just install "New pipe" from f-droid, it really rocks. Allows you to play videos in background, download video or audio - practically everything. The only issue is that it sometimes breaks when youtube changes its protocol

No, New pipe can only play background videos on picture in picture which is very annoying. Is there a way to get true background playing on newpipe?

BTW you should take a look at YouTube Vanced.

This is not the experience I have. Are you sure you're on the latest version?

Thanks I misused it. One actually has to touch the headphone icon which is not very accessible but it works!
