This happened after updating to Glassliquid version of Orion iOS update. (Not the glass liquid of iPhone iOS) The Orion version before that played YouTube videos in the background with the device in standby (like screen off mode) and loops to the next automatically while still bypassing the ads on YouTube.
After updating to Liquid Glass Orion version it broke that. Now it plays in the background and afterwards gets stuck on the YouTube ad and can’t auto play the next video in the background. Don’t know about the desktop as I don’t use it. Happened on mobile iOS 26. After your glass update two versions ago. The latest one doesn’t fix it either. I’ve tried adding custom block scripts and extension to replicate the previous versioning but not successful.
Happened in your web browser.
Version 1.3.28 works perfectly
Version 1.3.29 broke that feature.
Update 1.3.29 broke the feature from 1.3.28.
Extension to auto play YouTube in the background continuously broken. Now new update plays and gets caught in the ads a stops playing automatically in the background. 1.3.28 could play continuity for hours until my buds die. After 1.3.29 that feature of continuous play forever stopped. 1.3.30 does not help either
1.3.30
