Suspects:
Magisk systemless root. No twrp.
Non-Root iYTBP Youtube (arm64 black)
Jan update stock oreo
Bug reproduction:
Play a youtube video
Switch to launcher so video plays in popup
Lock the phone
Unlock the phone (fingerprint)
My questions:
Fix?
Does this happen with root version ( I can't get it working using just magisk)
Does this happen with paid yt red?

Yes this happened to me also. In my case it will also trigger a reboot.
So, just switched back to normal YouTube.

It doesn't happen with background playback, you can just make the video a popup inside the iytbp app, just like on the normal yt app and then go to launcher, that doesn't cause the crash.

Since updating to 4.4, I'm having an odd problem. When visiting sites in Chrome that have embedded YouTube videos (forums, blogs, etc), I can play the video but no sound comes through. I can open the YT app and play the video normally. I downloaded Dolphin Browser and videos play fine.
I tried switching over to ART and back to Dalvik. Made no difference either way. Also tried clearing default applications in case video playback was somehow tied to an app that wasn't fully 4.4-compatible.
Anyone else having the same problem?
As a side issue - I can't interact with the like/dislike/share icons at the top of the video. Is this also a common thing?
having the same issue: embedded youtube videos on chrome browser does not have audio.
did not update bootloader, sideloaded odexed 4.4

Yeah, I should note that as well - I sideloaded - I did not get OTA.
As an experiment I went ahead and did the nuclear option - restoring to the factory image that just got released. Good news, that did the trick and videos in Chrome are now behaving.
Bad news...now I have to wait for all my apps to restore
Weird. Wiped, updated boot loader, flashed deodexed and now it is working.

I have similar problem the video is divided in 3 parts and in black and white
i solved it by reinstall you tube app
youtube on PA 5.1
I'm having a similar problem, but it is not limited to youtube. I have tired plex too, and it also fails to play a video.
When I play a video youtube I just get "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry"
In plex the video fails to play telling me to restart my plex media server and to reboot the phone.
I have rebooted the phone and it makes no difference.
Anybody have any ideas on how to fix that? Everything else seems to work properly on this rom so far, and the stock rom is getting more and more laggy which is why I'm trying different roms.
Anybody have any ideas?
**Update**
For some reason a video would start without video at times. When that happens if I change the quality to something lower than 480p, it actually works.
MX player works perfectly regardless of resolution.
Plex is completely broken, it will not work regardless of what I set the video to, it fails.

Problem: Youtube App - almost all videos will initially show the static video preview screen, but will then go black as soon as ad and/or video starts. Audio is fine throughout.
I can play YT video from the Chrome browser on the phone (after disabling hardware acceleration).
I've cleared data/cache from YT app. I've uninstalled/reinstalled YT app. Reinstalled all YT updates, etc. Don't know what the issue is. Annoying.

Start playing video then swipe to dismiss it. Play the video again and it should work. Happens to me on a modded version I have and usually that fixes it.
I'm experiencing the same issue. It only works through swipping down with Youtube modded version.
Really miss the official YouTube app.
Any help .. ?
I have YouTube vanced and when switching apps normally YouTube would play in a little window.
It's switched on in YouTube's settings any help
Though I'm a YT Vanced user - I guess it's the same workaround: to get PiP I have to enter the recent apps switcher to trigger the miniature player, while Youtube is playing a video - otherwise it just plays audio in the background and the PiP window is not displayed.
go to phone settings and disable Picture-in-Picture
Sorry auto correct its vanced I'm using not cancer oops
After countless wondering and trying various reasons....for those who have yet to figure out, the cause of the issue for YouTube background playback for this lgv20 anyway is Google Play Services being disabled and whitelist able. GSM dozing persay.
If Google play services are left alone, YouTube background playback will not have anymore issues during screen off. I just found this out ?. Hope this helps anyone with same issue.
Ok...well it started again...I apologise. It was working. Damn it!
I would advise you to check out the Vanced version of YouTube. It has flawless background playback. Just follow the instructions on the website, they have separate versions for both rooted and unrooted phones.

That's what I using. I even tried other methods. This is bull**** lol. Worked then didn't work anymore. Seems like a nougat bug because Oreo didn't have issue.
So yeah...was working at work, then home for a few, then it would keep stopping after one song until I flashed screen on then would work again for a few. Once again this morning tho... background was flawlessly for like 4 songs in a row. So odd of an issue. It works...then don't work lol. This is referring to background playback with autoplay.
For issue: When YouTube goes to play next video while screen off..it will play a few seconds then stop until screen on even tho on lockscreen still. Don't even have to unlock and it starts playing again.
When good: it continues to autoplay in background without stopping screen on or off.
?working good again...same sinareo for Google play services...unmodified (greyed out for battery optimization). YouTube Vanced, YouTube white listed?
So as it did again...I remembered I also had app ops with Google framework and Google play services both set to NOT keep device awake. I set back to allow for both, rebooted. All is flawless so far. ?

Interesting observation about Nougat vs. Oreo. I don't use YouTube Vanced (older version 14.21.54 via Magisk) often, so I never noticed.
I wonder if various kernel tweaks play a role in this.
Here are my findings when going through a playlist with the screen off:
On stock-based Oreo (Alpha Omega) for both US996 USA and H918:
- Kernel tweaks: LKT 1.9.3, balanced profile
- No power saving exclusions for Google Play Services (turned off via Enable Doze for GMS Magisk module), Google Services Framework, YouTube
- Flawless continuous background playback
On stock-based Nougat (Classic Rom) for LS997:
- Kernel tweaks: AKT 1.6, Project Zhana Battery profile
- Battery optimizations are turned on for Google Play Services and Google Services Framework
- If I enable battery optimization for YouTube, then background playback stops after around 5 minutes. But once I disable/ignore the optimization for it, then continuous playback works perfectly.
So, at least in my case, power saving/battery optimization settings for Google Play Services and Framework don't seem to affect YouTube's background play.

Yeah...it's hit and miss and varies day to day. I don't care anymore lol. Spotify has no issues at all. Google dozes or whitelisting don't matter. YouTube is just odd and figgity. Same setting for youtube and different results everytime. OREO OR nougat. Idk what's up lol.
Was fine, then acted up also on my temp root and my girlfriends non root Oreo. YouTube sucks lol
