Thanks for the link to Newpipe! Been looking for something like this ever since YouTube disabled playing videos in background tabs.

  There's also the YouTube Downloader for Android, which is not perfect but has served me well: https://dentex.github.io/apps/youtubedownloader/ https://dentex.github.io/apps/youtubedownloader/

    Just so you know, NewPipe lets you download videos too (although a dedicated app might have a better interface for it)

  Another thank-you from me! It also blocks ads!

    It doesn't block, it just doesn't implement that particular feature.

  You're welcome! For anyone else who hasn't come across it: Newpipe allows you to (a) watch the video directly in fullscreen (b) download it as video or audio (c) play the audio in the background (d) play it in a small (adjustable) pop-up window that can remain on screen while you browse other apps. It's still very much in development though. There are random errors that pop up when navigating (not too frequent, but you'll probably see one if you use it for a week or so), and it just recently got the ability to display playlists (you have to manually select the next video after one finishes playing, doesn't have auto-advance feature yet).
