Picture in Picture for app suddenly stopped working
Only hours after my previous use of the picture in picture function to watch YouTube via the mobile site on the app browser, the function suddenly stopped working.
It would play the videos when I was in other tabs, and with the app itself closed. However, as soon as I opened it as a picture in picture window, the video paused and refused to restart playing.
This far, I have:
- cleared the cache
- force quit the app and restarted
- double checked that picture in picture was enabled (it was)
- made sure the app is up to date (it is) and compatible with my phone (it is)
- made sure the Video Background Play Fit was still enabled and up to date (it is)
None of these issues has resolved the issue. As the issue is specific to the play to play function, and is not effected by closing the browser or switching tabs, I believe it is an issue with the function, not the site.

I'm having the same problem. I don't have Video Background Play Fit (assuming extension). I do have ublock origins. Just started tonight. What works is switching to desktop mode and fiddling with it. Takes a couple tries. Youtube seems to have a bar that shows up if you scroll and the flick to get the home button to show up seems to trigger it. Resizing the pip box makes the video go black but the audio still plays.
Dailymotion is also having the same problem with the address/toolbars blocking the video but it does start playing.
