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

Chrome automatically plays youtube clips inside of chrome itself.
Is there a way to open youtube links in youtube?
The "clear defaults" is greyed out under Chrome and YouTube so I guess this is the way it works out of the box.
I noticed that Pluto TV now integrates with the Live Channels app but I don't know the controls for the app.
Is there a way to pause the video while in the app since scrolling through the program guide is very laggy while a video is playing. I also don't know how to stop the video from playing since clicking the back arrow and the home button seem to not do anything.
Unfortunately Google hasn't given us any way to stop playback when using live channels. You can hit the home button on your remote, then it will play in the background; then just go into settings or another app, and it will stop the video.
Since yesterday, I noticed something strange on my note 3 - I can't seem to play 2 videos simultaneously. I tried 2 browser windows, 1 browser window and YouTube, and each time it switches between the video windiws. Is there a setting to enable multiple videos to play simultaneously?
Anyone?
Diceplayer and Youtube.com in Chrome play at the same time.
Diceplayer and Youtube app play at the same time.
Dolphin and Youtube app play at the same time.
All three tested in Multiwindow.
Youtube in a penwindow and Dolphin browser with youtube.com in the main view works. Minimizing the pen window stops the playback.
Chrome with Youtube.com in a penwindow and Youtube app in the main view works. Minimizing penwindow does not stop playback.
The Youtube app does not support background playback. (It's an iOS port, which is infinitely ironic since Google owns both Youtube and Android.)
In Multiwindow both apps are running in the foreground, but if you open two apps normally, only one is in the foreground. In Pen window both apps run in the foreground, unless you minimize the penwindow.
VLC has a Play Videos In Background setting. So does Diceplayer. (Which I did not have enabled during the test in Multiwindow)Those two could play two local videos simultaneously, as well.
Hello All,

Youtube Vanced will do the work, install Vanced microG if you need to login to your account. PiP Youtube Vanced tested on realme 2 pro. It is not ideal by any means, but you can remove or disable Youtube afterward if necessary. Kindly set Vanced as default app so any youtube link can be redirected to Vanced.
For owners of the SM-G9750 (S10+ CN / HK model), I'm trying to get some verification here on a possible software issue. I'm trying to play a 4K video file locally (specifically a 4K HDR H.265 / HEVC MKV @ 24fps video, but I believe this bug may apply to all UHD video playback - I'm not sure as I haven't done enough testing) and it seems to be dropping frames and stuttering throughout. I cannot get it to play smoothly despite trying all of the following:
Setting the phone to Performance mode.
Trying different players - in this case, the default video player, MX Player Pro and VLC.
Moving the video player app to Game Launcher and optimizing them for performance.
Forced 2D GPU Rendering in Developer Options.
Changing display resolution from WQHD to FHD.
Moving the video file from SD card to internal storage.
Disabling / uninstalling all apps which use Accessibility Services.
Clearing cache.
Factory reset.
None of these worked. ---UNTIL--- I tried using the screen recorder, from the Game Launcher settings, whilst watching the video. Playback was then perfect! No dropped frames, completely smooth, like it should be. The other alternative was to use software decoding but then colours would appear muted and battery life takes a huge hit.
So what's the deal here? Is the CPU or GPU not kicking in / being throttled whenever I launch a video player app? I'm assuming this is the case as the screen recorder seems to boost playback performance once I activate it. I'm on the June update and I'm not sure if this bug was introduced recently (I never tested 4K playback until now).
Owners of this particular model, could you please confirm if you are having this issue? Try watching a 4K video with lots of action and camera panning movements - that's where you can detect dropped frames or stuttering easily. I could provide the file I'm using for reference but it's a clip from a movie and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share it here.
Okay since no one has replied and moderators on the Samsung forums are busy removing my posts - try this clip for example, it's 4K HDR encoded in H.265 / HEVC, I don't know if that makes a difference:

Stutters in the default video player app for me. One thing to note is that it's smooth in portrait mode, but the moment you rotate into landscape fullscreen, it starts dropping frames. Now, turn on the screen recorder from within game tools and the stutters are mostly eliminated. What gives?
Another way to compare would be with a video player that lets you switch between hardware and software decoding, like MX Player. Watch the clip in HW mode and then switch to SW - it's choppier in HW mode for whatever reason. Using SW is not an option as the colours are not displayed properly and battery drain is much higher.
Regarding the clip - if it's against the rules to post such content, let me know and I'll remove it. There's a whole YouTube channel full of this stuff, I don't want to link to those as the problem I'm encountering is related to local video playback.
One last try before I sign off Here's another example if anyone has YouTube Vanced (google vanced.app for those unaware). I'm suggesting Vanced because the original YouTube app doesn't let you view at 4K resolution.
Firstly, open Vanced and tap the account icon in the upper right. Go to settings, Vanced settings, Video settings and then toggle Resolution Checks to ON. Refresh and restart the app.
Now open Game Launcher, tap the three dots in the upper right > Add apps and add YouTube Vanced to the list. We're doing this for the screen recording function which I'll mention later.
Once that's done, here's a 4K 60fps clip for you to try. It should be easier to perceive any hiccups with the higher frame rate. And of course, please set the resolution to 2160p (tap the three dots in the upper right) and watch in landscape orientation, since this is what the test is all about:

Panning shots work best. For reference, see the one of the step trail at 2:42 in the video. Does it look like it's stuttering or dropping frames intermittently?
Now, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to show the navigation bar (you need the navigation bar enabled to use the recording function) and tap on Game Tools, which is the leftmost button. Tap Record.
While the screen is recording, are the stutters now gone? To my eyes, the video is definitely smoother while the recorder is active. Appreciate any feedback from those willing to try (and confirm if I'm insane or not!) - cheers!
