Why not multi tasking

Why can't we do multi tasking while YouTube is running. It's really annoying.
Any solution?

What do you mean?
Android pretty much multitasks all the time unless there isn't enough memory - Which the desire HD has plenty of.
If its because the stock HTC Music app stops, try using a different music app such as WinAmp.

Guess he meant that when you play something in the youtube app and want to do something at the same time, like pressing the home button and going somewhere else, the app just exits completely and stops playing. It is pretty annoying and my guess is that it's just the app itself that causes that, so feedback towards youtube app developers would be the right address.

Yep its only a matter of programming to implement that... But at least the sound stays on when you turn off the screen in youtube app.

[Q] How to play YouTube video in background?

How to play YouTube video in background on CM9/P500? I can't find any app that makes that! D:
Maybe we need flash for background reproduction? If yes, anyone managed to run cooked flash app with ICS?

Yes, on cm9 O1.
When you open the video there would be a add to playlist option at top. Use it and then play from playlist, only music will play.

I will try it again later. There's non problem, if i look for a background player it's perfect if it plays only music!

Sometimes that happens to me just take ur SD card out and put it back in or a reboot of the tab should fix it.

Power amp has a 11 band equal. Really, cash flow that bad..?

He's just trying to get his post count up. Have you seen the amount of threads he's started lately? The majority of his questions can be answered with a simple Google search...which proves the point that he's only trying to get his post count up.

You Tube offline watch it later. Possible ?

The last version of youtube enables the preloading (caching) of all the videos you add in the watch later playlist. But it needs to be online in order to play them, for some crappy reason. Is there a way to bypass that and play all the videos in "watch later" while offline?
Some info on this feature and the crap reason.
YouTube, careful to draw a distinction between this and total downloading of its vids (which breaks its terms of service), is careful to point out that you’ll still need to be online for the first second when you press play.

Guys, he doesn't want a YouTube downloader. He wants to be able to play the video the official YouTube app caches but while offline. OP, I didn't know you could do this, I'll look around for a way.

I can't get on WiFi at the moment but, I'm thinking that YouTube would store the videos on your phone. I'm thinking in the /data partition under one of the YouTube apps folders. I'll check later tonight once I have WiFi.

Just use a YouTube down loader. I know its one extra step but if its worth the extra step then do it.

Use PVSTAR+ as player - it searches and shows youtube vids, and stores them in a cache. You can also copy them out of the cache and they are normal mp4 files. (it also has a mp3 mode, which only downloads the music part it seems). The app also runs in background and with screen off. Completely replaced youtube app with it.
(it also searches on dailymotion and i think you can add other sites)

[Q] Dual screen on Nexus 7?

This is my first post, and yes, I really did watch the noob video at the beginning. I browsed through the Nexus 7 General, Nexus 7 Q&A/Troubleshooting, and a few other Nexus 7 forums and didn't find any discussion on this topic. I'm not sure what the term is for what I'm searching for so I admit tthat may have thwarted my search attempts. What I'm referring to is the Galaxy Note's ability to run 2 apps simultaneously, each taking up half the screen. My question is, can that be done on a Nexus 7?

Well, the galaxy note can only do it with s-app's so it's in reality rather gimmicky and not very practical. AOSPA rom has a multi-tasking implementation that you may want to explore, called halo, which works for ANY app. It enables an app to be opened in a small window in the center of the screen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I13bKSTrNX0
With an AOKP nav bar (from AOKP or all-in-one roms) you can add a "last app" button that will allow you to quickly switch back and forth between two apps which I feel like is a much more practical form of multi tasking. Just think of a netbook with a 10" screen, you dont have enough screen real estate to have two windows open side by side most of the time. Being able to toggle between two quickly would be the best thing.

Well, the default 'recent apps' button in Jellybean works fine for that, but I watch a lot of hours-long debates on YouTube and hate the way it pauses the video every time I switch briefly to another app (say, to reply to an email or to open a browser). Is there a way to keep YouTube videos running in the background so the audio keeps playing even when the YouTube app isn't showing on the screen, or indeed even when the screen is locked?

There was a YouTube that had that. Last I saw it was when I used Paranoid Android. It would also keep audio on when the screen was off. I'd if it was a modified YouTube app though.

There is also an app in the market calls floating youtube. Popup player.
It plays your youtube videos in a resizeable window.
It will stay playing on top of other apps.
It does have some bugs, but it is free.
