I actually just checked on my phone, and I don't see the big X you have, and it works exactly as you describe. I single click anywhere on the video, and the buttons all disappear.

I am running v13.12.60, Dark, Root. Which I think is an old version, as I haven't updated since I first installed it.

--------edit-------------

Just upgraded to the latest version, and it works like that as well.

There are two websites for Youtube Vanced.

Link: https://vanced.azurewebsites.net/

Link: https://youtubevanced.com

And both of them claim to be official. Can someone please confirm which one is the real and which one is the fake?

(I know the OP mentioned about the first link. But I was wondering if the second link also belongs to them or if that is fake)

Thank you!!
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Second link does not belong. You should probably remove it.
[Android Apps and Games] rboy28:
Second link is a fake (it seems to be a copy, nothing more or even worse (malware and stuff, who knows ...)).

You're ALWAYS save when you use the OP linked site - simply ignore the rest and have fun :)
[Android Apps and Games] KevinX8:
It's most likely to generate clicks from the huge amount of ads and fake links on the fake site, turn off adblock and you will see what I mean.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Although possible, "faking" an MD5 is at a difficulty level that, you can assume it as not possible. I don't know what an "sp-1" is :confused: It is not "faked" within the binary, but a mathematical calculation based on the bits/bytes that make up the file. The assumption is that two files with the same MD5 have the exact same file contents.

However, as has been stated above, simply always use the links in the OP, and not any 3rd party sourced links. The other site is *probably* making the download available to increase their page hits, and thereby generate advertising revenue, or the possibility for future revenue generated by page hits.
[Android Apps and Games] shaqman89:
I'm assuming you meant sha1, and faking them is quite hard indeed.

As to what they are trying to accomplish, there could be a range of possibilities:

* a fan creating a mirror

* an attacker injecting some more scripts in the site (tracker, ads, etc)

* or simply gain ranking for now and do anything malicious when it is pass the suspicion phase and get more popular than the other one.
[Android Apps and Games] rcortese:
I'm getting a 403 error at the official site.

It'd be great if the xda-developers link actually referenced the azure website. Since it's the first result when googling youtube vanced I always assumed it was up-to-date.

Ended up here only when trying to fix the "no watch history" issue.
[Android Apps and Games] rcortese:
Actually I'm not...

But if it's up for you it's something on my end. Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
It's not you. They just met their bandwidth limit. It will be back. Until then the MediaFire link is good.

When I installed 13.34.50 on s9+ oreo 8.0 and the black overlay works just fine.

However, when I installed 13.37.52 on note 9 oreo 8.1, the app wouldn't show black theme, even though it says theme vblack 2.0.2

Anyone else encounter this?

edit: i didnt realize there is an option for black theme throughout.

Also, it seemed that my youtube vanced on note 9 is often stuck during playback, also in the playlist sequence like when the video already move on to the next one - the playlist still showing that its still palying the previous video). I have added youtube vanced on always ignore on battery settings on my galaxy note 9
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
the other common cause is a brand account(2 YouTube usernames/accounts in 1 google account)

microG can't handle brand accounts properly, so you'll need to merge them to get history working.
[Android Apps and Games] kaevur:
I'm having a trouble reinstalling YouTube Vanced with microg.

It just logged me out couple of days ago and I couldn't sign in any more. Over the year this has happened once before but removing and reinstallin microg and Vanced solved the problem promptly.

Now, no matter which version combo of Vanced/Microg I try I get the message "microg for youtube Vanced has stopped working".

I'm for no-root version

OnePlus 3T, no system updates/modificstiona or anything that I changed. Phone is on stock ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] AxiK.:
Any updates?
[Android Apps and Games] gello0:
No, Is there a reason to update when current version works fine?
[Android Apps and Games] Leo_83:
I'm having similar problem I have reinstalled Vanced on my phone after I did a factory reset and I get logged out of my account after a while.

I have tried both microg versions with the latest non root version but I still get logged out.
[Android Apps and Games] baxtex:
I've had this issue for quite a while: https://imgur.com/a/7Uo0JtR

As you can see, the statusbar somtimes blocks full screen view when using Vanced. The only thing helping is killing and restarting the app but then it comes back quite quickly. I'm on the Oneplus 6 with Android Pie official and latest vanced.

