YouTube playing in standby mode

There's been a few occasions where I have wanted to do this too but as soon as you hit the sleep button the video just stops playing, would love to know if there is a way to keep it playing (A Jailbroken App maybe) although I'm pretty sure there isn't a way

 

I thought everyone knew this. Just double tap the home button and push play to continue playing the video while in standby mode. I've been doing this since the first iphone came out. I hope they never fix it.

 

I can't believe that I never found this out, I have been an iPhone user for 4 years now and I never knew you could do this! Thanks for the tip anyway

 

This works most of the time. But I find that if listening to music using the iPod app then switching to YouTube. All that happens is that the iPod starts playing again. The fix, force close/kill the iPod app.

 

I didn't know either! Thanks SinYakuza.
