Any Android Experts ?

Post by 111Robin » Fri Apr 21, 2017 9:16 pm

I have a Samsung Edge S7. I use a training app on the indoor trainer, while having YouTube running in the background with my video playlist (just audio as i have the training app on screen). To prevent YouTube from stopping when i put it to the background i was advised to run the mobile version on the Firefox browser. This was working perfectly until today. With exactly the same setup now, as soon as i put the browser into the background YouTube stops playing, i just can't figure out what's wrong. At the weekend i did run some system optimisation stuff within settings, cleaning out the memory and such like but I'm not aware of making any other changes. Anyone else with an android device able to help?.

Apparently the latest update of Firefox has had the YouTube background playback removed, something to do with Google wanting this to be a YouTube feature or some bollox liked that, lots of negative reviews on the play store about it.