So for some reason today's update (13.43.50(b01.26.00)) on Magisk simply doesn't work and YouTube crashes when my phone boots up.

Do you guys have some sort of patrion or paypal? Just found your app and I would really like to give you my youtube premium money. Since I'm in Romania and, it seems, Youtube doesn't support 2nd world countries, I always had to use express vpn also. So two monthly subs to have youtube premium. You guys are saving me money and bandwith and I would like to repay that.

Does anyone know how to return to full screen after watching something in PiP-mode? I always have the status bar on top of the video until I force close YouTube vanced. Tested on 4 devices with different aspect ratio. All the same.

You must be on Android Pie, PiP is only officially supported with Oreo.

I can't get HDR to work even on latest version. I am using a OnePlus 5T and the last time this worked was back in February/March. I have chosen both S8+ and Pixel XL but nothing will enable the HDR option. Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] xange:
app crashed after update through magisk(v13.43.50). I went to reset the app's data and reconfig the vanced settings, found out that if you turn on "Auto Repeat" it will cause that crash but it doesn't happen on other option including "Auto Repeat - Background Playback". So, if you experience crashes, just reset app's data and do not turn on "auto repeat"
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:

So i have this problem with My non root version.

I can't do the playback in background. I mean.. i've used the app for a long time already lmao.

Just today i only can choose 144-360-720 to all videos (Can't background playback) and after restarting the resolution is fixed but not the background playback.

I wonder if youtube did something about our beloved app.
[Android Apps and Games] DallasBelt:
Fixed in latest version according to changelog :D
[Android Apps and Games] Leo_83:
I just tried with a previous version and I still get logged out. I can easily trigger it by simply clearing resent/background apps.

When logging in I see my old brand account but choose the new merged account so it shouldn't be that.
[Android Apps and Games] mrsubway:
Okay. I'm not sure what I did. I was using vp9. Switched to default codec, and background play worked again. Switched back to vp9 and it still works.
[Android Apps and Games] lunateac:
Sad thing it's not working. It's pretty weird.. I look up about some people discussing something similar, but vanilla youtube. Their conclusion is ISP.

I tried clean cache and data, in my other phone also got the exact same problem.

is it only me or you can't go back to the video you were watching by hitting the left arrow if you tap on the a video accidentally? Is there a workaround?
[Android Apps and Games] Zraxonix:
The problem is probably battery optimization, try to find youtube in battery optimization options and turn it off for yt.

Hello

I have a problem with background playback.

I installed both of the Vanced & microG. As long as I don't sign-in to google, backround playback works perfect. However, once I sign into my account, it doesn't work unless you keep the "picture-in-picture" thing which I hate the most.

Any suggestion? I'm using the latests versions.
[Android Apps and Games] EMP83:
Same problem for me! ?
[Android Apps and Games] Sagar_zac:
Background play problem from today also video playing in 144 p default even after changing it in settings ,,,problem started from today ...?

[Android Apps and Games] Viima:
Hi!

I love this app so much!

I'm having a great problem now however, background playback just stopped working after I've installed the newest Samsung security patch (oct. 2018). I mean, I d suppose that's the issue because I didn't do anything else... I navigated through the phone's settings and tried to undo whatever they could have changed (idk, battery optimization, background activity, etc).. reinstalled vanced, reset settings...

Anyone has any ideas?

Oh, I have a A5 2017

Thank you in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Same happened to me an i enable vp9 codec which seem to have fixed it. Dunno why, it just has.

[Android Apps and Games] abedo7997:
I'm not sure if it's worth to mention that it has stopped in ogyoutube app too, today!
[Android Apps and Games] sohailthebeast:
Thanks this appears to be a working solution for now otherwise you would have to use no account in YouTube vanced to get background play.

Wonder what's causing it ...

Also as others have noted it's not just Vanced but other moded YouTube apks are having this issue since today. It seems to be restricting background play by certain accounts possibly blacklisted if that's even possible.
[Android Apps and Games] nassiball:
I got the background playback working again by going to opening screen, tap on your account icon, settings, last option (reset and reopen). I disabled the YouTube app but I don't think that's necessary.

