YouPiP display a blank PiP when not playing video.

[quoctrile8]

Hello, PoomSmart. I have a problem with YouPiP. When I enabled it, started watching video and then exited to the home screen, PiP worked.
But when I returned back to the YouTube app, closed the playing video and then exited to the home screen, a blank PiP will appear forever unless I close it.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling YouTube but it can't help.
YouTube version: 19.49.7
YouPiP version: 1.11.0
I attached a video to describe this issue.
Hope you can help me solve this issue.
Many thanks!

Can you show me your current YouPiP settings?

Okay it's here. I only turn on the Enabled function.
I also tried turning on the Legacy PiP and it fixes the problem. But the YTUHD tweak doesn't work anymore.

If you move the PiP window to somewhere else on the screen, the next time you do this will the bug still happen?

Because that's what seemed to happen for me. I could reproduce it until I did that.

Yes, the bug still happens when I move PiP windows to other positions on the screen.

Also I found that, when playing a video in PiP mode, if I press the close button on the PiP window, the video pauses when I return to YouTube. However, if I exit the YouTube app, the PiP window reappears, showing the progress bar blinking. Although the PiP video appears to be playing, it is actually paused.
I’ve attached a video showing this bug.

Latest YouPiP version? (1.12.0) ?

Latest YouPiP version? (1.12.0) ?

I have tried latest version 1.12.0. Now, when I tried all the steps I told you, the blank PiP window still occurs but automatically disappears after a few seconds instead of appearing forever.
Also, the latest bug I mentioned on latest comment via video I attached is still happening.

Can't seem to reproduce the last bug. iPhone 11 iOS 15.4.1

Do you have any other PiP related or YouTube tweaks installed?

No, I just only use YouPiP and YTVideoOverlay for YouTube. I don't have any PiP related tweaks.

Can you try YouPiP version 1.12.7?

Can you try YouPiP version 1.12.7?

I tried YouPiP version 1.12.7, but the blank PiP issue still occurs and disappears after a few seconds.

However, I noticed that this only happens when I close a video that is playing and return to the Home Screen.

If I pause the video before closing it and then return to the Home Screen, the blank PiP won’t appear.

Can you install YTABConfig, go to its settings, tap on "Copy current settings" then paste the result here?

@quoctrile8 I think you'd have a better luck upgrading YouTube to the latest version (20.x.x) ?
