YiB is an Android app, which extracts audio from YouTube videos and plays them in background.

YouTube-In-Background (YiB)

YiB is an Android app, which plays audio of YouTube Videos in the background. Also, YiB provides mechanisms for searching videos, playing your playlists and downloading videos.

This feature is against YouTube terms of service and could not be present on Google Play Store; therefore, I have developed it just for personal purposes.

YTinBG provides mechanisms for searching videos and playlists on YT, as well as logging into a Google account in order to acquire private playlists, which normally cannot be accessed.

Pause bug

When a song is being played after a search, if paused and resumed then it starts from beginning. Same issue in notification also. Also the song is on repeat after the song ends.

All videos show me that has 0 views.
Is it my bug or anyone else have?

App crashed when I use voice text at intervals

Description

When I first launched the app and searched for a video on YouTube using the voice text, the app crashed. I relaunched and searched again and I was able to search for the videos I wanted. After exiting the app for some hours and going back to search using the voice text. It crashes again before picking up. I noticed this action several times and I discovered that when ever the app is settled and visited after a while, it first crash before working well.

Expected behavior

I expected to search for videos on youtube freely at any time using the voice text without the app crashing at first initiation after exiting for a while.

Steps to reproduce

After launching the app

• Click on the search icon at the top and click on the microphone icon.

• Just say anything you want to search. You might note the crash if you are using it for the first time. If not, exit the app and revisit after few hours following the same steps. You will definitely note the crash.

Repeat music playback

Also now song is on repeat when the song has ended and the time in the notification shows the additional time of music being played, for example:

Steps of reproduction:

1. Play a song, for example: 3 min length
2. After the song has ended, it's on repeat.
3. The notification shows time of the total playback, example the same song has played twice, so the notification shows 6+ mins and it's never ending unless stopped from notification or in the app player.

I would like to suggest to add repeat toggle in the music player UI, where user can turn it on or off

google/ExoPlayer#2899

https://google.github.io/ExoPlayer/doc/reference/com/google/android/exoplayer2/Player.RepeatMode.html

https://medium.com/google-exoplayer/repeat-modes-in-exoplayer-19dd85f036d3

Notification's time runs endlessly and disappear after pauses the same song.

If not paused, the notification keeps on showing time either from 00:00 or else time after the song time ends and runs endlessly with no audio.

After 2 or 3 pauses to a same music makes the notification disappear, and the music is shown still playing in the app without any audio and control buttons of the player in the app doesn't work i.e. pause doesn't work. Anyways keep the great work up, thanks @teocci for fixing pause bug :)