Can someone tell the change logs for latest 13.43.50 version? On official vanced homepage the version isn't uploaded yet. Is it recommended to update?
[Android Apps and Games] Fardenco:
Am I the only one losing my parameters everytime I update ? I couldn't find anything related to this in this topic.

I use the root installer method

Anyway, this app is a savior.
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
Happens to me too. The installer zip probably deletes YouTube app data in order to fully replace the stock YouTube if it exists in system.

No idea if there's any option for the installer to avoid that.
[Android Apps and Games] anzhaki:
Unfortunately I already disabled it.
[Android Apps and Games] Fardenco:
That would really be great
[Android Apps and Games] gast12:
Thanks for the great app.

The official website https:// vanced.azurewebsites. net is down currently.

Is there a way to log out of the Magisk version of the app? I went through all settings and did not find that option. I am running Carbon Rom Official on a Sony Z3C with Magisk. Can't find a logout button. Using incognito meanwhile, which is at least a workaround.

After installing YouTube Vanced my Chromecast stopped working. It would not play the video. I uninstalled Vanced and regular YouTube Chromecast is also broken. When I signed in a different it would work so somehow Vanced messed up my account.

Try what I posted a few hours ago

I got the background playback working again by going to opening screen, tap on your account icon, settings, last option (renew and reopen). I disabled the YouTube app but I don't think that's necessary.
[Android Apps and Games] giuliastro:
The problem is the it doesn't show up among apps to be chosen as default player, while Youtube, Spotify and so on do.
[Android Apps and Games] Llama Herder:
Look's like it's YouTube bug. My account only plays 360p adn 720p unless I log out or change to another account then I was able to play up to 4k. I guess chromecast doesn't work because it was trying to play 1080p by default which doesn't exist on my Youtube account. I am wonder if Youtube knew I was using Vancnced and limited my ability to play FHD.

Some people having same issue on reddit:

[Android Apps and Games] HimikoMw:
If I try it but it does not play in the background anyway. Only when I change my account can. But with my main account, it can not.
[Android Apps and Games] irasek85:
I have this same problem.

When i log in then not work background player.

When i log out then work good.

In mode incognito work good.

Does anyone know what's going on? why it does not work on the logged-in user?
[Android Apps and Games] .::AIMAN::.:
Can't we install the latest apk over the vanced youtube as update? Do we really have to flash the modules everytime an update comes out?
[Android Apps and Games] Viima:
Exactly. That's what is going on at least for a couple users here. It does not work when I'm logged on my main account.

I've tried to look if there's anything different in the accounts and only thing is that my main it's also a channel, which my secondary is just regular acc. I deactivated the channel (didn't wanted to completely erase it 'cause don't want to lose subscriptions, history, etc) but the issue persists.

I've also changed my secondary account and made it a channel and background playback still works just fine, so it's not a channel-no channel thing...

Of course not. How would installing an APK inject itself into a magisk module? If you use the universal installer yes you have to flash it every time. If you don't want to lose your settings try installing the repo version

[Android Apps and Games] davidred7697:
There is something weird about this. Sure it has small details like the white live comments and occasional force closes but that's not a big deal, imo.

There seems to be something weird with how it's integrated with Google accounts. First of all, it had me log into my Google account completely. When I tapped the Google accounts icon, a list of my Google accounts ready to be tapped didn't appear. It was empty and asked me to add a Google account. I had to input my username, password and verify with 2 step. So that's weird.

The other weird thing that happens is that it doesn't seem to have access to or write to search or browsing history. No past searches appear when I tap the search bar like they usually do. Also, it does this weird thing with watched videos. It's as if it knows I watch certain videos but idk how to explain it. So, say I watch videos A, B and C. Normally, YouTube acknowledges that and shows me video related to these videos but never shows me those videos again. This app knows that I watched videos A, B and C and seems to show me related videos, but proceeds to show me those same videos in my recommended list/news feed all over again. Plus, when I go to my watch history, it seems like none of the videos I've watched since installing this app are in the list. Can this be fixed somehow or is it just the nature of 3rd party youtube apps? Ad blocking works great, which is why I installed it in the first place.

Thanks.
