Update - 11/28/2017
After recent events I've decided to discontinue this module.
You must now use the official stuff instead.
Thanks to everyone who made this possible!
Note: To avoid any issues within Magisk you must fully uninstall this module prior getting the official one.

Disclaimer:
Code:
So yeah, I'm not responsible for any hardware damages,
device not booting up, data loss or whatever.
You must know what are you doing.
Backup everything important before flashing stuff!!
Background:
- Magisk allows us to get systemless root access, also to add modules to enhance our Android experience overall.
- YouTube Background Playback is (was?) a beloved Xposed module that nowadays is not possible to have in Nougat or above.
- There are already a couple of these modules here in XDA, but I decided to build my own and share it with you guys.
Requirements:
- Android 5.0+
- Rooted device.
- Magisk 14.0
- Magisk Manager 5.3.0
- To know your device's architecture.
Installation:
- Disable your current YouTube app in Settings (if any).
- Choose your architecture (ARM, ARM64, x86 or x64).
- Install within Magisk Manager (Magisk -> Modules -> "+" -> Choose downloaded zip from storage -> Reboot when prompted).
- Disable automatic Play Store updates. Or you can use @hinxnz's Detach mod to stop PS notifications once and for all.
- Profit!
Updating:
- Just flash again the module in Magisk/recovery and reboot.
Note:
All YouTube apks are no-dpi, so they are compatible with any screen size.
Bugs:
- Some users are reporting that after installing module and rebooting, YouTube is not there and module shows as "pending" in Magisk. Flashing in recovery fixes this in most cases.
- This module does not break SafetyNet, so don't try to hide it from any app or you may get errors.
- After flashing the module YouTube app does not show in drawer. Re-enabling app in Settings -> Apps might work.
- YouTube FC. Make sure your ROM does not theme the app itself, i.e. using Substratum. Disable theming and try again.
