[REQ] Youtube player that plays in the background

I searched for this everywhere but didn't find it. I listen to a lot of electronic music and I usually play the tracks on youtube before purchasing them on beatport or whatever. It sucks thay in the youtube app the song stops if I have to answer an sms or surf web. I think it would be a good idea of a mod or even a custom app that can play youtube videos in the backgroud..is this possible?

theres a sweet app called free music download in the market where you can search for almost any song or artist and get many results. from there you can stream or download the mp3. i use it everyday along with my unlimited skip pandora
Check out Ghosttown from the market. Plays songs from youtube without the video. Idea worked well for me but the buffering killed it for me. May work for you though.
Should be in the Themes and Apps section.

The streaming is getting better, the last couple of updates have really sped things up. It's almost there, I'd say it's probably the best bet.

Why don't you try tubemate ?

[Q] Is it possible to listen to radio/music and open another app simultaneously?

I would like to open the browser, listen music/radio program found from a site, and then open another app reading e-books/comics. Is it possible to keep the sound playing while I am reading?
Tunein radio

Post which radio station you would like to hear, and we could try it out using different players/browsers. Not all radios broadcast in the same way (Winamp broadcast, Mp3, WMA, Flash, Real, who knows which format it is).
If what you want is just listen online radio, but you have no fav station, just use TuneIn Radio
I used to listen to some programmes, which are not online radio station included in TuneIn Radio. I just access the website using my browser and start playing the programme. (As far as I know, usually they are mp3.)
Besides, sometimes I would like to listen music of some MV from YouTube. It will be great pleasure if I can work on other apps while listening to the browser.
Pandora will continue to play in the background.

For YouTube music vids I suggest using stick it which allows videos to be played in the background or on top, as well as playing you're own files on the device

[Q] Pop up play and Youtube

Hello All,
I know you can play video files in a Pop Up Play screen while doing other tasks, but can you stream Youtube video or use the Youtube app in a Pop Up Play screen?
Thanks.
I'll let someone who actually has the device already give a more definitive answer, but I'll say that it's highly unlikely... the pop up play feature (AFAIK) is part of the native video player, which youtube does not use.

No....only on videos on your phone.
No you can't but I believe there is an app on Google play store that might let you is call super video

video/audio sync messed up in stock Video player

it seems like the audio and video are playing at different rates, its so slight that it only makes a second or two difference after 5 or so minutes of watching.. but it does add up, and it really messes up any movie or episode you're watching.. I don't want to move to a different video player.. I just want Mike to work right.. anyone else having similar issues with stock video player?

Video trouble

Ever since I've had my Note 2(2 months or so), I've been getting a message popping up that says"cannot play this video right now. Stop the other video and try again" This happens in Facebook, video ads between rounds on most games, YouTube, browser, you name it. I search through running apps and can't find any video players running. It's getting damned annoying and I can't find anything by searching. Any ideas on what's going on?

I had this issue playing a YouTube video from a Facebook link, I cleared the cache in the YouTube app and Force Closed it, that fixed it for me.
This is way more than YouTube. It's all video

I believe the issue is coming from Facebook auto-playing videos the feed.
I have been dealing with this randomly for about 4-6 weeks. This seems to occur when I scroll through my Facebook feed & someone has posted a video clip that starts to automatically play (with no sound, almost like a .gif). I notice because I seem to be able to link to youtube videos form my feed before one of these videos, but after youtube always fails to play. Tried restarting at first but now I Force Stop Facebook & Youtube works again.
Since half the youtube videos I watch originate from my Facebook feed, & I have to start my Facebook feed over from the top if I actually want to watch the video, is EXTREMELY frustrating.
I have cleared the apps, uninstalled updates & scoured the interwebs & this is the closest post I have been able to find, let alone a resolution.
SOMEBODY! ANYBODY! EVERYBODY! HELP!
