Application

YouTube

Issue

When you watch a video but don't watch it until the end, the miniplayer always pops up when starting the youtube app again.
It doesn't matter if you close the miniplayer, it still returns after you come back to yt app after some time.
Even force closing the app makes it return at startup.
Haven't had this issue in the previous versions.

Patch

Remove the "continue watching" miniplayer that pops up every time you open youtube, even with a force close.

Motivation

Its incredibly annoying

It's been a long time since the issue opened, and no one has considered this patch.

(I didn't know how to implement this either)

While I was researching YouTube API endpoints to improve the Change living click action patch, I found a clue about this patch.

When the web page (www.youtube.com) was initialized, the response included onResponseReceivedActions.showMiniplayercommand JSONObject.

When I patched the Method - which showMiniplayerCommand is used - in the YouTube Android app, resuming Miniplayer was disabled.

So.. it's been implemented as a patch.

Additional Context

Continue watching is a feature that is only available for YouTube Premium accounts.

(This is not related to AlertDialog Video paused. Continue watching?)

In Chrome, it can be disabled through chrome extensions or userscripts, but it was not possible in the YouTube Android app.
