also been cracked, so it doesn’t provide much protection anyway. In short, I think it’s very unlikely YouTube will ever adopt DRM fully, it’d cost more than it’s worth, break off-site embedding, which undoubtedly presents a good amount of revenue, and any kind of robust DRM would make YouTube non-viable in-browser. >>108033395This is incorrect, Widevine for the most part doesn’t concern itself with the display side of things, although it includes a mechanism called VMP that is used to certify that a given applications rendering stack is secure using whatever APIs are available for such a thing. The GPU is completely irrelevant, it doesn’t need to provide support, outside of whatever OS secure rendering API stuff is available (same chain used for HDCP).
>>108027366>You know, it's only a matter of time before the entire YouTube catalog transitions to DRM-encrypted video+app only, youtube.com will just redirect you to an app store
>>108027366Works on my machine (ff mobile with backgroundplay extension)
>>108034189Among everything you mentioned, widevine breaks hardware decoding under most circumstances. They probably don't want to have to explain themselves to the ESG fund people.
Works for me.
I don't get it. What does Google have against background play?
>>108027402How are you not able to figure it out based on those exact two words alone?
>>108027366Oh fuck, so it was that. Ive used Cromite browser on Android for a long time for this reason. Its excellent, better even than Newpipe for playing music on background. But this evening it just stopped working out of nowhere..
>>108030996>>108031194Id rather just get a second phone exclusively for this. Never giving child rapists ie. jews a cent.
Background play still work on Desktop Site mode on browser.
>>108031326???? Phonenigger subhuman
How come it works fine on desktop across multiple different browsers? You can play music or videos tabbed out no problem.Why is this so unacceptable on mobile?
>>108037540why would a website know that it is in the "background"? what does that even mean? the window is unfocused? the window is minimized? the window is on a different workspace? the window is overlapped by other windows? the window is shaded?
>>108037903>Why is this so unacceptable on mobile?they get like 60% of their traffic and ad revenue from from subhuman in india on mobile
>>108037510a fag, who was advocating a fight with piracy at youtubehas nothing to doand told boss"they won't see AD in background"so he get paid another month or year implementing this
>>108027374>w-wasn'treddit moment
>>108038002Web browsers send a notification when you change focus off or to a webpageIf you use regular Firefox it will stop playing when you tab off on mobile But if you intercept the notification it works in the background
>>108029089kys shill
>>108038288>on mobileholy shit telephone cucks fuck off already
>>108027366I did notice it stopped working for a few hours, but it was back up by the next day so I forgot it even happened.
Brave wins again!
YT on Brave works fine in the background, a shame it doesn’t actually block ads on this site or any site. Adding the uBlock extension to Safari actually a provides a way better browsing experience.
>>108038455See
>>108033135I already have Firefox
>>108034189so basically L2 and L3 can be bypassed if you extracted the DRM decoding library and carefully ran it with a script. L1 needs hardware keys from proprietary computer boxes.
>>108037510background play is a $9.99/month youtube premium feature
It works fine on Firefox & Brave.You people need to stop spreading misinfo and fake news.And this is not the first time such a thing happened, idk why it's randomly making headlines now.
>>108037475Hey if you're proud of being cattle then more power to you.
>>108027384Good morning
>>108027366>third-party browsers>""""smart""""phonesAbsolute state of zoomers
>>108038228i browse reddit extensively and they don't do this. we here on 4chan do it extensively. you must have come from some third place, like twitter. how embarrassing.
>>108034021Anon just so you know i saw this post and i laughed, you can go to any youtuber who has their own shop in the youtube app; click the link to go buy something; click on the three dots on the top right and open in external browser; it will use the native PIP of the browser and play the video
>>108028046they're doing A/B testing with it.
>>108037682Retard kill yourself
