Bug seems to have gone away after a full device restart, will leave issue open in case anyone else has the issue.
Still happens sometimes. Unsure what causes it. Haven't found a guaranteed trigger but once it starts it doesn't stop without force close app or device restart.
Try on a non-Graphene device.
I have the same issue after starting a live-stream in browser app (but can be any other app as well). Even after stop playing the stream, it buffers data every 5 seconds and thus using my audio (for whatever reason) so that any newpipe video is paused. After a phone-restart the browser and stream is closed and not causing any further interruptions. For me, it is reproducible and maybe the same reason for you

Maybe the issue is more specific to GrapheneOS itself, if you experienced the same thing on another app, try to ask on GrapheneOS forum

After further testing I think this is right. Newpipe seems to only and reliably pause every 5s or so if there is a paused stream in the background of another app, for me that is usually an audio stream in the browser. If I close the stream Newpipe works normally again, but it should probably be able to fully take control of the foreground regardless of what's in the background.
Reopening because someone might figure out a workaround.
But just to state this outright, the straightforward solution of insistently keeping, or trying to regain, audio focus will likely backfire when the interruptions are from a more important source, like incoming calls, or user-initiated playback on another app.
@BHydden Please update the issue description so that it contains the new info.

I didn't consider the browser claiming authority. I guess it makes sense but I feel there should be a way to keep paused streams from interrupting foreground services š¤ but if it can't I understand.
