The patch is working for me.

The patch prevents resuming the Shorts player when the app is cold launched.

To verify this:

• open ReVanced YT
• open a Short
• close the app
• stop the app from running in the background
• relaunch the app

If the patch is enabled, YT will launch and open the home feed.

If the patch is not enabled, the Shorts player will resume.

If Shorts are resuming, then post a video showing the behavior.

Patch is enabled, but YT is resuming shorts player

Are you sure the app was closed in the background?

Try turning on incognito mode and try again.

Also try turning on version spoofing with spoof target 18.09.39.

19.04.x has changes to the code for resuming Shorts. The patch is working for me, but maybe there is some new code that's enabled for some users.

I'm sure. In my device, clear recents is enough to force stopping all opened apps.

Turning on incognito and spoofing app to 18.09.39 is same, Shorts still resuming.

I'll try to patch 19.03.36 and see

@LisoUseInAIKyrios YT 19.03.36 is fine though, the patch is working.

Does this issue still occur? I can not reproduce it.

@oSumAtrIX with 19.09 this is now showing up for me. It must be an a/b change to use new code for resuming Shorts.
