Hi!
AFAIK there was a bug few weeks ago.

Setting previously enabled |OK
Setting previously disabled | Not Working

I guess it was fixed already.

Hi, if I play something on Youtube and hit the Home button the video/audio stops.
What should Vivaldi do if you leave the page?
I cant find a setting for background playback in Vivaldi, if I choose Home from the menu it stops playing.

Cheers, mib

Huh?

[Zalex108]

@gingerbreadbox

Fine here,
Either changing tab or moving to Device Home, audio is kept and notification appears and stays.
It can be stopped and played again

@gingerbreadbox
Hm, search in Opera:

Anyway, I think close the tab with the Home button will not work in Vivaldi.
If I change the tab it work for me.

Please, always add your Vivaldi, Android version and your device.

@gingerbreadbox
Ah, you meant the Home button of Android, I guessed you meant the home button in Vivaldi.
Home button of Android work for me too.

@Zalex108 SoundCloud background playback work, but YouTube panel disappear after switching tab or pressing home

[Zalex108]

@gingerbreadbox

I use Gestures instead of Buttons.

[gingerbreadbox]

@Zalex108 it doesn't matter, even with switching tabs panel disappear. It will not disappear only if i switch full screen video and press home, but in this case i have picture in picture, and can't use browser, because if I resume browser. It will show full screen video

I updated device info in topic

[gingerbreadbox]

Found some bad solution, if i switch pc version in options, background playback working and panel not closing

[Zalex108]

@gingerbreadbox

Not sure if related,
DynamicSpot may gets the playback alive.

Try it.
This version is still free and Ads can be skipped with PRIVATE DNS.
Choose the preferred store

@Zalex108 i don't want additional apps, and with pc version of YouTube all is good. So it's definitely bug

Upd. Also with embedded YouTube videos, background works fine

[mib2berlin]

@gingerbreadbox
It is working for @Zalex108 and me, I can test on my old Android 8.1 device later.

@mib2berlin
Upd. Also with embedded in other sites YouTube videos, background works fine. So not work only with mobile version on main YouTube domain
