Android:
I wonder why this method works for some others (as reported on stackoverflow, but they are using Chrome or Firefox).

I also tested here a LC timer together with a javaScript callback. That relies upon that the power button would disable javaScript. This is most probable different between Android versions. So no help here.

I looked also into the YouTube API but that requires info about ActivityState from the browser. There is a solution and I overlooked that it is for Apache cordova (see link below)
** So there arises a feature request for LC to get the ActivityState for Android.

Working with the video element of HTML5 relies also on a combination of visibility, focus and blur, which all are not affected by a screen-off (power button).

In sum: Sorry, can't give more help. This is too much hardware related.

IDE:
My script above works on Mac, indeed sadly not on Windows. But for a desktop version there are more methods available, you know.

p.s. The things you mention in your last post relate exactly to **
Apache cordova fires a "pause" event when the power button is pressed and you can use that.

So it's a feature request (**) for LC rather than a bug, not only related to the browser widget.

Great that you found that link on stackoverflow which exactly matches although that dev uses phonegap.
The other link on that article mentions ?enablejsapi=1 after the youtube link which i tried also, to see if the Javascript and your script would then start work correctly, but it also did not help.

When playing a youtube video in Chrome browser on Android then it stops correctly when pushing the Power button.

So i guess i'll create a feature request (there is already another for the Home button) and see what the LC-devs reply will be.

Thanks a lot Hermann for your BIG help!
