Youtube or streaming video stops after screen lock

[stainnlless]

Yeah I've found that annoying as well. Anytime I pause a video and the screen locks it has to start over on buffering, I'll have to look into that app you mentioned it sounds like a good solution

And i am wondering why the screen has to be locked while i am streaming?

or increase the timeout period to 2 or 5 minutes. other than that your solution seems to be a better solution.
its a youtube app issue rather than Android itself. why do u pause until it buffers? i usually dont do it. the app itself do a good job of streaming content while playing.

also you can preload "watch later" and "subscription" you can look into that.

But i am sreaming from tvj and cvm in jamaica there is not an app for any of those

The problem is the YouTube app it's self. Google owns it. They wont allow the app to keep playing when the screen closes for Monitezation reasons. (Greed). But I see that this forum is pretty old & no one probably having this problem anymore. My problem is playing youtube with the screen off. Anyone know way around this???

Try BGTube? (Not in the Play Store; search for the APK.)

This is my issue as well. I thought maybe it was my new phone, but maybe my old phone did it too.
