por Wade the Wilson, hace 2 años《UPDATE #2》
I believe I have discovered the issue! So, as stated in the 1ˢᵗ 2 reviews below, the app works on SOME videos {+5☆}, but on OTHERS it gets cut off as the page reloads {-4☆}.
After some experimentation, I can now definitely confirm that this extension functions EXACTLY as advertised on any "normal" video/playlist (like when listening to a podcast, for example).
HOWEVER, for any video YouTube has flagged as MUSIC, it forces the browser to kill the tab, automatically reloading it when next you switch over to it.
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, MY DEAR SWEET DEV-TEAM! I've officially located the issue for you. NOW, all you gotta do is fix it.
As for my review... since I've proven the Extension still has ~50% functionality... {+2☆}, bringing the current total up to a respectable 3☆.
That said, should you release an update solving the music issue, I'll GLADLY bumb that badboy back up to 5☆!
Lookin' forward to it.
《UPDATE #1》
Not sure what happened, or if it's just on certain videos, but it definitely started failing every 5-10 minutes...
As soon as you fix that issue, I'll change it back to 5☆ though!
(it's so weird, cuz it literally just worked like 14 hours ago...)
《ORIGINAL REVIEW》
Perfection. It does EXACTLY whst it says it'll do. YouTube/Mozilla keep putting out updates that makes it harder and harder to multitask or listen to videos, but THIS is the solution.
THANK YOU.

publicado el hace 2 añosDoes this happen even if you open a new Youtube tab and then start playing back one single (longer) video, or only in conjunction with autoplay and/or playlists? There's a Firefox bug involving the latter (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1878115).
Also another thing: If you temporarily try disabling any kinds of battery optimisations and stuff like that (compare https://dontkillmyapp.com/) for Firefox – does that improve the situation in any way?
I've tried some eleven or twelve minute long "Category: Music" videos, and as long as I only play back one single video at a time (in order to avoid the above Firefox bug), everything worked fine on my phone.

- Se valoró con 2 de 5por lcfb_29, hace un mesWent with this extension first since it is recommended by Mozilla, but it didn't work for me at all on my Motorola phone. After trying many similar ones in the add-ons store, the best I've found so far is:
1. Background Playback Helper (YouTube & Vimeo) by phase3
2. Background Video Player by Dr. B. R. Shriradhakrishnasharnam
Hopefully this helps someone save some time. This is an older extension and hasn't been updated in more than a year and a half despite YouTube's recent changes to target non-premium users. There appear to be many newer ones, like those above, that work better based on my testing. - Se valoró con 2 de 5por Alessandro, hace un mesRecently it breaks quite substantially youtube: it everytime I reopen the site while a video is playing, it's in landscape. Also when I pass from a page to another
