Best 5.1 feature

[tr-1]

IMO it's the ability to play YouTube sound with screen off.
I'm pretty sure it started to allow me this right after I updated to 5.1. I've been waiting for this feature for at least a year because I listen to YouTube news in my car on the way home.
Now I only wish they's allow us to listen to YouTube on the background like G Music. I bet it's coming when YouTube music subscription goes live.

Hmm, doesn't work on my Nexus 5 (at least not if I press the Power button to turn off the screen).

Strange. I have Nexus 6 and even rebooted to make sure it wasn't some sort of a glitch. I can start a YouTube video then press the power button to shut off the screen and the sound keeps on playing.

Huh? I've had this ability since KitKat 4.4.2......

It may depend on the device you are using I guess but I know for a fact that it didn't work on MotoX, Nexus6, Nexus7, Nexus5. At the moment it only works on my nexus 6 which has 5.1
