Is there any way to keep YouTube videos playing when I lock my phone without paying for premium?

I run yt-dlp periodically on a cron job, then a python script collates the videos into an rss feed, and copies the videos and rss to a webserver, where a podcast app that supports videos can download it. (I use Downcast.)

The user experience from this is dramatically better than the default.
