PIP not working - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I just received my Oreo OTA on my S8+, and when I play a video on YouTube and click the home button I just get to the home screen and the PIP is not showing up as expected.
Is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong?

Only way for it to work is open youtube on the internet not the app but it will only work using Samsung internet not Chrome.

Phone to Chrome

Is it possible to be able to go the opposite way (Phone to Chrome)?
Open for discussion..
It would be interesting, but the logic would require some server service running on your desktop running chrome right?
Phone to Chrome would be great hope they can implement that feature in the future.
Search for android2cloud.
yup, android2cloud works great

Flash not working

I have seen posts of videos working in Dolphin, Maxthon, stock browser with Flash 10.1, but I have yet to see it work for me. When I click on a flash video, nothing happens.
I am on EB13 (from Samsung.exe update) and rooted with no custom roms. What can I check to get this working?
There should be a setting for Flash in Dolphin. The first time I open Dolphin, it always asks me during the setup if I want Flash on Demand, Always or never. I always put Always because the "On Demand" doesn't seem to work well.
I'd get you the setting in Dolphin but I'm in the process of flashing my phone.
Did you install flash from the market?

I installed flash from the market and flash is enabled in dolphin.
If I go to espn.com (this calls up the mobile site) and scroll down to bottom and click espn.com it will open the full site. If I then click on Sportscenter Videos tab, none of those play.
Can someone test that out as well? Are there other sites where this works so I can test as well?
Thanks in advance!

I don't have a "espn.com" link anywhere on the page that I can find. The last link I have is Sprint.com and no link shows "espn.com".

Dude what are you smokin'? ESPN.com doesn't have a link to Sprint.com???
To the OP: I followed your steps (with no trouble) and also cannot watch the videos on ESPN.com. I tried setting plug-in to ALWAYS and still no video. The website may be detecting the user agent string and disabling flash server side.
EDIT: just went there on my desktop and when I right click on a playing video it says "Disney's Media Player Framework" - this may be the cause of the problem, they are not using standard flash plug in for video.

I don't smoke. I consume edibles and pills. Sometimes I eat the ice cream but it doesn't always taste right. But I don't think you meant that to be a literal question, eh?
Here's a screenshot of ESPN.com when I navigate there through Dolphin HD. Not the greatest quality because I'm grabbing the screen through Droid Explorer video recorder but you can see, plain as day, the Spint.com as the very last link and no espn.com anywhere in that screen.

I usually test with pornhublive .com
Something about the flash on that site is unusual....it NEVER with Clockwork 3.0 OR CUSTOM ROMS.....but I works fine with stock roms on RFS

4.3 chrome auto refreshes xda

After my 4.3 update, chrome browser is auto refreshing on the xda pages like every couple seconds.
Anyone else seeing this?
Fix?
Don't have a fix for you but noticed that Firefox on my PC did the same when I had scriptblocker set too strict. Xda kept refreshing when it couldn't get to things like Google api's or ads.

Same here on 4.3stock. Chrome and chrome beta auto refresh. Side-loaded Opera with same result.
Firefox nightly does not auto refresh, but after viewing a few pages here on xda, links become inactive. Boat and Ocean browser's have same issue as Firefox.
All is OK if I don't log in.
Mine is doing the same. It seems better with the Chrome Beta version released today, but it still does it occasionally.
Try switching the xda theme to "XDA 2013 beta - 1024." It did the trick for me :good:
Are you running low on memory?

I had the same issue, fixed it by disabling prefetch web pages in chrome settings.
Hope this helps.
Edit - sorry should be preload not prefetch.
Found this thread via google search, but yeah I had this problem too so thanks for the suggestions.
My question is why when browsing the forums, one post will have large enough to read text and the next post will randomly have too small of text. How is this fixed? Currently use Chrome but happens with Firefox too.
can confirm this with boat browser... since update to 4.3 as well, before it was fine.

Video freezing on YouTube

After around 30 seconds of any youtube video, the video freezes and the audio continues. I've tried uninstalling updates but the factory version is also the same. So now the app is unusable. Any idea what's happening and what we can do to fix it? Seems a lot of others are facing this issue. I'm unsure if it's a youtube problem or a samsung one...

Have factory reset and it's still happening. I'm on kitkat and tried using both factory version of app and updated version.
Seems to be affecting people with note 3s and s5s
mine did that I updated to newest version and flashed it twice and factory reset twice
Use the nodded version found in xda android apps thread.
Thanks but for some reason I'm not able to install that version

Try to use another Internet connection?
E.g if you are using Wifi to watch the video, use 3G or another Wifi connection...
If you are using 3G, try to use Wifi.
Also check if you have enough free storage space available.

Thanks I'll give it a go on 3g although it works ok on my home connection with other devices and it's not a regular buffering issue.
I have around 18gb free space so can't imagine it's that

You have another options:
1- Feedback to the Youtube app's author for support to fix the issue.
2- Try another Youtube player apps, e.g FREEdi YouTube Player or Video Tube, and see if the problem still persists.
Possible solution
Unfortunately i had your same problem but in my case a simple reinstallation of the app solved the problem, try with a factory restore
I just made a post about this on the Sprint Galaxy S5 board. What I had to do was disable or turn off the ANT Radio Service, there should be two apps for it if this is your problem as well.

Great, thanks although I actually use the ant+. Is it possible to disable and re enable it quite easily?

Unfortunately it is not very easy because it has to be turned back on and then it will download and reinstall the updates which takes some time and is very annoying. It might be possible to freeze the apps using titanium backup but I haven't tried this yet.

Go into your recovery and format cache partition. Fixed it for me

How to play youtube videos/music in the background.

As from the title you can see that I found the easiest way to play background YouTube's videos or music which doesn't require for you to download external apps that allow that. This allows the listening while the screen is off and while using other app (not sure didn't test on every app).
Note: I'm not sure if if there is a another post on this but just incase if someone don't know about it...
1) First of all chose the YouTube video/music you want to listen in the background while doing other stuff.
2) once the video/music is playing go to home screen and after going to the home screen press the power button once to lock your device.
3) then wake up your device again this should take you to the lock screen page as shown in the picture below
4) once you can see the lock screen that has notifications on it, then swipe the clock to the left which should show the name of the YouTube title.
That's it hopefully this does work forever as I am not sure if the android would potentially close YouTube after a while but yeahhhhhh. You lot probably already know about this but just wanted to share if somebody doesn't know it.
You need to have lucky patcher and adaway youtube. Don't let it update or you'll lose ad free.

Just tried, didn't work. It is greyed out. What still does work though is when you open the video in youtube, lock, and press play button on your headphones. It starts playing and will even continue going when you're playing from a playlist for example.
