This does work with the screen on. But at least for me Vinegar background audio while locked hasn’t worked for the past several weeks. Once you lock it no longer recognizes there’s any media to play.
It has a lot of issues and sometimes it seems like there are two copies of the video – the one I’ve backgrounded and the one on the main page. So if I lock my phone it’ll go back to the part of the video the last time the phone was locked or start at 0:00. This is definitely annoying but if I fiddle with it enough I can get it to work okay-ish.
Still works for me. I still get the media overlay that tells me what is playing and elapsed/remaining time, but the actual controls do nothing (play/pause, rewind/forward).
Sometimes I get double audio; usually a refresh of the page fixes it.
