How to keep youtube running in android tab.

    Hiya all.
    Anyone got an idea or workaround for this solution? Getting kinda annoyed.

    I have a HTC 728. Its a foreign phone but don't think its relevant. I like to play youtube via the app and the browser. I bluetooth it to an aquaboom speaker and listen to it that way. My problem is whenever I get a notification, or minimise the window or open a new tab, it stops the music like pressing pause. In other words, for it to play, it has to be on the currently displayed window.

    I do use poweramp for onboard music, but dont think I can use that to stream the youtube.

    Any ideas or workarounds?

    Not sure if it's still about but I used to use an app called Firetube for this.

    Firefox browser allows you to play YouTube with the screen off. I use it whilst out walking etc.

    Root it, install Xposed and download Youtube Background Playback module.
