Android youtube player app, google game played to play background

Question

I am working on an application for Android Android players such as Viral Popup. And published OK on Google Play. But a few days later he rejected using

"After a regular review, we determined that your application allows background video playback on YouTube, which violates the YouTube API Terms of Use: your client will not have an API, and you will not encourage or create functionality for your users or third parties: (8 ) separate, isolate, or modify the audio or video components of any YouTube audiovisual content accessible through the YouTube API;

statements.

And I changed my application logic. While it stops playing video after screen lock. (I think this is what Google wants me to do. The background game is related to something ..) And downloaded again. But with google error nothing has changed. However, "... we have determined that your application allows you to play in the background ..."

So guys, if you have the same problem, how do you solve this? What should I do now? How to NOT violate the YouTube API [8]?

Answer 1

While it stops playing video after screen lock.

I do not think that is enough. Terms of Service require you not to

split, isolate, or change audio or video components

I interpret this as meaning that you should not play Youtube audio without a visible video , and not play a video without an audible sound .

This means that you cannot continue playing if your application goes into the background, even if the screen is on. Please check that this does not happen by accident (for example, another application runs on top of your application).
