It just replaces the YT display with video wallpaper whence the video keeps playing in the bkg. I was looking to download only the audio channels while blocking the video channels to save bandwidth etc.

It's working on Youtube Music, I can see the requests bandwidth decreased. However, in normal Youtube I tried to compare the request bandwidth and found that it's still same as normal video mode. The interface on Youtube is nice btw, keep it up
